What I saw in Baltimore was distressing and it tells me we need stronger policies in this country.

A nation will not survive morally or economically when so few have so much and so many have so little.

Educating all of our children must be one of our most urgent priorities. We all know that education, more than anything else, improves our chances of building better lives.

You know, life is what you make of it- so beautiful or so what.
