We Have To Be Realistic About What

There's An Effort On The Part Of Many People To Attack Women's Rights, Women's Health, And The Ability To Control Our Own Lives. No Doubt About It. And It Is Not A Majority Of The Country, In Any Way, Shape, Or Form. I Know On The Contraceptive Issue, 70 Percent Of The Country Agrees With Me. Will That Stop My Opponents? No. Because They Are So Radical. They Chip Away And Chip Away.

So When You Go Up Against The Far Right You Go Up Against The Big Financial Special Interests Like The Halliburtons Of The World, The Big Oil Companies, The Big Energy Companies Who Work So Hard To Rip Us Off.

I've Been There For So Many Crossroads In American History. My Whole Political Life Spans The Birth Of The Environmental Movement, The Women's Movement, The Civil Rights Movement, Putting An End To Unjust Wars, And So And So.

When John Kennedy Was Assassinated I Was Twenty-three, A Stockbroker On Wall Street And Married, And I Never Ever Thought That Politics Would Be Anything That I Would Be A Part Of. But I Realized That I Had To Get Involved. Then, When Martin Luther King Was Assassinated And The Vietnam War Was Raging, I Felt That My World Was Falling Apart. I Had These Two Beautiful Children - Three And One - And I Just Said, "i Have To Make It Better."

I'm A Very Big Believer In Collaboration And Teamwork.
