Interestingly, a lot of the polling that I see is not along racial lines, but along generational lines. We are doing better and better among younger people, not so well among older people, whether they're African-American, whether they're white or whether they're Latino.

Let us wage a moral and political war against war itself, so that we can cut military spending and use that money for human needs.

The reality is we that have a corrupt campaign finance system which separates the American people's needs and desires from what Congress is doing. So to my mind, what we have got to do is wage a political revolution where millions of people have given up on the political process, stand up and fight back, demand the government that represents us and not just a handful of campaign contribution - contributors.

Who do you think controls the Republican Party? Big money controls the Republican Party. This is where their campaign contributions come from.

Politics in a democratic society should not be treated like a baseball game, a game show or a soap opera. The times are too serious for that.

Education should be a right, not a privilege. We need a revolution in the way that the United States funds higher education.

What you don't see on television is people dying today because they can't get to a doctor and they can't afford prescription drugs. That's why they are also dying. They are dying in Iraq because they are poor and they have gone into the military because they can't afford to go to college. They're dying because they're living in communities where asthma rates are extremely high because the air is filthy. The suffering of the poor and working class people is a virtual nonissue for the media. But that is the reality.
