[a] family with two kids that earns the minimum wage still lives below the poverty line. that's wrong. that's why, since the last time this congress raised the minimum wage, 19 states have chosen to bump theirs even higher. tonight, let's declare that in the wealthiest nation on earth, no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty, and raise the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour.
Kids Two Should Have
At the current $5.15 an hour, the federal minimum wage has become a poverty wage. a full-time worker with one child lives below the official poverty line.

Martin luther king challenged the conscience of my generation, and his words and his legacy continue to move generations to action today at home and around the world. his love and faith is alive in millions of americans who volunteer each day in soup kitchens or in schools, or who refused to ignore the suffering of millions they'd never met in far-away places when a tsunami brought unthinkable destruction. his vision and his passion is alive in churches and on campuses when millions stand up against the injustice of discrimination anywhere, or the indifference that leaves too many behind.

Now, why would my supporters be supporting somebody who doesn't want to raise the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour, a starvation wage, doesn't want to do that. why would anybody that supports me support a candidate like trump who wants to throw millions and millions of people off of health insurance? we need to guarantee health care to all people as a right, not throw millions of people off health insurance as trump wants to do.

Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. what previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.

Men are not suffering from the lack of good literature, good art, good theatre, good music, but from that which has made it impossible for these to become manifest. in short, they are suffering from the silent shameful conspiracy (the more shameful since it is unacknowledged) which has bound them together as enemies of art and artists.

For a heart without love is a song with no words and a tune to which no one is listening so your heart must give love and you'll find that you shine like rain on the leaves you'll be glistening.

I was at rutgers university, and that was a center for fluxus in a way. but it wasn't what i was interested in. all of it had an impact - as did happenings - because i could see that art was changing from expressionism, which i was doing at the time, or thought i was doing. but it wasn't the direction i really wanted to go.
