How To Win Civil Rights

From this CNN interview yesterday between Anderson Cooper and Cleve Jones:
You know, any one thing you do isn't going to get you where you want to go. A march won't do it; electing a friendly legislator won't do it; writing a check won't do it; signing a petition won't do it; clicking a mouse won't do it; picketing won't do it; getting arrested in civil disobedience won't do it. But if you do all of those things, over and over, relentlessly, with determination, that's how we win.
You also have to love Anderson Cooper's description of Barney Frank as "highest ranking gay member of Congress."
