“Growing up in a very rural and remote area in Colorado's San Luis Valley - one of the poorest counties in the United States - essentially created the framework of values from which I operate. I stand up for the little guy. I fight discrimination at all levels. I fight for an inclusive America.” LittlesStatesAmericaGuyValuesFightingLevelsUnitedUnited StatesGrowing UpGrowingAreasDiscriminationValleysFrameworkCountyPoorestColorado Author:Ken Salazar
“In the treatment of poverty nationally, one fact stands out: there are twice as many white poor as Negro poor in the United States.

“The only way to escape misrepresentation is never to commit oneself to any critical judgement that makes an impact - that is, never to say anything. I still, however think that the best way to promote profitable discussion is to be as clear as possible with oneself about what one sees and judges, to try and establish the essential discriminations in the given field of interest, and to state them as clearly as one can (for disagreement, if necessary).” IfsThinkingWayTryingStillsStatesGivenInterestClearFieldsJudgingEssentialsImpactOneselfCriticalDiscriminationBest WayCommitDiscussionJudgementSay AnythingProfitableDisagreementMisrepresentation Author:F.
