I hope they are moved by what they have witnessed in the way that the rest of this country has been moved. This is a test of democracy. I mean, I think a lot of people in this country are giving up on democracy. And if we fail to come together in the wake of last week, I think a lot more people will choose to give up on democracy." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
