Love and trust and justice, concern for the poor, that's being pushed to the margins, and you can see it.

We want to bear witness today that we know the relation between corporate greed and what goes on too often in the Supreme Court decisions.

We need to put strong Democratic pressure on President Obama in the name of poor and working people.

Larry Summers, I think, he had a long history of arrogance and relative ignorance about poor people's culture and working people's culture and so forth.

We will not allow this day of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial to go without somebody going to jail.

We have a market-driven society so obsessed with buying and selling and obsessed with power and pleasure and property.

It's impossible to translate Wall Street greed into one or two demands.

I'm not saying that President Obama should be exempt from criticism, nor do I believe it is some act of racial treason for a black person to hold our president accountable for his actions.

The problem is we need much more moral content.

Hey, you got something going here. I think we've got a chance for some progressive policy that actually focuses on poor and working people.
