"We do not have to accept or tolerate such glaring disparities
in our society. We do not have to accept or tolerate bloated Pentagon
spending, unfair tax cuts, attacks on our civil liberties, and on
workers' rights to unionize. We don't have to accept or tolerate
our children dropping out of high school, college education unreachable
because tuition is so high, or our country steeped in debt."
- Cynthia McKinney, Green Party Presidential Candidate 2008
