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.

Congress seems drugged and inert most of the time... its idea of meeting a problem is to hold hearings or, in extreme cases, to appoint a commission.

There is little place in the political scheme of things for an independent, creative personality, for a fighter. Anyone who takes that role must pay a price.

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

Don't list to those who say YOU CAN'T. Listen to the voice inside yourself that says, I CAN.

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

We have been so patient and loyal ... and what has it gotten us? We want our full share now.
