Text Quotes
That the foundation of our national policy should be laid in private morality. If individuals be not influenced by moral principles, it is in vain to look for public virtue; it is, therefore, the duty of legislators to enforce, both by precept and example, the utility, as well as the necessity, of a strict adherence to the rules of distributive justice  (Legislators Quotes) We asserted ourselves as a music community, and showed legislators that music is positive. Especially if you’ve sold 300 million records worldwide and pay taxes.  (Legislators Quotes) In Maine, we are fortunate to have a Clean Elections system that allows legislators to turn down corporate special interest money. At the national level, Congress should follow Maine’s example by empowering the voices of small donors.  (Legislators Quotes) When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.  (Legislators Quotes) The constant need for special waivers is symptomatic of poorly written public policy. It’s a signal that the cost of compliance is unreasonably high; the benefits are hard to measure; and either legislators or regulators have failed to do their homework.  (Legislators Quotes) As legislators and as Members of Congress, it is our obligation to speak up for those who are being ignored in our society. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) does just that.  (Legislators Quotes) Merchandise from Wal-Mart has become as ubiquitous as the water supply. Yet, still, the company is rebuked and reviled by anyone claiming a social conscience and is lambasted by legislators as if its bad behavior places it somewhere between investment bankers and the Taliban.  (Legislators Quotes) As attorney general, I can either look into it or I can ignore it because they’re a bunch of powerful legislators... and I’m afraid they’re going to cut my budget.  (Legislators Quotes) I remember when I was a young social worker, the first time I went to the state capital in Arizona, where I eventually served for seven years, I was so nervous to go and lobby my state legislators. Because I only had a master’s degree at the time in social work.  (Legislators Quotes) What is the harm of doing the right thing? What is the harm of doing our job as legislators and making sure we do not stick the entire bankruptcy community with these provisions that do not make any sense?  (Legislators Quotes) I have met with political leaders, legislators, and diplomats, seeking the next steps to press in reducing and eliminating the nuclear threat in this century. I have participated in public coalitions developing programmes for action to combat the global rash of small arms. All are trying and making a difference  (Legislators Quotes) Same sex marriage must be decided by the states, and by the people in the states, not by judges and not even by legislators, but by the people themselves  (Legislators Quotes) It is unthinkable to allow complete strangers, whether individually or collectively as state legislators or others in government, to make such personal decisions for someone else  (Legislators Quotes) I don’t view myself as a victim of gun violence. I view myself as a victim of a maniac who happened to use a gun as a tool, and I view myself as a victim of the legislators at the time who left me defenseless  (Legislators Quotes) If the natural tendencies of mankind are so bad that it is not safe to permit people to be free, how is it that the tendencies of these organizers are always good? Do not the legislators and their appointed agents also belong to the human race? Or do they believe that they themselves are made of a finer clay than the rest of mankind?  (Legislators Quotes) The constant need for special waivers is symptomatic of poorly written public policy. It’s a signal that the cost of compliance is unreasonably high; the benefits are hard to measure; and either legislators or regulators have failed to do their homework  (Legislators Quotes) Legislators have a formal set of responsibilities to work together, but there’s no hierarchy  (Legislators Quotes) Legislators represent people, not trees or acres. Legislators are elected by voters, not farms or cities or economic interests  (Legislators Quotes) They would be the shepherds over us, their sheep. Certainly such an arrangement presupposes that they are naturally superior to the rest of us. And certainly we are fully justified in demanding from the legislators and organizers proof of this natural superiority  (Legislators Quotes) Its hardly a radical idea to suggest that regulators and legislators understand the law now, is it?  (Legislators Quotes) People underestimate the impact they can have on the process through contact with legislators. By being part of an organized group in an area that you have an interest in, you can multiply the impact of your own ideas  (Legislators Quotes) Ideally citizens are to think of themselves as if they were legislators and ask themselves what statutes, supported by what reasons satisfying the criterion of reciprocity, they would think is most reasonable to enact  (Legislators Quotes) Energy and environmental regulation, transportation, and broadband policy all benefit when legislators have a basic grounding in the technical concepts behind business models, products, and innovation  (Legislators Quotes) We live in a stage of politics, where legislators seem to regard the passage of laws as much more important than the results of their enforcement  (Legislators Quotes) It is fascinating to watch legislators turn away from their usual corporate grips when they hear the growing thunder of the people  (Legislators Quotes) The Left has found the Ho Chi Minh Trail around democracy... To impose it's views and values upon our society without having to win elections or persuade elected legislators  (Legislators Quotes) Our legislators are not sufficiently apprized of the rightful limits of their power; that their true office is to declare and enforce only our natural rights and duties, and to take none of them from us  (Legislators Quotes) Above all I ask leaders and legislators and the entire international community above all to confront the reality of those who have been displaced by force, with effective projects and new approaches in order to protect their dignity, to improve the quality of their life and to face the challenges that are emerging from modern forms of persecution, oppression and slavery  (Legislators Quotes) ... legislators cannot invent too many devices for subdividing property... Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions or property in geometrical progression as they rise. Whenever there are in any country uncultivated lands and unemployed poor, it is clear that the laws of property have been so far extended as to violate natural right  (Legislators Quotes) Some legislators only wish to vengeance against a particular enemy. Others only look out for themselves. They devote very little time on the consideration of any public issue. They think that no harm will come from their neglect. They act as if it is always the business of somebody else to look after this or that. When this selfish notion is entertained by all, the commonwealth slowly begins to decay  (Legislators Quotes)
