That's what's wrong with the country. There are too many 'good soldiers' accepting too many bad decisions.

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

I am not antiwhite, because I understand that white people, like black ones, are victims of a racist society. They are products of their time and place.

As things are now, no one can tell to whom members of Congress are responsible, except that it does not often appear to be to the people. Everyone else is represented in Washington by a rich and powerful lobby, it seems. But there is no lobby for the people.

I love America not for what she is, but for what she can become.

Some fine men are in Congress, too few, trying to do a responsible job. But they are surrounded and almost neutralized by a greater number whose instinct is to make a deal before they make a decision.
