Coastal waters are too precious to drill for oil.

Humans have an impact on climate change. I am done with that.

Thank you to all of you for being here today and for the work you are doing to help take care of the health of our tribes.

Where I come from, effort doesn't count.

They don't have to change votes to win; they just have to sow lack of confidence.

All of the patches aren't going to work if we don't have a strategy of deterrence.
