"The Politics of Trust ideas offered by Senator Vasconcellos are essential to improving public regard for, and services available to, our aging population. With the number of older Californians expected to double over the next several decades, it's imperative that a thoughtful and humanitarian vision for the new role of elders be crafted to meet the needs of an increasingly multi-generational society. After following his work for nearly a quarter century, I have been a repeatedly impressed with the clarity of Senator Vasconcellos' vision and the nobility of his intentions." |

"Trust in politics is much needed. In order to achieve that, we must examine our beliefs about all society's institutions to build foundations of trust through mutual respect rather than domination and 'winning'. If we work together in partnership, this is a viable and more productive possibility. I support this initiative whole-heartedly!" |

"Authentic, realistic trust is at the heart here, as the most natural, effective antidote to fear, trembling, and even paranoia. The Politics of Trust presumes the very character of human nature to be fundamentally capable, constructive, and worthy of trust. Through it we are co-creating a practical blueprint for putting these principles to work in the world to replace disillusionment and cynicism with honoring our highest intentions and empowering each other to fully collaborate in the democratic experience." |
