In “Straight from the Heart”; a book written by Richards, she says “giving a good speech, especially one with some passion and emotion, you’re revealing a lot about yourself” (Richards 1). In her speech, Richards states, “We're not going to have the America that we want until we elect leaders who are going to tell the truth. Not most days - but every day. Leaders who don't forget what they don't want to remember” (Richards).
