I must be doing something right. I was raised to stand up to the bully in the schoolyard, and you don't lose that.

I would love to see a march on Washington that says 'Save our Social Security'

To win the cause we all believe in, the spread of true democracy all over the world, we need to win by example, not just with speeches but by example; not just with military might but by gaining the respect of the world.

There's a huge difference in the attitude of the people of the United States of America toward women in politics. It has taken an enormous turn toward equality.

Every American at some point has got to make the connection between their own hopes and dreams and who is elected to office. It's essential. It's very easy to pull the covers up over your head and say, "I can't handle it. Too much." But we just have to handle it and we have to accept that it's our job. Each of us. Nobody is going to take care of it.

I think being prepared for anything is the way to go.

I am sure that every one of my colleagues "Democrat, Republican, and Independent" agrees with that statement. That in the voting booth, every one is equal.
