Before You Speak To Me About Your

Our Platform Calls For A Balanced Deficit Reduction Plan Where The Wealthy Pay Their Fair Share. And When Your Country Is In A Costly War, With Our Soldiers Sacrificing Abroad And Our Nation Facing A Debt Crisis At Home, Being Asked To Pay Your Fair Share Isn't Class Warfare - It's Patriotism.

We Started America With The Sin Of Slavery That Led Right Into The Post-reconstruction Period Which Was The Greatest Period Of Domestic Terrorism In Our Country's History. Then After That, We Had Jim Crow Emerge And Just When The Jim Crow Laws Were Ending Came The Onslaught Of The Drug War. Well, The Drug War Has So Perniciously Effected, Insidiously Infected Communities Of Color That In Some Ways It Has Come Full Circle, And We Now Have More African Americans Under Criminal Supervision Than All Of The Slaves In 1865. This Is A Profoundly Unjust War.

Don't Speak To Me About Your Religion; First Show It To Me In How You Treat Other People. Don't Tell Me How Much You Love Your God; Show Me In How Much You Love All God's Children. Don't Preach To Me Your Passion For Your Faith; Teach Me Through Your Compassion For Your Neighbors. In The End, I'm Not As Interested In What You Have To Tell Or Sell As I Am In How You Choose To Live And Give.

Never Let Your Soul Be Silenced. Live Life Out Loud. Every Day Tell Your Truth Not With Words But With Actions From Your Heart.

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.'
