Gay rights are human rights.

Americans need a champion and I want to be that champion.

You have to be true to yourself.

It should never be a crime to be gay.

I’m running for president because everyday Americans and their families need a champion, and I want to be that champion. I want to make the words middle class mean something again.

Democracy in India is only a top-dressing on an Indian soil which is essentially undemocratic.

Democracy is not a form of government, but a form of social organisation.

Democracy cannot consist solely of elections that are nearly always fictitious and managed by rich landowners and professional politicians.

On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.
