I didn't volunteer; they asked me. I felt a duty to testify.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I just gotta keep reminding myself: Every time I do an interview or something, my volition really has to be just to serve, to help people. Not to feel like I'm important.
Testifying has helped me understand that one individual's behavior and actions make a difference. That my actions are important to people other than myself.
I've always sensed for myself an obligation to bear witness to my time.
There's nothing like volunteers who believe in a candidate and a cause.
You know I took an oath to tell the truth when I took the witness stand.
When you were a volunteer for the Bush-Cheney campaign, you came in the morning; you had a supervisor who gave you a list of calls to make and a time to do it in.
I became the Dalai Lama not on a volunteer basis.
For God is my witness that I neither preached, affirmed, nor defended them, though they say that I did.
And they asked me to take a polygraph as to the allegations and reports I'd made. I volunteered and I took the polygraph and passed it without a glitch.
I answered their questions truthfully and honestly, but I would prefer not to say more. I assume the information was routed back and that is why I was not called to testify.
