When You Talk About Heroines

I Don't Consider Myself A Pariah.

This Is A Very Important Issue That The Corporate Media Chooses Not To Talk About A Whole Lot, That We Have An Economic System Which Is Rigged, Which Means That At The Same Time As The Middle Class Of This Country Is Disappearing, Almost All Of The New Income And Wealth In America Is Going To The Top 1 Percent. You Have The Top One-tenth Of 1 Percent Owning Almost As Much Wealth As The Bottom 90 Percent - 58 Percent Of All New Income Is Going To The Top 1 Percent.

I Think We Are Making Progress, But We Have Long Way To Go. People Also Have Got To Understand The Agenda That We Are Fighting For. This Is A Senator Who Has Taken On Every Powerful Special Interest, Whether It's Wall Street, Whether It's Drug Companies Who Are Ripping Off The American People, The Military Industrial Complex.

If People Envisage Me In The Senate They Might Think Of Me As Someone Who Would Emulate Paul Wellstone, Fighting For The Issues He Fought For. He Was A Good Friend Of Mine. We'll Be Trying To Do A Couple Of Things. One Is Fighting For National Health Care. Another Is Fighting To Raise The Minimum Wage To A Living Wage, And Changing Our Trade Policies.

I Voted Against The War In Iraq. I Voted Against The First Gulf War. I Think War Is The Last Resort - The Last Option Of A Great Military Power Like Us. I Think That We Need To Focus On Building Coalitions. Yes, Isis Must Be Destroyed. But It Should Be Destroyed By A Coalition Of Muslim Nations On The Ground With The Support Of The United States And The Other Major Powers In The Air And In Training The Troops There.
