I believe that when you provide information to people, they become less fearful and they will engage more in their democracy if they are empowered with information.

This is the crux of the problem: because the Republicans and the right wing have been successful in almost eliminating unions, everyone else has suffered as a result.

I'm going to guess Republicans and Democrats, liberals and conservatives, all want clean air to breathe and clean water to drink. I'm sure most people think women should be paid the same as men if they're doing the same job. I think we all want good schools for our kids. If we made that list, we actually are in agreement on more things.

Wall Street, the banks, and corporate America, has been able to call the shots here. They control our members of Congress and they get what they want.

Clearly I am a person who suffers from a lack of ego.
