• Ya es hora de eliminar la intolerancia en el lugar de trabajo y de garantizar la igualdad de oportunidades para todos los estadounidenses. Es hora de dejar claro que las lesbianas, gays, bisexuales y transexuales estadounidenses son ciudadanos de primera clase. Son miembros plenos y bienvenidos de nuestra familia estadounidense y merecen la misma protección de los derechos civiles que todos los demás estadounidenses. Es hora de que prohibamos la discriminación basada en la orientación sexual y la identidad de género. Esta discriminación es un error y no debe tolerarse.

Heritage Foundation political scientist Robert Rector has worked up figures showing that when the official U.S. measure of poverty was developed in 1963, a poor American family had an income twenty-nine times greater than the average per capita income in the rest of the world. An individual American could make more money than 93 percent of the other people on the planet and still be considered poor.

• The most important difference between these early American families and our own is that early families constituted economic unitsin which all members, from young children on up, played important productive roles within the household. The prosperity of the whole family depended on how well husband, wife, and children could manage and cultivate the land. Children were essential to this family enterprise from age six or so until their twenties, when they left home.

• Esa es una de las mayores pérdidas, creo, para las familias afroamericanas, es que la gente, una vez que se fueron, se alejaron del Sur. No miraron atrás, y a menudo no se lo contaron a sus hijos. No querían hablar de ello. Era demasiado doloroso, por lo que habían pasado y por el sistema de castas del Sur, que era Jim Crow.

• Family farmers are small farmers who love the land. They're still not getting enough money for their product and are rapidly losing their battle to stay in business. By helping the American family farmer, we will in turn help ourselves out of the economic hole that we find ourselves in today. It doesn't really matter how we got here; the point is, we have to dig our way out.
