Quote

I ask you to find your voice and use it not only to choose your elected officials but to shape the issues that will shape our lives.

I want to serve my country, but not necessarily in the political arena.

As a citizen, you need to know how to be a part of it, how to express yourself - and not just by voting.

I represent poor people, I represent working people. I represent senior citizens. I represent family businesses. I represent people who don't have the wherewithal to hire overpriced Washington lobbyists and lawyers. I want to send the powers back to the states and the people.

I want to represent Canada so I can represent my mother.

I want to be a representative and be a role model for the Asian American community.

Governments are not representative. They have their own power, serving segments of the population that are dominant and rich.

Know which officials are voted into office and which are appointed, and by whom.

I live in a city and a state and a country where I support my elected representatives.

The voters of the country decide who they want to support, and the delegates are elected to also make a determination of who would be in the best interest of the party and the country to be our nominee.
