My parents are very hard working people who did everything they could for their children. I have two brothers and they worked dog hard to give us an education and provide us with the most comfortable life possible. My dad provided for his family daily. So, yes, that is definitely in my DNA. ↗

To say that any people are not fit for freedom, is to make poverty their choice, and to say they had rather be loaded with taxes than not. ↗

I see a New York where people who are down on their luck can get back on the road to responsibility, a job and dignity. ↗

It is not a field of a few acres of ground, but a cause, that we are defending, and whether we defeat the enemy in one battle, or by degrees, the consequences will be the same. ↗
