SAD STORY - MONSANTO CAUSING FARMERS TO LOSE THEIR LAND IN INDIA
Besides my activist parents - especially my mother – my heroes are all those who work hard to protect our planet and those in need - the "Everyday Heroes" who do good works but go unnoticed. DENNIS KUCINICH is a true hero who stands up for the people of this country. He is also smart and actually READS the bills he votes on! Michael Moore is a national treasure and I appreciate the work he did to take on the insurance industry and their powerful and rich lobby. I hope Americans will TAKE ACTION to force our elected officials to represent the people and not the profits of the private insurance companies any longer.

If you want real welfare reform, you focus on a good education, good health care, and a good job. If you want to reduce poverty, you focus on a good education, good health care, and a good job. If you want a stable middle class, you focus on a good education, good health care, and a good job. If you want to have citizens who can participate in democracy, you focus on a good education, good health care, and a good job. And if you want to end the violence, you could build a million new prisons and you could fill them up, but you never end this cycle of violence unless you invest in the health and the skill and the intellect and the character of our children… you focus on a good education, good health care and a good job.
And other than that, I don't feel strongly about anything.
-US Senator Paul Wellstone, D-Minnesota, 7.21.44 to 10.25.02
"..if by a liberal they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people - their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties.. if that is what they mean by a "liberal" then I am proud to be a liberal."

President, USA 1960 - 1963
Poverty is a threat to peace. The frustrations, hostility and anger generated by abject poverty cannot sustain peace in any society in the world. -- Muhammad Yunus, Bangladeshi economist at 2006 Nobel Peace Prize awards ceremony.
I am an old woman now. The buffaloes and black tail deer are gone, and our Insian ways are almost gone. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that I ever lived them.
My little son grew up in the white man's school. He can read books, and he owns cattle and has a farm. He is a leader among our Hidatsa people, helping teach them to follow the white man's road.
He is kind to me. We no longer live in an earth lodge, but in a house with chimney's, and my son's wife cooks by a stove.
But for me, I cannot forget our old ways.
Often in Summer I rise at daybreak and steal out to the corn fields, and as I hoe the corn I sing to it, as we did when I was young. No one cares for our corn songs now.
Sometimes in the evening I sit, looking out on the big Missouri. The sun sets, and dusk steals out over the water. In the shadows I seem again to see our Indian village, with smoke curling upward from the earth lodges, and in the river's roar I hear the yells of the warriors, and the laughter of the little children as of old.
It is but an old woman's dream. Then I see but shadows and hear only the roar of the river, and tears come into my eyes. Our Indian life, I know, is gone forever.
