We really had something good. A future to look forward to.

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

“We have to face the fact that we have a lot of people who come out of school burdened with student loans and decide they can’t go into teaching, so we lose a lot of good young people.”

"We are a country where people of all backgrounds, all nations of origin, all languages, all religions, all races, can make a home. America was built by immigrants."

"Dignity does not come from avenging insults, especially from violence that can never be justified. It comes from taking responsibility and advancing our common humanity."

"It is often when night looks darkest, it is often before the fever breaks that one senses the gathering momentum for change, when one feels that resurrection of hope in the midst of despair and apathy."

"I think the world would be a lot better off if more people were to define themselves in terms of their own standards and values and not what other people said or thought about them."

It's just that they're a little further away than they were.........First we have to get rid of Trump and all his minions before we can get back on track.

It won't be easy.........but it IS doable.
