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.

We all need to get out of our safety zones too. In addition to voting, we need to embarrass people who don't do the right thing. It's going to take citizen action.

The crisis of children having children has been eclipsed by the greater crisis of children killing children.

If we don't stand up for children, then we don't stand for much.
