Kids can't see us bombing, and then listen to us talking about getting guns out of the schools. How can we tell them to solve problems without violence, if, in fact, we can't show an ability to solve problems without violence?

It takes a variety of strategies and initiatives to address this pandemic. It's about life and death and the survival of humanity.

My goal is to help elect not only the first but second woman president. That will be real progress. I believe our next presidential election will see women at the top of the ticket for both parties.

I think that there’s going to be a rush to judgment on civil liberties, and a clamping down, a suspension of our democratic rights.

In fact, not only do I support eliminating soft money, but I support full public financing for campaigns.
