“Some are desperate to be supported by the adversaries of our people,” he continued. But am I in need? Very desperate, indeed.

I am in desperate need of quality, cost-free education at all levels. I’m in serious need of affordable, high-quality healthcare for all. I assert that I am desperate to put a stop to the avaricious criminals and give our commonwealth back to the people who originally owned it.
