I always said that though I was the first, I wanted to be the first of many.
America is not a melting pot. It is a sizzling cauldron.
I’m so proud of Maryland’s firefighters, risking their lives to protect others, but we need to protect our protectors with the best equipment training and resources.
George Mitchell was a very good leader, and we were more than satisfied with his leadership. And I know the guys were jealous.
We, the women of the Senate, with President Obama by our side, will keep fighting – our shoulders square, our lipstick on – because you deserve equal pay for your hard work.
You cant get more for less. You get what you pay for.

Politics is social work with power.
I thought in this country, the best social program was a job. Yet minimum wage jobs arent paying enough to keep families out of poverty.

Women would be disproportionately affected by the privatization of social security. It is one of the most important safety nets for American women in old age, or in times of disability, to insure financial income for their families.
The world must know that America holds to the highest standards of military conduct and human rights protections. Anything less is unacceptable.
When we stand up for America, we stand up for what America stands for, which is a safety net for our seniors and really helping our families be able to help themselves.

I think leadership is creating a state of mind in others.
People aren’t for hitting.
Let us get on with creating the democratic and pluralistic society that we say we are.
We must be careful that the people who make $5,000 a year are not pitted against those that make $25,000 a year by those who make $900,000.
I think, though, with that whole sense of integrity and a lot of things that have been going on, the shared leadership rather than the titular head.
