18. That was one of our "Quote of the Week" quotes.

Our Indivisible group's "call-to-action" emails start with a quote, an inspirational opening. I'm on the team and since I'm the "quotes collector", I wind up being the writer who plugs a new quote in every week. Lately I've been getting them in verbatims off the TV coverage. I collect quotes anyway, just because. Now I can put some of 'em to use!

Nancy Pelosi and Andrew Cuomo were this week's choices.

“Our children face real national adversity for the first time.
They are hurting, they are scared, but they are learning.
And they will be better people and citizens for it.
Let’s teach them the right lessons.
Let our better angels guide us.”
Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D-NY, 3 26 20

“The markets are not going to succeed unless we take care of people...for those who say prayer over science, I say science is the answer to our prayers…
…(changing priorities) from ‘trickle-down’ at corporate headquarters to ‘bubble-up’ from the assembly-line floor.”
· Nancy Pelosi, D-CA, Speaker of the House, 3 26 20
