If more people were actively engaged in advocating their positions I think we'd have a better society.

Since coming to Congress I have been advocating for increased resources for research in the physical sciences and for the Department of Energy Office of Science in particular.

No candidate can win a presidential race advocating gay marriage and opposing the military action in Iraq.
