Shahid Khan

We need to enact comprehensive immigration reform, to bring people out of the shadows and empower them to more fully and freely participate in their communities and the economy. And we need to invest in our nation's deteriorating infrastructure - investments that would create jobs and benefit all sectors of the economy.

Tom Perez

If you touch the hearts of people you can get people's minds to change, but you have to show them the beauty of not aborting a life.

There are some communities that feel you shouldn't give them the publicity, because it's just going to make people curious. There are communities who feel we need to fight them tooth and nail.

They know I am not a dangerous person, they hold me as a hostage to discourage other people from possibly standing up to their valued system.

You see examples of this, at the Ruby Ridge massacre and the Waco massacre, where they killed all those children and group members.

Leonard Peltier

Champions get what they want because they know what they want. They have a vision that keeps them motivated and efficiently on track. They see it, feel it, and experience it in their minds and hearts. What is success for you? You won't get there without knowing what it feels and looks like.
