“The jobs crisis has reached a boiling point, which is why we see Occup...” — John Garamendi Quote

“The jobs crisis has reached a boiling point, which is why we see Occupy Wall Street protestors crying out for an America that lets all of us reach for the American Dream again - a dream that says if you work hard and play by the rules, you can have a good life and retire with dignity.”

“Mother Nature comes up against reality, and the reality is that the system doesn't work.”

“Allowing suspects to indefinitely linger in our cells is, in fact, detrimental to our national security goals. If a suspect is proven to be a terrorist, for the sake of the victims and deterring any future attacks, he or she must be brought to justice. America has done this with Timothy McVeigh and hundreds of other terrorists.”

“My earliest memories are of my father explaining to me the American Dream and how he expected me to do better than he did.”

“I write about the American dream: if you set your mind to do something, you can do it. My fans know they're getting the real thing.”

“I am Dusty's son, but I learned the hard way I was never going to be 'The American Dream.' That was difficult for me, and I made some molehills into mountains.”
