I want to fight poverty and ignorance and give opportunity to those people who are locked out.

I'm willing to fight for Social Security, Medicare, student loans, U.S. jobs, equal pay, progressive taxation and full employment.

I want to be fighting for a society accountable towards its citizens.

War can be avoided, and it ought to be avoided. I want no war.

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

I want to fix education in the world. As soon as I work on that, I am going to work on world hunger and then world peace.

We are unnecessarily wasting our precious resources in wars... if we must wage war, we have to do it on unemployment, disease, poverty, and backwardness.

I want us to be able to fight ideologically, mentally, spiritually, economically, so that we don't have to do it physically.

Let us wage a moral and political war against the billionaires and corporate leaders, on Wall Street and elsewhere, whose policies and greed are destroying the middle class of America.
