Our representative democracy is not working because the Congress that is supposed to represent the voters does not respond to their needs. I believe the chief reason for this is that it is ruled by a small group of old men.

Some members of Congress are among the best actors in the world.

In the end anti-black, anti-female, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing: anti-humanism.

At present, our country needs women's idealism and determination, perhaps more in politics than anywhere else.

The emotional, sexual, and psychological stereotyping of females begins when the doctor says, 'It's a girl.'

It is not heroin or cocaine that makes one an addict, it is the need to escape from a harsh reality. There are more television addicts, more baseball and football addicts, more movie addicts, and certainly more alcohol addicts in this country than there are narcotics addicts.

Most Americans have never seen the ignorance, degradation, hunger, sickness, and futility in which many other Americans live...They won't become involved in economic or political change until something brings the seriousness of the situation home to them.
