My political instincts can be summed up as follows:

  • Socially Progressive
  • Fiscally Responsible
  • Environmentally Conscious

Some favorite quotes:

  • "I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something. I will not refuse to do the something I can do." ~~ Helen Keller

  • "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." ~~ Edmund Burke

  • "Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less." ~~ Marie Curie

  • "Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty." ~~ Thomas Jefferson

  • "Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education." ~~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

  • "Cautious, careful people, always casting about to preserve their reputation or social standing never can bring about reform. Those who are really in earnest are willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathies with despised ideas, and bear the consequences." ~~ Susan B. Anthony
