The Bush Administration calls President Chavez a threat. I agree- he is a threat. A threat to poverty, illiteracy and injustice.
The poor were just left to fend for themselves.
The President also talked at length about how well the American economy is doing. Apparently, he got his information on this topic from his millionaire supporters. For the average working family, these are trying economic times.
In a country with an overabundance of food, no one should go hungry because of a lack of funds or technical and professional knowledge. We have the food, and we have the networks; we now need to support the providers.
Iraq continues to be an immense disaster, and the President has no apparent plan for getting our troops out.
Chavez went to the poorest congressional district in the nation's richest city, and people on the street there just went crazy. A lot of people told me they were really mesmerized by him. He made quite an impression.
I applaud the hard work of all the people at Presbyterian Senior Services and West Side Federation for Senior and Supportive Housing involved in putting this program together, ... The creative thinking and dedication shown by PSS and WSFSSH is truly transforming lives and helping to make the Bronx a better place.
If he was to walk a mile up the road, he wouldn't be able to find his way home.
They killed children. They killed innocent people and destroyed poor people's houses, ... It's the world's most discredited guerrilla movement.
The issue is going to come up on the floor of the House,
Salaries haven't kept up with inflation, and there is such anger coming out of Washington about immigrants that I think it has curtailed the ability of local folks here to hire immigrants, .. I really believe it starts from the top, and the policy continues to be one of ignoring people at the bottom, cutting taxes for those on the top and spending a lot of money for a war built on lies.
The people who have recently come to this country to work and better their lives should be given the same opportunities that our parents, grandparents, and ancestors were given.
Under the leadership of this President, the state of the union is not strong. We are being pulled apart rather than pulling together. Our democracy is suffering from the choices being made, and yet we are offered the same tired excuses and unrealistic analyses.
Our nation's anti-hunger programs need to be strengthened.
