Certainly I think the election of John Kennedy and all he stood for was one that really was an inspiration.

You know I don't think we need the Republicans to steal family values from us.

I had the good fortune to be able to right an injustice that I thought was being heaped on young people by lowering the voting age, where you had young people that were old enough to die in Vietnam but not old enough to vote for their members of Congress that sent them there.

I think we have a number of young people - like yourself - who want to make a difference. Im not sure the numbers are as large because I think the burden of getting elected to public office at the national level has become astronomically expensive.

You shouldn't have to sue somebody to get justice. It ought to come through administrative process.

But if you really want to get involved in making a difference, you can stay at home with your family and have a job and make a reasonable living without having to be on an airplane all of the time, then you ought to go back home and run for School Board.
