Speaks on the Issues
Government was intended to be our servant, not our master—and it belongs to us.
I believe we want and we need government that is once again representative of all that is decent and good in American life—fairness, compassion, progress and, above all, a responsiveness to and a concern for people.
Isn't it time somebody spoke for you!
