Lincoln Chafee: I'm Lincoln
Chafee and I am a Democrat considering a run for president of the
United States.
The 2016 election
is an important one for the
Democratic Party and for America.
Campaigns are times
for debates
about the vision for our future and for voters to assess the character
and experience of those offering ideas.
When the Republicans were last in power, they left the economy in
shambles. Over the last six years, President Obama has led
admirably. He has revived our economy.
As we look to the
future in this age of nuclear weapons, I'm alarmed about the
international instability, especially in the Middle East and North
Africa. I don't like where this is going.
Americans want safety, stability and sustainability. We will
need fresh ideas and the most skillful diplomacy in dealing with this
eve- changing world.
Throughout my career as Mayor, Governor and United States Senator I
exercised good judgment on a wide range of high pressure
decisions--decisions that require level-headedness and careful
foresight. Often these decisions came in the face of political
adversity.
During the next weeks and months, I look forward to sharing with you
my thoughts about the future of our great country. Thank you.
