We will seek… to set up an automatic, obligatory system to redistribute asylum-seekers.
African-Americans assume I’m named after the notorious Soledad prison or Mount Soledad in California. Latinos want to know if I’m lonely.

My denial and irresponsible attitude about asthma put me at great risk and caused me so much needless suffering. My hope is that the kids I talk to learn to open up about their asthma, become educated about their condition, and seek help.

Finally, the ecological health of the Mississippi River and its economic importance to the many people that make their living or seek their recreation is based on a healthy river system.
We have a country to turn around. This week you will nominate the most experienced executive to seek the presidency in 60 years in Mitt Romney. He has no illusions about what makes America great, and he doesn’t confuse the presidency with celebrity, or loftiness with leadership.
He who has religion will speak poetry. But philosophy is the tool with which to seek and discover religion.

I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them.
People have to render judgment. In my case, I’ve said upfront openly, I’ve made mistakes at times. I’ve had to go to God for forgiveness. I’ve had to seek reconciliation. But I’m also a 68-year-old grandfather, and I think people have to measure who I am now and whether I’m a person they can trust.
I was warmly embraced by the Tea Party. They openly seek more minorities.
Society leaders have urged me to seek the presidency.

I don’t consider myself a ‘radical.’ Radical in American society has, I think, become this buzzword that makes a lot of ideas and discussions seem foreign or new to people – whether for or against them.
