I believe in keeping guns out of our inner cities, and that our leaders must say so in the face of the gun manfuacturer's lobby. But I also believe that when a gangbanger shoots indiscriminately into a crowd because he feels someone disrespected him, we have a problem of morality. Not only do we need to punish that man for his crime, but we need to acknowledge that there's a hole in his heart, one that government programs alone may not be able to repair.

Young men need to show women the respect they deserve and recognize sexual assault and to do their part to stop it.

We want our children to live in an America that isn't burdened by debt, that isn't weakened by inequality, that isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet.

We as a country have to do some soul-searching.

I do think that all politicians today have to be more attentive to people wanting to be heard, wanting to have more control over their lives.

I've now been in 57 states. I think one left to go.

Never give up on your dreams.
