"Do not call for black power or green power. Call for brain power." ― Barbara Jordan Topic(s): Equality More From Barbara Jordan "We have a positive vision of the future founded on the belief that the gap between the promise and reality of America can one day be finally closed. We believe that." "We must not become the new puritans and reject our society. We must address and master the future together. It can be done if we restore the belief that we share a sense of national community, that we share a common national endeavor. It can be done." "A government is invigorated when each of us is willing to participate in shaping the future of this nation."

To me, those are traditional values."― Ellen DeGeneres "From a viable economy to the full funding of Headstart, from a clean environment to true equality for women, from a strong military to a commitment to racial brotherhood, from schools that are honored to streets free of excessive violence."― Paul Tsongas
