I took an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, and I'm concerned that voting for this [anti-terrorism] legislation fundamentally violates that oath.

The main problem of America is that you're seeing people working all over this country two jobs, they're working three jobs, and they're getting nowhere in a hurry. They're working hard. They can't afford to send their kids to college in many instances. They can't afford child care for their little babies. They're worried to death about retirement.

The problems we face, did not come down from the heavens. They are made, they are made by bad human decisions, and good human decisions can change them.

We live in a country where a small number of people have incredible wealth and power. America has more income and wealth inequality than any other major country.

What kind of nation are we when we give tax breaks to billionaires, but we can't take care of the elderly and the children.

Message to the billionaire class: You can't have it all!

We're going to stand with working people. We're going to take on the billionaire class. We're going the take on the drug companies and the insurance companies. We're going the take on Wall Street. That's where I think the future of the Democratic Party lies.
