Listen, were losing so much manufacturing, all over the United States.

I just find Bobby Kennedy's short campaign for president so inspiring because his rhetoric identified what America can be like if we care about each other.

Millions of working, uninsured Americans go to bed every night worrying what will happen to them and their families if a major illness or injury strikes.

I've been on enough sports teams in my life to have experienced the magic of what can happen when a group of people care for and love each other.

It is hard to look at the amount of damage in the two states and say it's equal, but the time to fight that battle is gone. Without Louisiana and Mississippi working together, Louisiana might have gotten a lot less than that. That's just the reality of politics.

While the political debate over abortion will continue for a very long time, the federal government can and should be doing more to support programs and services that provide women with better options.

I am a firm believer in the mission of the health centers, which offer cost-effective comprehensive primary and preventive services to at-risk people.

We were told that all this new high technology, all these new high-tech jobs that we were going to be creating here in the United States of America would stay here, so our people would benefit with the jobs and health care and everything else.

Obviously, I have certain policy positions that I push and advocate for that would benefit people dealing in a system that breeds inequality and makes life more difficult for people.

And I believe that if we can care about whether or not our neighbor has a good job or access to affordable health care for their children, and we move to implement the policies that can improve these situations, we will unleash vast amounts of human potential and recapture the American spirit.

We need to fund No Child Left Behind. We need to start at the beginning and we are not doing the job here in the United States of America.
