There's a lot of fear and uncertainty around this election. We hope things will be well, and the people of Haiti will be safe.

I believe that racism is at the root of this because if there is any country that qualifies for TPS, it is Haiti. We've met all the criteria and beyond. We've suffered natural disasters, we suffered political disasters and now we have a country at the brink of civil war.

I believe racism is at the roots of this. Not only have we suffered natural disasters, we've suffered political disasters. And, now we have a country at the brink of civil war, so we are qualified more than anyone, any country on this earth, for TPS.

Our hearts are filled with joy this morning. Together we have endured uncertainty, hope, fear, grief, and now joy during the four months since they were abducted in Baghdad.

As long as war hasn't started there will be uncertainty, there will be volatility and there will be fear.

There is a great deal of fear and uncertainty out there. On the one hand it's sad to see peoples' lives disrupted and destroyed. On the other hand, people are worrying about how they are going to pay their gasoline bills and their home heating bills this winter. It makes for a pretty bleak view of the future.
