William Weld
Before my tenure, people didn't seem to think that citizens had a right to limit the size of their government.
William Weld
We are making our case that we're fiscally responsible and socially inclusive and welcoming. And we think we've got on the merits the best ticket of the three parties, if you will, and so, you know, we'd like to get there.
William Weld
There are several such issues where I have departed radically from the Republican orthodoxy.
William Weld
I think the dignity of Congress and the dignity of the country demands something more than merely censure here.
William Weld
In the nineteenth century, slavery was the greatest wrong, and government never stood so tall as when it was redressing that wrong.
William Weld
We speak for all citizens of the Commonwealth when we say that society can draw great hope for the future because of the example which these young people are giving by their creative and constructive responses to the challenges which confront our communities and dedication to help those most in need.
William Weld
I think Hillary Clinton deserves to have people vouch for her other than members of the Democratic National Committee.
