I would like to say to Sen. Ashcroft, if he is confirmed I wish him the very best,

simply let Sen. Ashcroft speak for himself.

I wish my friends at William Morris Endeavor all the best.

The first task in teaching is to bring to consciousness what the students already believe by virtue of their personal experiences about themselves and society.

It is the belief that extremes and excesses of inequality must be reduced so that each person is free to fully develop his or her full potential. This is why we take precious time out of our lives and give it to politics.

Politics is not predictions and politics is not observations. Politics is what we do. Politics is what we do, politics is what we create, by what we work for, by what we hope for and what we dare to imagine.
