Giving A Veteran A Flag Is Not

In My Lifetime, It's The Supreme Court, Not Congress, That Integrated Our Public Schools, That Allowed People Of Different Races To Marry, And Established The Principle That Our Government Should Respect The Value Of Privacy Of American Families. These Decisions Are The Legacy Of Justices Who Chose To Expand American Freedom.

It Is Unacceptable That Disabled Veterans In Illinois Rank At The Bottom Of The List When It Comes To Disability Pay. We Owe Our Disabled Veterans More Than Speeches, Parades And Monuments.

We Have 11 Million People In This Country That Need A Pathway To Citizenship.

We See It In Attempts On Capitol Hill To Impose Gag Rules On Rules On Doctors On What They Can Say To Their Patients About Family Planning. And We Certainly See It Now With An Effort By The Government To Tap Our Phones; Invade Our Medical Records, Credit Information, Library Records And The Most Sensitive Personal Information In The Name Of National Security.

And The Banks - Hard To Believe In A Time When We're Facing A Banking Crisis That Many Of The Banks Created - Are Still The Most Powerful Lobby On Capitol Hill. And They Frankly Own The Place.
