The Change We Seek For Our Nation

Don't Let Your Inability To Do Everything Undermine Your Determination To Do Something.

You Need To Understand Something, You Drink Deeply From Wells Of Freedom And Liberty And Opportunity That You Did Not Dig. You Eat Lavishly From Banquet Tables Prepared For You By Your Ancestors. You Sit Under The Shade Of Trees That You Did Not Plant Or Cultivate Or Care For. You Have A Choice In Life, You Can Just Sit Back, Getting Fat, Dumb, And Happy, Consuming All The Blessings Put Before You, Or It Can Metabolize Inside Of You, Become Fuel To Get You Into The Fight, To Make This Democracy Real, To Make It True To Its Words That We Can Be A Nation Of Liberty And Justice For All.

We Should Not Be Scrimping On Investments In Public Safety. The Lack Of Infrastructure Spending Is Costing Us Lives In America. It's Costing Every Commuter.

People Who Think I'm Gay, Some Part Of Me Thinks It's Wonderful. Because I Want To Challenge People On Their Homophobia. I Love Seeing On Twitter When Someone Says I'm Gay, And I Say, 'so What Does It Matter If I Am? So Be It. I Hope You Are Not Voting For Me Because You Are Making The Presumption That I'm Straight.'

I Sit In The Senate, And See What Republicans Are Often Advocating, It's Those Kind Of Tax Loopholes For The Richest Of The Rich Or, Frankly, For Corporations And Giving Incentives For Them To Move Jobs And Opportunity Overseas.
