More quotes by Barbara Boxer
I think being prepared for anything is the way to go.
Barbara Boxer
The Violence Against Women Act protects the lives of tens of thousands of domestic violence victims. But the U.S. must also support gender equality around the world, and that means acknowledging that some nations we consider to be our friends are no friends to women.
Barbara Boxer
To win the cause we all believe in, the spread of true democracy all over the world, we need to win by example, not just with speeches but by example not just with military might but by gaining the respect of the world.
Barbara Boxer
The point is that what we want, Democrats, and what we've always wanted, is to make abortion safe, legal, and rare.
Barbara Boxer
Our message will be that we're going to make federal government buildings a model - an energy-efficient model - and also start matching grants for cities and counties so that they can also do the same with their government buildings.
Barbara Boxer
If it's racist, it's racist. If it's anti-Semitic, it's anti-Semitic. If it's anti-women, it's anti-women. If it's anti-immigrant, it's anti-immigrant, and we need to really strengthen our language, so that it is clear and not mushy.
Barbara Boxer
Perhaps, one of our greatest challenges as a nation, as a people, as human beings making sure that our grandkids can live on this Earth.
Barbara Boxer
I take great solace in the fact that Donald Trump lost the popular vote. Hillary Clinton got over 2.5 million more votes than Donald Trump got. So I can't say in any way that the people think that harassing women is appropriate. So I don't think we should read into his victory the fact that, you know, women's rights are going to be diminished.
Barbara Boxer
Even if I have to stand alone, I will not be afraid to stand alone. I'm going to fight for you. I'm going to fight for what's right. I'm going to fight to hold people accountable
Barbara Boxer
You have to be an optimist to be in politics.
Barbara Boxer
If I can make a generalization, men get into politics because, from the time they're little boys, they've been wanting to be President.
Barbara Boxer
The day you realize you're a grownup is the day you realize that you have to do something. When we're kids, we don't have to do anything. Then all of a sudden you realize, if I want this to be better, I've got to do something.
Barbara Boxer
When you take a stand out of deep conviction, people know. They may not even agree, but they ask, 'Do I want someone who is willing to take a hard stand and someone I can trust to do that when the chips are down?' They want that.
Barbara Boxer
I am sure that every one of my colleagues Democrat, Republican, and Independent agrees with that statement. That in the voting booth, every one is equal.
Barbara Boxer
Tonight, you are hearing from the Democratic women of the Senate... We stand together on so many issues: economic prosperity, quality education for all, protecting a woman's right to choose
Barbara Boxer
I think Democrats are right. We fight for the American dream, for the environment, for privacy rights, a woman's right to choose, a good public education system.
Barbara Boxer
If you don't move to protect copyright, if you don't move to protect our children, it's not going to sit well
Barbara Boxer
The American people need to know the truth. The American people need to see the truth. In a democracy, letting the people know the truth is the essence of what it means to be free.
Barbara Boxer
There has to a certain responsibility, whether it's TV news, online news, to sort out opinion from fact.
Barbara Boxer
I'm hopeful that the energy efficiency and public buildings bill will have their endorsement.
Barbara Boxer
