I sure hope he's on the ballot again since he'd get my vote!

I know that it can seem like the shamelessness and the ruthlessness of the people in charge gives them a big advantage, but they have a massive disadvantage as well, which is that many of them know that what they're part of is wrong.

And the sooner they feel like they might have to answer for it one day, the sooner this house of cards will fall

We don't have much time to lose, so for God's sake, let's keep it up.

Men who would do Good must do as they are allowed.”
Pete is clearly a "Man Who Would Do Good”.
More of this please.
