I think George Mitchell believed in promoting women.

I thought in this country, the best social program was a job. Yet minimum wage jobs arent paying enough to keep families out of poverty

When it comes to standing up for veterans, we cannot be the Republicans and Democrats, we have to be the red, white, and blue party.

When you're up in Maine, there is Canada, I mean it's looking right at you; it's a different viewpoint.

We’re going to foment our own revolution. So I say to the women out there in America, let’s keep this fight going! Put on your lipstick, square your shoulders, suit up, and let’s fight for a new American revolution where women are paid equal pay for equal work, and let’s end wage discrimination in this century once and for all!

People had so much respect for George Mitchell. They wanted to cooperate with him. I think that's a hallmark of a very good leader.

I would say that in some ways George Mitchell is kind of an old fashioned guy, in terms of these basic values, but he was a very modern person, encouraging, he was not only accepting but he was actually encouraging.
