And you've gotta have targeted expenditures, great ads running against your opponent in those swing states." — Rush Limbaugh

Now your celebrities don't have to do anything, they're just voted in. And that shocks me. — Marco Pirroni
A cooperative enterprise is the key alternative to a traditional capitalist enterprise.

One person, one vote should decide how these things are done. — Richard D. Wolff

We wield an enormous influence over the world through how we choose to vote and what we choose to buy. Again, it's the power of numbers.

If most people refuse to buy products from companies that, for example, wrap products in more plastic than necessary, pretty soon the plastic wrapping will stop. — Anthony D. Barnosky
Americans cannot escape a certain responsibility for what is done in our name around the world. In a democracy, even one as corrupted as ours, ultimate authority rests with the people.

I think women want to take care of themselves, and I think having a voice in how that is done is very important. And frankly, I don’t understand — I mean, I’m obviously a card-carrying Democrat — but I can’t understand why any woman would want to vote for Mitt Romney, except maybe Mrs. Romney. — Madeleine Albright
Barack Obama has done more than anyone else to promote the dangerous illusion that we can choose whether to have a war or not. But our enemies have already made that choice.
