Turn it right on your Senators and Representatives.”

Republics and limited monarchies derive their strength and vigor from a popular examination into the action of the magistrates.”

“The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.”

“America is today the hope of all honorable men who respect the rights of their fellow men and who believe in the principle of freedom and justice.”

“When you see something that is not right, not fair, not just, you have to speak up. You have to say something; you have to do something.”

“We have to find a way to make the aspects of capitalism that serve wealthier people serve poorer people as well.”
