“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. When you accept the loony logic of some of
the left that there is no political value in supporting the lesser of
two evils, you open the door to the greater evil. 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.”

Paul Wellstone Remembered
thumb of some blue blood royal son / who stole the oval office and that phony
election / i mean / it don't take a weatherman / to look around and see the
weather / jeb said he'd deliver florida, folks / and boy did he ever / and
we hold these truths to be self evident: / #1, george w. bush is not president /
#2, america is not a true democracy / and #3, the media is not fooling me"

"You're about to be told one more time that you are America's most valuable
natural resource. Have you seen what they do to valuable natural resources?
Have you seen a strip mine? Have you seen a clear cut in the forest?
Have you seen a polluted river? Don't ever let them call you a valuable
natural resource. They're going to strip mine your soul. They're going
to clear cut your best thoughts for the sake of profit unless you learn to
resist, because the profit system follows the path of least resistance and
following the path of least resistance is what makes the river crooked."

"My silences had not protected me. Your silence will not protect you. But for
every real word spoken, for every attempt I had ever made to speak those truths
for which I am still seeking, I had made contact with other women while we examined
the words to fit a world in which we all believed, bridging our differences... We
can learn to work and speak when we are afraid in the same way we have learned
to work and speak when we are tired. For we have been socialized to respect
fear more than our own needs for language and definition, and while we wait in
silence for that final luxury of fearlessness, the weight of that silence will choke us."

"Stories make us more alive, more human, more courageous, more loving. Why
does anybody tell a story? It does indeed have something to do with faith,
faith that the universe has meaning, that our little human lives are not
irrelevent, that what we choose or say or do matters, matters cosmically."
