stars men thinking
Senator [George] Mitchell is a man of many talents and he's swift on his feet, but one would not think of him as 'dancing with the stars.' And we had this great rock 'n' roll fund raiser.
firsts said wanted
I always said that though I was the first, I wanted to be the first of many.
dream college nightmare
College is part of the American dream. It shouldnt be part of a financial nightmare for families
moving hero glasses
I would say George Mitchell was like Clark Kent sometimes with his horn rimmed glasses and his very quiet manner. People say, well, he's just a quiet leader, but then he emerges as super hero and begins to move this legislation. He led by example.
country hurt social
I am emphatically against the privatization of Social Security. It is going to hurt millions of American women, American families and ultimately the whole country
together arms social
There were times, though, when the women came together on a partisan basis. [When we stopped] the privatization of Social Security during George Bush, we linked arms.
people community stories
What I like best in Baltimore is the people, the neighborhoods and what goes on in the neighborhoods. Each has its own stories, own diners and own quirks. It's about community. I also like everything Old Bay.
heart doctors womens-health
Nancy [Kassebaum] and I worked on a women's health agenda when I first came. Women were not included in the protocols at NIH, the famous study, 'take an aspirin a day, keep the doctor, you know, a heart attack away.' It was done on ten thousand male medical students.
party blue white
When it comes to standing up for veterans, we cannot be the Republicans and Democrats, we have to be the red, white, and blue party.
two together legends
Look how Bill Cohen and George Mitchell worked together. It's the stuff of legends. And now it's the stuff of almost ancient history, regrettably, but the way those two really worked together.
creating society democratic
Let us get on with creating the democratic and pluralistic society that we say we are.
college careers community
Community colleges are one of Americas great social inventions a gateway to the future for first time students looking for an affordable college education, and for mid-career students looking to get ahead in the workplace.
dream badass issues
We work on macro issues and macaroni and cheese issues. When women are in the halls of power, our national debate reflects the needs and dreams of American families.
differences mind together
Each one of us can make a difference. Together we make change.
