I think in order to have a ban on soft money, we have to ban it not on just the Federal level but on the State level for Federal elections. And I think we cannot leave the current loophole of sham issue ads being allowed to continue when they are truly campaign ads. We need to make them campaign ads. They need to follow the campaign rules in order to eliminate that extraordinary loophole. We do have to continue to move forward with reform.
Discussing campaign finance reform and the need to address soft money and issue ads.

We need to engage the world community, particularly Russia, to persuade Assad to give up his chemical weapons.
I believe President Obama can rise to the occasion, seize this opportunity, avoid the use of military force and help restore our Nation's leadership.
What are we hoping to achieve in Syria, and why do we think doing what we are planning on doing will give us the results we want?
Twenty thousand shells in Russia, chemical weapons, no bigger than this, they were put in, they almost looked like wine bottles stacked up, building after building.
