    Maine is our home. Tomorrow we rise before the dawn — like the mist over the Sandy River — and seek adventure, with hope in our hearts and love in our souls for the brand new day. To all of you, and to the people of Maine, I say, welcome home. Thank you.

    Climate change is threatening our jobs, damaging our health and attacking our historic relationship to the land and sea. Tonight I say, enough. Enough with studies, talk, and debate. It is time to act!

    I do think about all the things they can do, along with their brilliant brothers, uncles and fathers. But truly, this year’s milestone will one day be commonplace. When future generations read of this day, they will wonder what the fuss was about.
