I'm Gonna Say That I Have Followed

We Live In A Country Where We're Supposed To Have Freedom Of The Press And Religious Freedom, But I Think To Some Degree, There's A Sense Of Fear In America Today, That If You Say The Wrong Thing, What Some People Will Consider What Is Wrong, If You Step Out Of Line, If You Dissent, Whether You Be An Entertainer, That Somehow And Some Way This Government Or The Forces To Be Will Come Down On You.

I Was So Inspired By Dr. King That In 1956 With My Brothers And Sisters And First Cousins, I Was Only 16 Years Old, We Went Down To The Public Library Trying To Check Out Some Books And We Were Told By The Librarian That The Library Was For Whites Only And Not For Colors! It Was A Public Library! I Never Went Back To That Public Library Until July 5th, 1998, By This Time I'm In The Congress, For A Book Signing Of My Book "walking With The Wind"

What Sensible People Have Got To Do Is Not Simply Repeal The Affordable Care Act Without Any Alternative, But You've Got To Sit Down And Say It's Ok, What Are The Problems. How Do We Address It? How Do We Move To Universal Health Care? How Do We Lower Prescription Drug Costs? How Do We Make Sure That People Don't Have Outrageous Deductibles? You Just Don't Throw 20 Million People Off Of Health Insurance. You Don't Privatize Medicare.

We May Not Have Chosen The Time, But The Time Has Chosen Us.

When People Tell Me Nothing Has Changed, I Say Come Walk In My Shoes And I Will Show You Change.
