I do believe that we should have to - make the voters first; not the donors first.
I'm particularly good at turnout. So in my district, I had the lowest voter turnout in 2006.
What I find most appalling is the Senate calls it a qualified blind trust when it's not blind. Since the Senate says it's OK, the Senate has made it a political question. It's up to the voter. But there's no doubt it's a conflict of interest.
The voter problems and voter suppression, in some ways they're the same thing, but in some ways they're not, because the suppression is evil.
Historically, when times are bad, voters, especially in the Industrial Midwest, have turned to the Democrats.
I don't think anyone is closer to the voters in Washington than members of the House of Representatives.
In 2008, the Democrats made a great effort among African-American voters, and they did increase their turnout considerably, and among Latino voters.
I project that this next election - the 2016 election - if it is about anything thematically, it is going to be about that sense of rage and displacement among white working-class voters.
My start in politics was watching my parents go to the polls on election day. It reminded me that being an active, engaged citizen and voter is critical to the success of our democracy.
President Bush remained undeterred by the massive display of American opposition, even though much of it came from the hundreds of thousands of voters who supported him by voting for Nader.
Throughout his life, General Wesley Clark has stood up to some tough opponents. He battled the Viet Cong, and went toe-to-toe with Slobodan Milosevic. But today the retired four-star general capitulated to the fiercest enemy he's ever confronted: the American voter.
The voters in my district, and around the country, have demanded that Congress get a hold on the influx of illegal immigrants and tighten the security around our borders.
For a person [like John Lewis] that is a champion of voter rights to question whether or not Donald Trump legitimately won an election or not is an incredible position to take five days before an inauguration.
THERE'S NO MONKEY BUSINESS ABOUT THIS ELECTION,' he told the voters. 'IF YOU'RE ENOUGH OF AN ASSHOLE TO VOTE FOR NIXON, YOUR DUMB VOTE WILL BE COUNTED––JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE!
The Catholic hierarchy has become more conservative. What we don't know is whether [Catholic voters] will become increasingly conservative, or .. stay swing voters.
I just think, you know, when we talk about a politician, I think a person has to be themselves. Let the voters see the real you.
Well look, I don't begrudge anybody in the voters and their views.
Why should the Democratic and Republican parties be in charge of the debates, especially at a time when the largest block of voters has repudiated the Democratic and Republican parties? Why are they still in charge?
We the voters demand the right to be in charge here, to be informed, to be empowered.
We need a nonpartisan debate commission that actually allows candidates, who are on the ballot in enough states that they could win the election - voters not only have a right to vote, we have a right to know who we can vote for.
Even the voters behind Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, for the most part, do not support them, but actually are mostly afraid of the other candidate.
Voters, I think, in many ways, have begun to really reject the system.
At least the politicians are accountable to the voters.
Voters are saying "I like this guy [Donald Trump]. He just might shake this place up."
Candidates are making lasting impressions on voters, not just primary voters, in how they campaign.
