I Don't Know If There's Any Secret

You [the Gallaudet Students] Have Brought The Deaf Community Together.... You Are My Heroes.

Let's Face It, In America Today We Don't Have A Health Care System, We Have A Sick Care System. We Wait Until People Become Obese, Develop Chronic Diseases, Or Become Disabled - And Then We Spend Untold Hundreds Of Billions Annually To Try To Make Them Better.

I Think The American People Said, Look, You Know, We Can't Control What Every Government Does To Its People, But We Shouldn't Be Aiding And Assisting A Government In Having These Kinds Of Repressive Prisons. It Added To The Public Outcry Against Our Involvement In Vietnam.

It's Been Years, But I Still Say That I Went Out With The Same Progressive Values And Liberal Ideals That I Went In With. I Made A Couple Of Mistakes, I Will Honestly Admit. In Retrospect, There Are A Few Votes I Wish I Could Take Back. But, Through It All, I Kept My Support For Organized Labor, I Kept My Support For Income Equality, I Kept My Support For Making Sure That Kids That Come From Poor Families Have Access To Education. So, Yes, I Still Believe That You Don't Have To Give Up Your Ideals And Go Along. One Person Can Still Stand Up And Make A Difference.

The Burning Issue Of Our Time Is The Growing Inequality In Income And Wealth In Our Country, And It's Got To Be Addressed. We've Got To Stop It. It's Eroding Our Politics. It's Separating Our Society Into The Haves And The Have-nots. It's Condemning A Whole Younger Set Of Our Population To Not Be Able To Enter The Middle Class. And, It Hits Hardest In The Prairie Areas Of The United States, Our Small Towns And Communities, Where The Jobs Just Aren't Available And The Incomes Are Low.
