On the recordMay 7, 1997
Now, what we have had is, we have had people lose their lives in California. When is it going to stop? What we are talking about here is human life. We are talking about human rights. In many cases, these folks who are thinking maybe somewhere in the cosmos up there that perhaps these bugs and beetles and snails are more important. I frankly do not understand how someone can think like that. What we are talking about here today is we are either standing with us for human rights and human life or we are standing with the bugs and the slugs and the scrubs. Get real.
