In Their Own Words

Affordable, quality health care and long-term financial security are two issues that Americans care deeply about in the 2008 presidential election. Divided We Fail has produced In Their Own Words, a guide that contains the candidates' own words on these important issues.

The statements listed come from candidate websites, speeches, books and campaign literature and from candidate answers to questions at events around the country; statements are organized by Divided We Fail platform principles. Prior to publication, each candidate was asked to review their statements to ensure accuracy.
