It's just like an update deal.
Francisco CostaActivism spawned by Sanders campaign is beginning to make inroads into electoral politics. Under Barack Obama, the Democratic Party pretty much collapsed at the crucial local and state levels, but it can be rebuilt and turned into a progressive force.

Daniel SimonEach year, members of Canadaโs Ukrainian community, Parliamentarians and others commemorate the Holodomor at gatherings across the country. In doing so, we honour the memory of those who perished and the legacy of those who survived, including many who found refuge in Canada.

That is why this national tour, which will reach Canadians of all ages and backgrounds, is an important initiative

That will be his greatest legacy.

Julius PeppersI want people to know that LeCrae the person is a Christian. Just because you put a tag on me or my music that doesn't make me or the music more or less of a Christian. I'd hope the legacy that I'd leave that people say... No, he's not a Christian because he said he was or because his stuff was labeled that. He's a Christian because he lived it! And when you know him and you know his life this is someone whose life is marked by Jesus.
LeCraeNo, itโs very comforting actually, to know that youโre sitting in a long legacy of actresses whoโve played the role. Iโm absolutely all for absorbing all of those influences, so you understand the pedigree of the part as much as you understand the figure in historyโฆ because you are playing the part. You donโt say: โGosh, I want to play Peter Sellersโฆโ because you can sort of do that in your own bathroom.
