We keep waiting for the American people to wake up, and they keep hitting the snooze bar. But something, folks, someday, will wake them up. Of that I'm confident.

People are so busy dreaming the American Dream, fantasizing about what they could be or have a right to be, that they're all asleep at the switch. Consequently we are living in the Age of Human Error.

We have the American people properly concerned about the future of our country and the world.

We are living on the brink of the apocalypse, but the world is asleep.

Thinking about the heartbreaking number of young children around the world who think they are unwanted and are uncared for can easily keep you awake at night.

Sometimes, America, when something's too bad, we don't want to look at it. We want to turn our head.

I go to bed at night worrying that I didn't do enough that day to make sure I protect the American people.

America slept because most Americans preferred it that way.

What we have, however, is an issue that has tremendous impact here at home, and we believe that Americans are starting to feel vulnerable, not just from what is going on around the world but right here in the United States.

There is a fundamental situation in which the country has reached rock bottom, that a mother can't send her children out of the house in the morning. The country has reached rock bottom and this needs to be changed.
