Family and moral values are so central to everything that I am.

Children cannot eat rhetoric and they cannot be sheltered by commissions. I don't want to see another commission that studies the needs of kids. We need to help them.

The Declaration of Independence was always our vision of who we wanted to be, our ideal of freedom and justice, how we were going to be different, and what the American experiment was going to be about.

There are levels of outrage, and there's a point at which you can't be trespassed upon anymore.

We're a violent nation, and we need to confront it. This gun plague has to stop.

Children must have at least one person who believes in them. It could be a counselor, a teacher, a preacher, a friend. It could be you. You never know when a little love, a little support will plant a small seed of hope.

Don't be afraid of hard work.
