Political Quotes

“I had an opportunity during the convention to visit your State and your district. The most impressive thing that I saw during that convention, during my week stay in Illinois, was the fact that young people came together. The refurbished a school in Chicago, Area Academy, which as a matter of fact you had a lot to do with that. Because of your insistence and because of your commitment to schools, we were able to get young people together to go, as the gentlewoman knows, and paint and clean and scrub bathrooms and just refurbish the Area Academy. Now that school is open to first through third graders. I think they started school today or yesterday. And that was because of the work, the sweat of young people. Just to see young people doing that, and feeling good about it as a project, and you see the little kids in first through third grades just sitting there coloring, making nice little signs... If more people across America just took the time to take a little time to go into schools and refurbish them, repaint them, you just should have seen the smiles on those kids' faces.”
