I believe that it is my right and responsibility as an American to question our government when our government is wrong.
I wake up every day feeling like today's the day to make a difference. I never question the correctness of what I'm doing or the need for it.
I'm working class, my family was working class, and we have struggled the same way our neighbors here in San Francisco have struggled.
Loyalty to the true, core values and roots of democracy is what makes a true patriot, not loyalty to a symbol of the country.
I never go anywhere and encourage people to get married to someone of the same gender or to have abortions - the issue never comes up.

It's pretty obvious what's been happening since August. It's miraculous. The American people were on board. Now it seems like more of our leadership are getting on board.
