The truth is that we have got to make America work for working people again.

How are we all going to pitch in to fix this party to make working America know that the Democratic party is absolutely on their side? That's the real question.

I study these bills. I read them carefully. If it makes sense, I'll sign on them. If not, I don't.

Anybody that's ever been to Israel and to Palestine knows that you can't look at a person and tell if they're Israeli or Palestinian. You can assume. But I've seen Palestinians who look Swedish, and I've seen Israelis who are black.

All I'd like to say is that I am a patriotic, loyal American. I love my country and the values that it stands for. And I am a Muslim.

We must invest in and empower our state and local parties by creating effective field operations, an enhanced and advanced voter file, and a culture of collaboration between candidates at every level. Let's put the voters first.

When voters know what Democrats stand for, we can improve the lives of all Americans, no matter their race, religion or sexual orientation.

I try to live tolerance in my own way, which is why, as a politician, one of my key priorities is to stand up for human rights.

People will politicize religion; we see it in every faith, in every religion. We see it with Pat Robertson, in my opinion, and we see it with the Taliban.

You approach faith with humility. You can have some idea, but it boils down to do you see religion as a club, or do you see religion as a path? Do you see it as a wall that separates you or do you see it as a bridge that connects you to God and other people? When you see it as a bridge, you aren't so worried about bringing others over to your side.
