“Our Founding Fathers would shudder to see how easily forces outside the mainstream now seem to effortlessly push some Senate leaders toward conduct the American people don't want from their elected leaders: Abusing power. Inserting the government into our private lives. Injecting religion into debates about public policy. Jumping through hoops to ingratiate themselves to their party’s base, while step by step, day by day, real problems that keep American families up at night fall by the wayside here in Washington.”
Senator John Kerry
“Our children are our greatest resource. Our public policy must reflect our values. That means not just passing legislation to Leave No Child Behind, but funding those programs. Words must be backed by deeds to make sure all America's children - black and white, Latino and Asian have an equal chance to succeed.”
Barbara Mikulski
“Everything that Bush touches turns to manure in public policy.”
Alec Baldwin
“Universality has been severely reduced: it is virtually dead as a concept in most areas of public policy.”

“I'm at a point in my life where I very much want to continue to work on public policy, on measures that we can adopt to improve life for all the citizens in the province. But I'm also at a point in my life where I want to do that without the demands of being in politics.”
