I Have Never Seen . . .

Government Is Not The Problem, And Government Is Not The Solution. We - The American People - We Are The Solution.

We Cannot Become The World's Policeman, But Where Our Values And Our Interests Are At Stake, And Where We Can Make A Difference, We Must Act And We Must Lead. That Is Our Job And We Are Better, Stronger And Safer Because We Are Doing It.

So We, Democrats, Have A Responsibility There, Every One Of Us, Both To Try To Treat The Republicans With Respect And As Human Beings To Try To Work With Them On Every Issue We Can, And Then If Those Cannons Are Fired At Us, We've Got To Stand Up And Fight Back. If You Lay Down And You Look Like A Deer Caught In The Headlights, Then You Will Confirm The Assault. And So We Have To Fight Back.

We Have Seen A Man Dragged To Death In Texas Simply Because He Was Black. A Young Man Murdered In Wyoming Simply Because He Was Gay. In The Last Year Alone, We've Seen The Shootings Of African Americans, Asian Americans, And Jewish Children Simply Because Of Who They Were. This Is Not The American Way. We Must Draw The Line. Without Delay, We Must Pass The Hate Crimes Prevention Act And The Employment Non-discrimination Act. And We Should Reauthorize The Violence Against Women Act.

I Am In Support Of The Nra Position On Gun Control.
