Quote

I stand for freedom of expression, doing what you believe in, and going after your dreams.

I stand for anti-bigotry, anti-Semitism, and anti-racism.

I fight, and have fought, for political freedom, for justice and for fairness and freedom of speech.

Growing up in a very rural and remote area in Colorado's San Luis Valley - one of the poorest counties in the United States - essentially created the framework of values from which I operate. I stand up for the little guy. I fight discrimination at all levels. I fight for an inclusive America.

It's not what my job is about. I'm not out to make a political statement. I want to stand for something, but more by example.

So I will stand more steadfastly for the things I stand up for, like people who work for a living. I'd like to be able to stand that way when I go to Congress.

I want to work on respecting individuals' dignity. Equal rights, that's where my heart is. That means equal rights and benefits, and that's what we need.

I'm a very individualistic person. That is why I don't belong to any political party or anything. I really believe in justice and freedom.

I am passionate about human rights.

I stand for limited government, fiscal responsibility, personal freedom, personal responsibility, so the Republican Party will support me.
