Friend --
There was a time when Americans overcame tremendous natural
barriers to build great infrastructure projects that transformed the
nation into an agro-industrial power house. With the Erie Canal and
the Croton Aqueduct as a model, New York State, especially through the
development of the Army Corp of Engineers at West Point, led the way
in these great endeavors throughout the nation, and, in fact,
throughout the world.
As my campaign has stated, today we must turn “swords into
plowshares” and put our great capabilities back towards the mission of
building for mankind instead of destroying on behalf of a decadent and
desperate financial oligarchy. The world is moving towards win-win
cooperation based on peaceful development. It’s time for the United
States to resume its historic role as the American Republic, not the
British Empire.
