The only way to change is to vote. People are responsible. -- Paul Wellstone When too many Americans don't vote or participate, some see apathy and despair. I see disappointment and even outrage. And I believe that out of this frustration can come hope and action. -- Paul Wellstone “There are three critical ingredients to democratic renewal and progressive change in America: good public policy, grassroots organizing and electoral politics.” -- Paul Wellstone

And political parties, overanxious for vote catching, become tolerant to intolerant groups. -- Wendell Wilkie

* Politics: “Poli” a Latin word meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures". -- Robin Williams

The uses of government should be to foster, protect and promote the possession of equality. -- Victoria Woodhull The women of the country have the power in their own hands, in spite of the law and the government being altogether of the male order. -- Victoria Woodhull

A free America... means just this: individual freedom for all, rich or poor, or else this system of government we call democracy is only an expedient to enslave man to the machine and make him like it. -- Frank Lloyd Wright

Government can't completely take care of people by making a bunch of promises and programs. Organize your communities -- Neil Young

* "We need to rethink our position in the world. We need to stop sending weapons to countries that oppress other people. We need to decide that we will not go to war, whatever reason is conjured up by the politicians or the media, because war in our time is always indiscriminate, a war against innocents, a war against children. War is terrorism, magnified a hundred times." -- Howard Zinn
