It’s about advancing the cause of peace and justice in our country and the world. Politics is about doing well for the people."― Paul Wellstone "To be misunderstood can be the writer’s punishment for having disturbed the reader’s peace. The greater the disturbance, the greater the possibility of misunderstanding."― Anatole Broyard "Peace and abstinence from European interferences are our objects, and so will continue while the present order of things in America remain uninterrupted."― Thomas Jefferson
