The way we argue can be as important, in the long run, as the decisions we reach.
When there were issues upon which we could not agree, we could at least use common courtesy in the way we conducted our politics.
The House demonstrated to the world that it was truly a deliberative and democratic body.
I want to make the world a better place for my children, their children, and their children's children.
