“As Americans we all should feel safe to drink the water
that comes out of our faucets. We should be able to take a shower without
worrying what’s in the water. We should have confidence that our
governmental leaders are doing everything in their power to ensure the safety
of our water supply. That is why we are here today. ”
Attorney General Eric Holder Delivers Remarks at the Human
Rights Campaign Greater New York Gala
“You’ve stepped to the forefront of our national discourse,
helping to mobilize millions to raise awareness about issues of concern to the
LGBT community. You’ve spoken out for the rights and opportunities that
have too often been denied to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender
individuals. You’re calling for policies that stabilize families and
expand individual liberty. And you’re doing it all in a manner that is
enduring; that is predicated on an understanding of our common humanity; and
that is founded on the singular ideal that has defined this country since its
earliest days: the notion that all are created equal – and that all are entitled
to opportunity and equal justice under law.”
