To say America can have strong leadership without strong character is to say we can get water without the wet.

Education is a bipartisan issue that concern all communities of color and should be first, last and always about the student learning.

Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking. There are too many people who think that the only thing that's right is to get by, and the only thing that's wrong is to get caught.

I would caution all of us or I would remind all of us that any candidate that we support, they are going to be flawed.

We need to remember that politics is all about people, not programs. We shouldn't want to take the humanness out of the political arena.

We need to make sure that every child in America goes to a school every day that is safe, will teach them how to read and write, do arithmetic and gain the computer skills necessary to allow them to compete in the global marketplace. If we can get that through the public schools, fine. If we can't, I'm all for parental choice in education to allow that parent to take his/her/their child to a school that is safe and teaches them, even if it is a faith-based school!

Too many Americans live by Republican principles of faith, family, hope and opportunity, but vote for Democrats out of sheer habit.
