I'm just hoping to make myself better and work on some things. This will give me a chance to do that.

Every single minute matters, every single child matters, every single childhood matters.

I think the people will- who advocate having a step back and read those public opinion polls on the front page of the newspapers all over this country saying public supports restoration in restoration of the Everglades, protection of the parks and the creation of monuments.
