QUOTES

There can be no better measure of our governance than the way we treat our children, and no greater failing on our part than to allow them to be subjected to violence, abuse or exploitation. Parliamentarians have the power to alleviate the suffering of millions of children around the world, if only they would use it.

So, for all of us Americans, the majority now, who don’t share this administration’s scorched earth brand of politics, who don’t share their vision of a new America and their policies of shame, we must remain vigilant, and we will not be deterred, because what it comes down to is a question of conscience. And that question is deeply patriotic. And we must hold them accountable and make sure words like “peace” and “freedom” and “compassion” retain their original and essential meaning and not become taglines used by them to justify more atrocities, more killings. When I hear his empty words with phrases like “armies of compassion” or “culture of responsibility,” I understand how deep their mendacity runs. They are a lie, and they call us wrong.

we must remain hopeful that for our children and our children’s children, that we are not a warring nation, but we will embrace and practice true compassion and honor the ideals of peace and freedom, and we will not give up.

On Democratic Republic Of Congo
Of the women and children who survive the stunning brutality, the physical, emotional and psychological damage will last a lifetime. The world must stop the horror and help the survivors.

On War Against Iraq
It is an immoral war that they are beginning and we must not be silenced. We have to be able to stand up and say no.

Americans are a moral people and that requires that we do not let our government lie to us about the righteousness of our cause.
