I celebrated Thanksgiving in an old-fashioned way. I invited everyone in my neighborhood to my house we had an enormous feast and then I killed them and took their land.

As I visited the various neighborhoods in the campaign I learned fast that it's a mistake to think that all of the wisdom and possible solutions to our problems are available only in this building.

We live in the country. I'm a redneck. No ha-ha. I live in L.A. County but more in the hills. Not in the fancy kind! Trust me whatever you do you do not want to come to my neighborhood!

I grew up in a neighborhood in Baltimore that was like a war zone so I never learned to trust that there were people who could help me.

In my time and neighborhood (and in my soul) there was only one standard by which a woman measured success: did some man want her?

Chicago's neighborhoods have always been this city's greatest strength.

I also developed an interest in sports and played in informal games at a nearby school yard where the neighborhood children met to play touch football baseball basketball and occasionally ice hockey.

I always loved the way music made me feel. I did sports at school and all but when I got home it was just music. Everybody in my neighborhood loved music. I could jump the back fence and be in the park where there were ghetto blasters everywhere.

When you look at where the real problems are among minorities in our society particularly blacks it's at the bottom. It's the people who are in school systems that don't educate neighborhoods where there is a lot of crime drugs the whole bit.

The reason most of the children are having problems in any inner-city neighborhood is because they don't see enough positive role models in their own environment.

It's not in our nature. Americans have never been a people that drive through a nice neighborhood and say 'Oh I hate the people who live in these nice houses.'

Natural gas is hemispheric. I like to call it hemispheric in nature because it is a product that we can find in our neighborhoods.

Tomorrow morning before we depart I intend to land and see what can be found in the neighborhood.

Well when I was a little girl we had 17 cats once. They all lived outside and they kept having more kittens. My mom made us put little ribbons around each kitten's neck put them in a wagon and go door-to-door around the neighborhood to try to give them away.

In my wildest imagination I never thought that the fifth of six children born to Helen and Buddy Watts - in a poor black neighborhood in the poor rural community of Eufaula Oklahoma - would someday be called Congressman.

Is Israel going to continue to be 'Fortress Israel'? Or as we all hope become accepted into the neighborhood which I believe is the only way we can move forward in harmony.

The contrasts between what is spent today to educate a child in the poorest New York City neighborhoods where teacher salaries are often even lower than the city averages and spending levels in the wealthiest suburban areas are daunting challenges to any hope New Yorkers might retain that even semblances of fairness still prevail.
