Democracy Is Not A Spectator Sport.

You're Not Obligated To Win. You're Obligated To Keep Trying To Do The Best You Can Every Day.

When I Started Out As An Activist, The Issues Were Much Clearer. There's Advantage To The New Media, But On The Other Hand, You Miss The Ability To Frame An Issue That You Had When There Were Just Three Tv Networks: Cbs, Nbc, And Abc. So The Whole World Could See The Same Police Dogs. The Same Bull Connor And His White Tank. Now You've Got Narrow-casting. The Media Is All Fragmented. It's So Hard To Get People To Focus In A Sustained Way.

In My Generation, We Learned How To Be Leaders By Being Exposed To And Involved With Adults Who Empowered Us And Gave Us A Sense That We Could Choose Things. We've Let Down The Generations Coming Behind Us And We Are Trying To Re- Establish That Connection.

We're A Violent Nation, And We Need To Confront It. This Gun Plague Has To Stop.

In Every Seed Of Good There Is Always A Piece Of Bad.
