If you don't believe this election is important, if you think you can sit it out, take a moment to think about the Supreme Court justices that Donald Trump would nominate and what that would mean to civil liberties, equal rights, and the future of our country.

I believe in a relatively equal society, supported by institutions that limit extremes of wealth and poverty. I believe in democracy, civil liberties, and the rule of law. That makes me a liberal, and I’m proud of it.

The equal right of all citizens to health, education, work, food, security, culture, science, and well being - that is, the same rights we proclaimed when we began our struggle, in addition to those which emerge from our dreams of justice and quality for all inhabitants of our world - is what I wish for all.
