Quote

I support the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act.

When community action was put into federal law in the early sixties as part of the effort to combat poverty and social injustice, I supported it intellectually.

I believe I have a personal responsibility to make a positive impact on society.

My passion is to create a better society for our future citizens.

My goal as a citizen is to do what I can to help the causes that I personally believe in.

I helped to restore America's leadership.

I was raised to believe that we all have a civic duty and a responsibility as Americans to improve our neighborhoods and our nation.

I introduced the Transparency in Government Act, a multi-faceted transparency bill that would bring unprecedented access and accountability to the federal government.

I will support legislation that benefits the American worker and prevents the outsourcing of American jobs.

I think that the best that government can do for you and I as individuals is to empower you and I to make decisions that only you and I should make.
