Democracy is always a work in progress, including ours.
We believe we're all children of God.
Our position hasn't changed.
The decision they made to block good legislation has made it harder for us to protect you, the American people.
I appreciate your tireless work to help solve some of the real humanitarian crises that we face.
I appreciate very much your desire to help the poor and feed the hungry.
We want to know what they're saying.
The American citizens must understand—clearly understand that there is still a threat on the homeland.
The solution is well within grasp.
This young democracy is beginning to gain confidence and make progress.
By blocking this piece of legislation, our country is more in danger of an attack.
