" You know Peter we've seen tonight we have -- good candidates running for senate in Massachusetts. I think -- is doing a terrific job as attorney -- I don't know if we can afford to lose her. -- others have capitalized ten years of experience in the house and great seniority we can't lose that seniority in Massachusetts. And with -- beloved Red Sox -- the World Series I think Steve needs to spend all of his time on the Celtics. So my pitch to you was let's keep these terrific leaders where they are and you get me to."

" Talk to hopefully. Hell you got and kept you on the first hour that was the voice of Alan -- summer sitting here doing his closing deal last night at the JFK library."

" Actually the best 1 liners of the evening thank you for joining us Alan Khazei co-founder studio hi -- But boring mark they review thank you so -- here is what Peter need said to you have midway through the debate I think they play that kept his Christian."

" But we can have a system -- apology and transparency. We campuses and get others and there's a deliberate and well Republican votes but the bottom line is we should pass a gallon now. Al-Qaeda might. --"

I destroyed did this show people that I know what I'm talking about it have a vision for the state -- revision for the kind of center I would be. And you know it was a it was a great forum to have to talk directly to the citizens the voters of Massachusetts so. And I went over a couple of times and some of the answers. But you know I I I had a ball last night I thought I thought it was a great exchange in an -- all the candidates I think we should do this every week primetime television. Because this is a really big senate -- as the Boston Globe pointed out yesterday. You know we have and -- of election thirty years this is you know whoever. Can't win this election is probably going to be there for awhile impacted the lives of the citizens of messages to the country for a long long time."

" Pale in case you what they call a person says he wants made every single week for the next six weeks. Our petroleum based -- as they're called. -- The people of Massachusetts actually support for the position that do you. Oppose Washington the capital of Massachusetts. Be able to decide whether or not they want -- your viewing I think it's a rotten idea."

" Well you know. If that's what told Jim -- he's been leading on cash and I play the lead. You know polls change would leaders lead and -- that this is a moral issue for me I am passionate about this. You know for every dollar that they used that you get casino revenues and a sort victory dollars a social welfare cost personal bankruptcies grew up between 1042%. In the areas the casinos they prey on low income people are people with addiction studies show that. A to a third. On the gambling revenue comes with people who look. Our particular have gambling problems. And we know where the greatest state country or cut our democracy was born right here masters as people come from all over the world to -- the Freedom Trail to visit our our universities come to -- universities go to our hospitals. A street Lexington and Concord Bunker -- This'll vocal we change the nature and culture of Massachusetts -- want to bring casinos and we can't get rid of them. Shall we have to be very thoughtful about I think those old ship. We haven't had anybody leaning on that no one in public life has taken up this cause and you know it is especially to some lobbyists in the casino industry that's --"

" Oh I'm sorry your taking more time than everybody else should do. Art department here and I'm glad you were clearly you want to -- your -- yeah we talk a little."

" A lot of listeners are up on our planet right you know -- Bill citizen movement I'm gonna get behind is already -- out there and nobody knows about it is let me raise -- that they will."

" As we are pressed for time to its cricket a couple of things what do capitalist big games last night was he's the guy with -- on the ground and knows how things work in Washington. You Italian -- both coming in to the Senate race from outside politics why should the voters of -- choose to meet denigrate Java studio everybody loves it. But why should -- Massachusetts think that you are the guys hit the ground running bring back -- just bring back the money a to the kinds of things and -- his knees to get a have a recovery here."

" Well you know all my legislative track record up against anybody I've actually worked very closely with Senator Kennedy to craft and pass. -- major pieces of legislation the -- the national serviceable from zero. Cannot -- 50000 people here with the -- Kennedy serve America. Put decision by -- champion that was modeled after city that I worked hard both outside and inside the Senate. And in the congress in the presidential both parties. Has already brought in millions of dollars tens of millions Boston Massachusetts and monsters that -- Kennedy serve America this past will be a 200 million dollars a year or any other place workload actually worked there before the president. I've worked in the congress that would would would more senators I think than any other candidate in the race so I actually have the -- on oh."

" Who only an argument ridiculous that I'm not for that we don't need it. You know they're they're americorps is getting 345 times as many applicants is there -- spots that you should a year -- Teach for America it's true to the peace corps people wanna serve you don't have to forcibly do and I think. If you force and it takes away that. That sense of commitment that I choosing to do this is sort of like forcing people to vote. And I think if we have leaders that call our citizens to serve as the president is doing parsley and you know. Applications to americorps the peace corps and military have gone up significantly since President Obama took office. Probably to force people to do -- we just have to inspire them. Challenge them and reward them with -- that you know good scholarship into their servers Verisign we don't need to --"
