"We have a responsibility to always press for the growth of civil society."

"When George Marshall and Harry Truman put the Marshall Plan in place, the country was overwhelmingly against it."

"We stand for optimism and opportunity and equality. And we stand in opposition to all those who would replace hope with hate."

"the politics could be very, very difficult absent a shift here that becomes more inclusive, more democratic, more respectful of the opposition and so forth."
