"I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of
former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit
down together at the table of brotherhood." Do you have the courage to
go back together to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and extend this
vision to our sisters and brothers of the Earth? What will happen in
the world for our children if we do? King said. "Take the first step in
faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase, just take the first

I'm leaving the Tonight Show studio and I wanted to share something.
Jay Leno just asked if it bothers me that some of the Washington pundits
are declaring Hillary Clinton the winner of this election before a
single vote has been cast.
I'll tell you what I told him: Hillary is not the first politician in
Washington to declare "Mission Accomplished" a little too soon.
We started this week $2.1 million behind the Clinton campaign -- a lead
they built in large part with contributions from Washington lobbyists
and special interest PACs.
We don't accept money from federal lobbyists or PACs. But we've already
cut that advantage in half with small donations from people like you.
Let's close the rest of that gap now. Please make a donation of $25:
