You have a right to protest. But I don't quite understand why anybody thinks it's a good idea to deny somebody else the right to express his or her point of view.

I did work with John McCain. I did work with Jeff Miller over in the House. And we put together not the bill that I wanted, but probably the most comprehensive V.A. health care bill in the modern history of this country.

We don`t need to drive up the national debt by giving tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires.

Most people that I know don believe that a handful of corporations request sit together without disclosure, by the way, and pump hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars into the political process. That is not the democracy that many of us believe America should be.

The middle class is collapsing and we are moving toward an oligarchic form of society, where the billionaires will control the economy and the political life of the country.

When I was a young boy, I can remember in the community that I grew up in, seeing people in the community who had numbers that were on their arms.

The United States must join the rest of the industrialized world, guarantee health care to all people as a right.
