“The greatest power Americans have is our values,” said Clark. “We want to use our values as a force for good.”

Clark presented a comprehensive view of America’s past and present political strategies, including the effects of those political decisions in popular culture, to an audience of more than 600. He emphasized the need to build the U.S. economy, strengthen alliances, and reaffirm environmental principles. 

“With the right strategy, we will be the nation of the 21st century,” said Clark.
