I have a hard time understanding how cutting the program in our country that provides healthcare to working families by $800 billion can be classified as mercy.

There is no mercy in a system that makes health care a luxury. There is no mercy in a country that turns their back on those most in need of protection: the elderly, the poor, the sick, and the suffering.

If you believe that the greatest challenge you've got is credibility, then the way you get that is you earn it, right? That's not something that any set of policy makers can bestow.

Compromise' isn't supposed to be a dirty word. It is, in fact, how representative democracy works.

Our family is fortunate to have a well-documented history in a book titled 'The Flores Family - 1725 to 1963' by James F. Padgett.

I want to be inspiring to myself, to my kids, my family, and my friends.

A family may be ruined by extravagance, but it is not always through ruin that the representatives in a family are to be found in humble or comparatively humble circumstances, but that the junior members of a gentle family went into trade.

It's wonderful to be part of a family that cares so much about others.
