Jeffrey Montgomery

Is it any wonder that those who attack us feel they have a license to do so? A license to kill? Police won't investigate. Juries won't convict. The public still thinks our lives are a political issue, defined by the mythic "Gay Agenda." America. You Kill Me! America kills all of us.

Janet Reno

I simply have to draw the line and stand up for what I believe to be a very important principle: Prosecutions in America must be free of political influence.

Where America has got to move is not growth for the sake of growth, but it`s got to move to a society that provides a high quality of life for all of our people. In other words, if people have health care as a right, as do the people of every other major country, then there's less worry about growth.

How could anybody defend the top 400 richest people in this country owning more wealth than the bottom half of America, 150 million people?
