moving differences political
The difference between the very wealthy and the working poor has grown. We raise that minimum wage and we move forward with the vision of this president that we have, which is everyone pays their fair share.
past thinking rights
With so many of our fundamental rights hanging in the balance, it is not good enough to simply roll the dice, hoping a nominee has changed his past views. It's not good enough to think, 'This is the best we can expect from this president'.
rip oil special
So when you go up against the Far Right you go up against the big financial special interests like the Halliburtons of the world, the big oil companies, the big energy companies who work so hard to rip us off.
brother pregnancy simple
In the early stages of a pregnancy, the Government cannot intervene with a woman's right to choose. That is it, plain and simple. Guess what. We are not going to be big brother or sister, as the case may be. We are going to allow a woman, her doctor, and her God to make that decision.
husband bed politician
[On going into politics:] My husband went to bed with Debbie Reynolds and he woke up with Eleanor Roosevelt.
home privacy life-is
Really, life is complicated enough without having a bunch of Senators deciding what we should do in the privacy of our own homes.
dream fighting thinking
I think Democrats are right. We fight for the American dream, for the environment, for privacy rights, a woman's right to choose, a good public education system.
independent voting vote
I am sure that every one of my colleagues - Democrat, Republican, and Independent - agrees with that statement. That in the voting booth, every one is equal.
people challenges earth
Perhaps, one of our greatest challenges as a nation, as a people, as human beings making sure that our grandkids can live on this Earth.
technology doctors world
We have the greatest hospitals, doctors, and medical technology in the world - we need to make them accessible to every American.
country thinking people
I think the scientists have really caught the attention of the people of this country, and of course, they elected representatives by their very clear pronouncement that if we don't do something, we'll be in a lot of trouble.
running giving people
I would not run for president. I really like what I'm doing now. People say I'm giving them energy and hope.
gratitude sacrifice hands
When service members are discharged, we should express our gratitude for their profound personal sacrifice, not hand them a bill for their hospital food.
people effort citizens
The combined efforts of millions of concerned citizens could do wonders to help the impoverished. The American people are ready for action!
