We All Do Better When We Work

We Are A People Of Faith. We Have Been So Secure In That Faith That We Have Enshrined In Our Constitution Protection For People Who Profess No Faith. And Good For Us For Doing So. That Is What The First Amendment Is All About.

I Want To Build A Bridge To The 21st Century That Ends The Permanent Underclass, That Lifts Up The Poor And Ends Their Isolation, Their Exile, And They Are Not Forgotten Anymore.

Global Poverty Is A Powder Keg That Could Be Ignited By Our Indifference.

We Have Seen A Man Dragged To Death In Texas Simply Because He Was Black. A Young Man Murdered In Wyoming Simply Because He Was Gay. In The Last Year Alone, We've Seen The Shootings Of African Americans, Asian Americans, And Jewish Children Simply Because Of Who They Were. This Is Not The American Way. We Must Draw The Line. Without Delay, We Must Pass The Hate Crimes Prevention Act And The Employment Non-discrimination Act. And We Should Reauthorize The Violence Against Women Act.

You Should Have Disagreements With Your Leaders And Your Colleagues, But If It Becomes Immediately A Question Of Questioning People's Motives, And If Immediately You Decide That Somebody Who Sees A Whole New Situation Differently Than You Must Be A Bad Person And Somehow Twisted Inside, We Are Not Going To Get Very Far In Forming A More Perfect Union.
