I am here to organize. I am here to be political. I am here to be a citizen in a pluralist democracy. . . . When you don't act, you act. When you don't vote, you vote.

That's what happens when you despair, you open the door to evil. . . . Evil is happy refusing funds to American clinics overseas that counsel abortion, and evil is happy drilling for oil in Alaska; evil is happy pinching pennies while 40 million people worldwide suffer and perish from AIDS.
