About Me:
This will be my last broadcast here on CNN, where Ive worked for most of the past 30 years, and where I have many friends and colleagues whom I admire deeply and respect greatly.
Im the last of the original anchors here on CNN and Im proud to have had the privilege to helping to build the worlds first news network.
Im grateful for the many opportunities that CNN has given me over these many years. Ive tried to reciprocate with a full measure of my ability and my energy.
Over the past six months its become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us, and some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem solving as well as to contribute positively to the great understanding of the issues of our day. And to continue to do so in the most honest and direct language possible.
Ive talked extensively with Jonathan Klein — Jons the president of CNN — and as a result of those talks, Jon and i have agreed to a release from my contract that will enable me to pursue new opportunities.
At this point, Im considering a number of options and directions, and I assure you, I will let you know when I set my course. I truly believe that the major issues of our time include the growth of our middle class, the creation of more jobs, health care, immigration policy, the environment, climate change, and our military involvement, of course, in Afghanistan and Iraq.
But each of those issues is, in my opinion, informed by our capacity to demonstrate strong resilience of our now weakened capitalist economy and demonstrate the political will to overcome the lack of true representation in Washington, D.C.
I believe these to be profoundly, critically important issues, and I will continue to strive to deal honestly and straightforwardly with those issues in the future.
Unfortunately, these issues are now defined in the public arena by partisanship and ideology rather than by rigorous, empirical thought and forthright analysis and discussion. Ill be working diligently to change that as best i can. And as for the important work of restoring inspiration to our great free society and our market economy, I will strive as well to be a leader in that national conversation.
Its been my great honor to work with each and every person at this wonderful network. I will be eternally grateful to CNN, to Ted Turner, and to all of my colleagues and friends, and of course to you at home. I thank you, and may God bless you.

The Dirty Dozen™ Manifesto "In this time of moral and political crises, it is the responsibility of citizens of America to affirm certain eternal truths. We, the Dirty Dozen™ believe: -That foremost among the transcendent values is the individual's use of his God-given free will, whence derives his right to be free from the restrictions of arbitrary force; -That liberty is indivisible, and that political freedom cannot long exist without economic freedom; -That the purpose of government is to protect those freedoms through the preservation of internal order, the provision of national defense, and the administration of justice; -That when government ventures beyond these rightful functions, it accumulates power, which tends to diminish order and liberty; -That the Constitution of the United States is the best arrangement yet devised for empowering government to fulfill its proper role, while restraining it from the concentration and abuse of power; -That the genius of the Constitution - the division of powers - is summed up in the clause that reserves primacy to the several states, or to the people in those spheres not specifically delegated to the Federal government; -That the market economy, allocating resources by the free play of supply and demand, is the single economic system compatible with the requirements of personal freedom and constitutional government, and that it is at the same time the most productive supplier of human needs; -That when government interferes with the work of the market economy, it tends to reduce the moral and physical strength of the nation, that when it takes from one to bestow on another, it diminishes the incentive of the first, the integrity of the second, and the moral autonomy of both; -That we will be free only so long as the national sovereignty of the United States is secure; that history shows periods of freedom are rare, and can exist only when free citizens concertedly defend their rights against all enemies -That the forces of international Communism are, at present, the greatest single threat to these liberties; -That the United States should stress victory over, rather than coexistence with this menace; and -That American foreign policy must be judged by this criterion: does it serve the just interests of the United States?" -That the forces of Islamo-facism are, at present, the greatest single threat to these liberties. *this manifesto is loosely based on a speech given in 1960 in Sharon, CT. Thank you, Jeanne, for bringing it up to speed with our situation, and bringing these words back to life!
Books:
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didnt pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free. " Ronald Reagan, Address to the annual meeting of the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce
