I think the world would be a lot better off if more people were to define themselves in terms of their own standards and values and not what other people said or thought about them.

You know no one will ever accuse me as having the same policies as George W. Bush.

I would like to save lives. Now you know, the gun lobby will say, "You can't stop everybody." And I would agree with that: You can't stop everybody.

I'll lift up the good work that is happening and hold officers or departments that engage in unconstitutional policing accountable.

We have to make our economy work for everyone - not just those at the top - protecting our country and protecting our planet.
