If We Don't Stand Up For Children,

This Act Will Leave A Moral Blot On His Presidency

I Wasn't Thinking About History. I Was Thinking About How We Were Going To End Segregation At Lunch Counters In Atlanta, Georgia.we Would Have Never Thought About Making History, We Just Thought: Here Is Our Chance To Get Out Our Sense Of Rejection At This Kind Of Racial Discrimination. I Don't Know That There Was A Time That Anybody Growing Up In The South Wasn't Enraged About Being Segregated And Being Discriminated Against.

It Was Very Clear To Me In 1965, In Mississippi, That, As A Lawyer, I Could Get People Into Schools, Desegregate The Schools, But If They Were Kicked Off The Plantations - And If They Didn't Have Food, Didn't Have Jobs, Didn't Have Health Care, Didn't Have The Means To Exercise Those Civil Rights, We Were Not Going To Have Success.

Together We Can And Must Fight For Justice For Our Children And Protect Them From Draconian Tax Cuts And Budget Choices That Threaten Their Survival, Education And Preparation For The Future. If They Are Not Ready For Tomorrow, Neither Is America.

Service Is What Life Is All About.
