We applaud those in Congress who have refused to let drilling proponents manipulate them and the democratic process.

We strongly urge Senators from both the Democratic and Republican Party to pass AB 1207 and then for Governor Schwarzenegger to sign it into law.

This legislation will ensure that voters know whether a particular candidate's moral values include running a morally ethical campaign.

In retrospect, we can now connect the dots and see what Julius was talking about when he could only practice with us that year.

Eric Dazey

We've used it almost every day, we've used the turf a ton. It's been invaluable for us. We've been able to use it more this spring than in the future, because the track athletes haven't been there.

John Marshall

We're going to talk to the voters about the issues Colorado cares about.

Jake Brace

We're going to resolve as many of these issues as we possibly can,

Les Dorr

Scott Walker

We've always had the rallying cry of, 'Hey, nobody out there thinks we can do it,' and that was fun. We've never really had a star player, and there's never really been a case of 'So-and-so didn't produce and that's why we're losing.' So it might take a little adjustment, but I think we're definitely a lot better team with him.

Odell Thurman

When we were coming into the (scouting) combine, they asked who was the best back you played against, and I said (Williams) the whole time. He's going to be great. You look at him, and you might not think he's all that strong. But he's a power runner. It's the style he plays.

Kyle Whittingham

When we went to 12 games, everybody kind of went into panic mode because scheduling a game is not quite as easy as you might think. Usually, these games are scheduled five, six, seven years in advance.

Alan Jackson

I don't like politics, hypocrites, folks with poodles...

Ron Brown

We've appointed a committee to look at our needs. We post the meetings and the public is welcome to come and voice their opinion. The public is always welcome. We need to find enough property where we can build as we need. We'll get it done.

Dan Bailey

We're going to try and make it a one-stop social services fair,

Kent Beck

We could talk, act, and dress funny. We were excused for socially inappropriate behavior: 'Oh, he's a programmer'. It was all because we knew this technology stuff that other people found completely mystifying.

Katie Featherston

I have a lot of good people in my actual life, but I will say that it's a strange time that we live in - it's easy to make friends and to make connections through social media, and if you're a good-hearted person, sometimes you can just assume people are who they say they are, and that isn't always the case, which is why 'Catfish' is successful.

Kathy Bates

Jack made it very comfortable for me on the set. We'd met socially before but never worked together. You know, he's very professional, very disciplined and he's always prepared and knows his lines.

Lou Dobbs

We would want to allow imports of food at chap prices and other things that would take care of social problems, Fischer said in an appearance on CNN's

Peter Hall

We find in most of Western countries slow economic growth, which means that jobs are being created slowly and that generous social benefits systems developed in the 1960s and 1970s are often unaffordable. So in one way or another, all of these countries face this problem.

Erik Larsen

We brought the girl to social workers, ... I don't know what happened after that.

What's Jerry Kilgore doing? Standing on the stage with somebody who wants to take your Social Security,

To move online security to the next level, there has to be fundamental resolve among consumers, government and business to quickly adopt a system where the individual has more control over how information about them is managed and shared. Our aim is to construct an open and widely accessible software framework that puts the individual at the centre of the identity management universe. With this framework in place, it will be easier for society to begin the migration to more secure online environments, where trusted networks can not only be easily formed, but effectively enforced. For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.

What we're seeing right now is a new generation of teenagers, that as society changes, they're more comfortable in coming out. A lot of them are getting more support from their families.

Mike Doherty

What they've done here is incredible. They kept the Frank Lloyd Wright facade. And they kept a great number of guest rooms the same. They redid everything, of course, but when they built hotels in 1956 they built big guest rooms. They kept the concrete block and just put in the new retro stuff. Even when I was here the historical society was constantly visiting, wanting to know what we were doing and wanting to make sure we kept the place intact.

Vic Toews

What they say to me is that it is wrong that these individuals who have broken their obligations to society are now entitled to have the same voice in society.

What has become clear is that if society wants to avoid future disasters, it should do two things ? prevent even greater disruption to the climate system and prepare for the climate changes already set in motion. There is urgency on both fronts, reducing emissions and preparing to adapt.

Brenda Davis

When I talk to Mark I have to constantly remind myself that he's just 13. And the Clearly family truly needs this blessing.

I'm not super nostalgic for friendships I've lost along the way. I feel like, if they were truly meaningful and really special, they would still exist. I think we grow and change, and that's okay.

Katie Aselton

What I get really excited about are movies that I connect with emotionally. 'Deliverance' was on TV, and they don't really make movies like that anymore, just simple and scary. The truly scary thing is, 'I'm going to threaten your life, I'm going to threaten the people you love. What are you going to do about it?'

Elaine Elliott

Kevin Drew

When we handed this record in, it confused a lot of people, even within the band. That's what I love about it -- I just find it this big, beautiful mess. Sometimes, albums should be experiments, and people who truly understand us know that's all we were doing from the get-go.

Jay Feaster

What has happened in the past is truly ancient history. Now the objective is to come in here and have a solid training camp. ... We can't afford to get caught up in the hype. It's about having to do it again. You can't rely on what you did 18 months ago.

Jillian Messenger

We are getting better ever game. The other coaches are telling us that, the umpires are telling us that, that we're coming around and we truly are.

Erin Delaney

We've basically been playing a similar offense, we run the same offense. The purpose of the junior varsity is to work together. It's not about wins, it's about getting better.

Katie Montgomery

We've barely had enough to go five-on-five, but we're ready to be aggressive and do whatever it takes to win. We've beaten tough teams this season. We know how to double-team and help each other out. We just have to be focused and work hard.

William Daley

We've asked the lawyers to work overnight to draft some documents, and we'll be back in the morning.

David Snowden

We've always worked well within DoD guidelines and of course will continue to do so. We support the directive and all regulations that would protect military members from unscrupulous business practices.

David Mandelbrot

We've always worked directly with the owners of content to make that content available. In our experience, that has not slowed us down too much, and it has helped us to build strong relationships that have helped us in other parts of our business.

Anthony Dragona

We've always worked cooperatively with the department, and we're only asking for cost of living increases.

Frank Williams

Juli Inkster

We've always got a good field here, and the course and the facilities are great. We've all enjoyed the experience here. I think it's great that they're trying to work it out to stay.

Aleksey Igudesman

We've always dreamt of a TV series and working in film. When we first sat down to seriously write 'A Little Nightmare Music,' to write something for TV was our original inspiration. But all the stuff we were writing down is not going to work on stage. We had to rewrite it so it would work on the stage.
