I'm in the kitchen and I'm not walking out.

Im sick and tired of politicians beating up on the IRS. We have the best and fairest tax-collection system in the world.

There were no weapons of mass destruction and Saddam Hussein was not involved in the September 11th attack.

I've been beat up pretty badly. Pretty badly. Yet at the end of the day, everyone says I'm doing a pretty good job.

We all have a large stake in preserving our democracy, but I maintain that those without power in our society, the black, the brown, the poor of all colors, have the largest stake not because we have the most to lose, but because we have worked the hardest, and given the most, for what we have achieved.

The promise of the American Dream requires that we are all provided an equal opportunity to participate in and contribute to our nation.

Of course things get stagnant; people get too used to their environment, but that's why I'm in my district every week, at meetings with my constituents.
