DODD DRAWS CLEAR DISTINCTIONS ON ABILITY TO PRODUCE RESULTS
Presidential
Candidate Stands Out with Bold Solutions, Proven Track Record of Success
HANOVER, NH - Presidential candidate Chris Dodd stood out from the pack tonight by pointing to his proven ability to get results and his bold solutions to America's most pressing issues.
"I've spent 26 years working on every major domestic and foreign policy issue
facing our country. I have proven I can get results for our nation - I authored
the Family and Medical Leave Act, child care legislation, dealing in Latin
America, dealing with financial services," said Dodd. "I think people want not
only promises of what you'll do, but a proven record of what you've been able to
accomplish."
Dodd, who has led the fight to responsibly end the war in Iraq
in the Senate, is the only Senator running for President to vow to have all
troops out of Iraq by 2013, saying "I will get that done."
"Walking away from international conventions as we did with the Geneva conventions, to disallow the restrictions on torture and to walk away from habeas corpus, I think is a mistake," said Dodd, the author of the Restoring the Constitution Act. "But leadership requires that you try and do something about it. I'm doing something about it by trying to get Congress to overturn the Military Commissions Act, which passed last year."
"Chris Dodd will put an end to the bickering and fighting that have defined our recent political history which have prevented us from solving the big challenges that face the country by bringing people together to get the job done," said Former NH Democratic Party Chair and Dodd New Hampshire Campaign Co-Chair Joe Keefe. "Chris Dodd has delivered time and time again for Americans as a U.S. Senator and I am confident he is the only candidate who will get results as President."
"Chris Dodd was the only President on stage tonight," said Campaign Manager
Sheryl Cohen. "Chris Dodd is the only one who truly understands the stakes in
this election, has a command of the issues important to middle class families,
but most importantly, can deliver for the American people."
Dodd will
continue to build on his strong performance tonight by bringing his message of
bold leadership and real results to Iowa voters this weekend.
