Amen and Hallelujah!!

“My politics are informed by a belief that we’re all connected. That if there’s a child on the South Side of Chicago that can’t read, that makes a difference in my life even if it’s not my own child. If there’s a senior citizen in downstate Illinois that’s struggling to pay for their medicine and having to chose between medicine and the rent, that makes my life poorer even if it’s not my grandparent. … I am my brother’s keeper, I am my sister’s keeper, we are all children of God.”

— Barack Obama, to me, March 2004
