There Is No Such Thing As A

I Fully Support President Bush's Decision To Strike Al Qaeda's Terrorist Network. Now More Than Ever, We Must Stand United As A Nation And Support Our President And Our Military. It Is Important To Remember That This Carefully Targeted Response Is Not An Attack On A Religion, Nor A Nation, But An Attack On Terrorism. In Congress, We Will Continue To Work With The White House To Do What's Needed To Bring Justice To Those Who Committed The Heinous And Evil Attacks Of September 11.

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.

It Is Long Past Time To Eliminate Bigotry In The Workplace And To Ensure Equal Opportunity For All Americans. It Is Time To Make Clear That Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, And Transgender Americans Are First Class Citizens. They Are Full And Welcome Members Of Our American Family And They Deserve The Same Civil Rights Protections As All Other Americans. It Is Time For Us To Prohibit Discrimination Based On Sexual Orientation And Gender Identity. Such Discrimination Is Wrong And Should Not Be Tolerated.

When Those Pictures Of Abu Ghraib Came Out, I Thought, My Gosh, This Is Like The Tiger Cages For Prisoners In Vietnam All Over Again. Only We Were Actually Doing It Ourselves, We Weren't Hiring Another Government To Do It.
