“Pick a leader who will keep jobs in your country by offering companies incentives to hire only within their borders, not one who allows corporations to outsource jobs for cheaper labor when there is a national employment crisis. Choose a leader who will invest in building bridges, not walls. Books, not weapons. Morality, not corruption. Intellectualism and wisdom, not ignorance. Stability, not fear and terror. Peace, not chaos. Love, not hate. Convergence, not segregation. Tolerance, not discrimination. Fairness, not hypocrisy. Substance, not superficiality. Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not secrecy. Justice, not lawlessness. Environmental improvement and preservation, not destruction. Truth, not lies.”
Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem

“Pick a leader who will make their citizens proud. One who will stir the hearts of the people, so that the sons and daughters of a given nation strive to emulate their leader's greatness. Only then will a nation be truly great, when a leader inspires and produces citizens worthy of becoming future leaders, honorable decision makers and peacemakers. And in these times, a great leader must be extremely brave. Their leadership must be steered only by their conscience, not a bribe.”

“People say that your life flashes before your eyes before you die, but they’re wrong. It’s not your life that passes before you, it’s the regrets that do.”
Heather Jacobs, We the People

“Because we live in a democracy, and the people can't govern themselves well if they don't know the truth about the world we live in. What if our rich citizens never hear of the poverty and suffering of the rest of the city? Why should they ever give to charity or vote for reform?”
Rosslyn Elliott, Lovelier Than Daylight

“If achieving world peace and ending poverty were really genuine concerns to the majority, then they would have happened already by now. So, either people are not aware of their collective power, or their fears overpower their desires. The amount of money spent on the military-industrial complex in one year is more than enough to end hunger in Africa. Every problem on earth today has more than one solution. However, priorities are determined by values.”

“We need our people and families to unite….to question with boldness without wavering and stand tall. After all, isn’t that what our Founding Fathers expected “We the people” to do?

“If we are going to get any real change, we need to elect honest, compassionate politicians with integrity, who truly care about all the people.”
Laurence Overmire, The One Idea That Saves The World: A Message of Hope in a Time of Crisis

“In short, we must emerge from this crisis in our republic with a new birth of freedom, rooted in the knowledge that we are so much more when the 'We' in 'We the people' is not some of us, but all of us. We are greater than, and greater for, the sum of us.”
Heather McGhee, The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together

Sonia Sanchez
“For we the people will always be arriving
a ceremony of thunder
waking up the earth
opening our eyes to human
monuments.
And it'll get better
it'll get better
if we the people work, organize, resist,
come together for peace, racial, social
and sexual justice
it'll get better
it'll get better.”
Sonia Sanchez, Shake Loose My Skin: New and Selected Poems

“census: (n.) being counted so we can be discounted.”
Sol Luckman, The Angel's Dictionary

Jose R. Coronado
“We the People have the power that becomes the power but the power abuses its power becoming tyrannical to its source of power.”
Jose R. Coronado, The Land Flowing With Milk And Honey

Jose R. Coronado
“The individual unit of society is the individual & We The People have that authority to be free! It's as if they truly take interest in our lives or family but in truth, all their interested in is the interest they levy n our heads. It;s all for monetary gains. It's a sale of who we are as if we are setting sail on waters like vassals in deep depths of laws oversea. Oh, the ingenuity of deceptive trickery. How could this all be meant to be? Following the mass of sheep isn't what's meant to me, so where is the light in darkness that'll enable me to see?”
Jose R. Coronado, The Land Flowing With Milk And Honey

“We are slaves to the pleasures the powerful allow us to have. That is if we're good dogs.”
A.K. Kuykendall

Aspen Matis
“I felt a thrill—a new civil affinity budding in my dreams and in the brick-and-mortar city, simultaneously: that we, the people, were awakening to the truth that a bundle of twigs is inconceivably strong.”
Aspen Matis, Your Blue Is Not My Blue: A Missing Person Memoir

“Liberty was fought with bullets, Blood was shed for independence, Sacrifices were made for freedom.”
D.L. Lewis

“We must stop asking incumbents who they are training to take their place. This question reinforces the belief that our votes do not count, which discourages people from voting. Public office seats belong to the public. Once an incumbent leaves, they can not give, appoint, or assign that seat to anyone because it is not theirs. Though they can train whomever they wish, ultimately, it is up to us, the people, to vote them in.”
Sabrina Newby

Sonia Sanchez
“It is essential that we always repeat:

“We, the people, should take more responsibility for doing things the hard, proper way instead of the easy, inaccurate way.”
