2008 Public Policy Goals

 

 

"The moral test of government is how well that Government treats those who are in the dawn of life, the children, those who are in the twilight of life, the elderly, and those who are in the shadows of life, the sick, the needy and the handicapped."

Hubert H. Humphrey
1911-1978
 
"There are, in every age, new errors to be rectified and new prejudices to be opposed."

Samuel Johnson
1709-1784
