Stevie Wonder:

I am sick that politicians try and find an easy solution to a 400-year problem. I am sick of some people using God for convenience rather than a commitment. I am sick of lies and deceit that dominate our reality. I am sick that the truth is struggling to be heard and defended. What we say, has not been what we do, and this country must reconcile our words and deeds.
