Our only real hope for democracy is that we get the money out of politics entirely and establish a system of publicly funded elections.

Let the people decide whom to vote for, who has more authority. And only people, only our citizens, are able to place the final emphasis, voting for this or that person or political force, or rejecting it. That's democracy.

I don't want a lot of bureaucracy... I want to run state government the same way we run a campaign - efficient, effective and victorious.

We ought to have more people who believe in constitutionally limited government. We have to have more people come to Congress with that mindset. I think we can make this a better place, if, when elections happen, we support candidates who share that philosophy.

The purpose cannot be creating self-styled democracies, but rather encouraging steps that are conducive to establishing democratic rule at universal standards. Obviously, this would be a formidable journey.

Every democracy is constructed day-to-day. And the electoral process reduces and minimalizes every single aspect of human complexity. We're putting it into pamphlets. We're doing a publicity show. We're becoming symbols.

I want to make democracy work not only for the rich and the well connected but for everyone.

So long as we have enough people in this country willing to fight for their rights, we'll be called a democracy.

Everybody is looking for an election where they can do something and participate.

Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.
