We're looking at catastrophic impacts in our lifetime, not only that every month now we're setting a new World Almanac record.

That was like the moment of revelation for me that in fact we are not the lunatic fringe.

We need to have real science, and real science doesn't happen under the hand of lobbyists with a conflict of interest. So get the revolving door done and over with and get the big money out of politics.

The recent AP poll that came out last month said that approximately 90% of the American people felt that the two-party system was failing us in the presidential election.

Is there's always an idea that the party will continue the movement but that movement always dies inside the Democratic Party.

We've got a lot of down-ballot candidates that are also being lifted up by this campaign [for Presidency in 2016]. If we don't take a stand at some point and begin to stand our ground, we are never going to begin to move forward. We've got to do that.

This is very dangerous for us, as a society, and I think people deserve a politics of integrity that is not bought and paid for by big banks, fossil fuel giants, war profiteers, insurance companies, the things that those two corporate parties both represent and which pull the strings inside the party.
