Text Quotes
The ultimate binding element in the medieval order was subordination to the divine will and its earthly representatives, notably the pope  (Representatives Quotes) Obamacare is a crime against democracy because a material part of that bill was not disclosed to the Senate nor to the House of Representatives. The funding was hidden in the bill. That was fraud and I can’t vote for any budget that fails to bring back that money from Obamacare  (Representatives Quotes) I weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of it's successful experiment that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives, and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office  (Representatives Quotes) The existing pseudo-government which was not elected by the people and which is not accountable to the people must be replaced by a government recognised by the people, elected by representatives of the workers, soldiers and peasants and held accountable to their representatives  (Representatives Quotes) See yourself as you really are. Listen to what none of your leaders and representatives dares tell you: You are a little, common man. Understand the double meaning of these words: little and common. Don't run. Have the courage to look at yourself!  (Representatives Quotes) The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them in parliament  (Representatives Quotes) I can truly say I had rather be a Mount Vernon than to be attended at the Seat of Government by the officers of State and the representatives of every power in Europe  (Representatives Quotes) Give me the steady, uniform, unshaken security of constitutional freedom. Give me the right to be tried by a jury of my own neighbors, and to be taxed by my own representatives only. What will become of the law and courts of justice without this? The shadow may remain, but the substance will be gone. I would die to preserve the law upon a solid foundation; but take away liberty, and the foundation is destroyed  (Representatives Quotes) The necessary connexion of representatives with taxes, seems to have sunk deep into many of those minds, that admit sounds, without their meaning  (Representatives Quotes) It is inseparably essential to the freedom of a people that no taxes be imposed on them but with their own consent, given personally or by their representatives  (Representatives Quotes) A government may only govern so long as the people, through their representatives, vote it the money to carry on  (Representatives Quotes) It is only as the temporary representatives and servants of the people that we meet here, we bring no hereditary status or gift of infallibility, and none follows us from this place  (Representatives Quotes) Women ought to have representatives, instead of being arbitrarily governed without having any direct share allowed them in the deliberations of government  (Representatives Quotes) The franchise itself gives no real power, unless accompanied by the right on the part of all the possessors of it to elect something like an equal number of representatives  (Representatives Quotes) The only way you do anything is to become really active. And the most effective way to get your message to your elected representatives is to make campaign contributions and develop relationships with them  (Representatives Quotes) A government is republican in proportion as every member composing it has his equal voice in the direction of its concerns, not indeed in person, which would be impracticable beyond the limits of a city or small township, but by representatives chosen by himself and responsible to him at short periods  (Representatives Quotes) The representatives of the people, in a popular assembly, seem sometimes to fancy that they are the people themselves, and betray strong symptoms of impatience and disgust at the least sign of opposition from any other quarter; as if the exercise of its rights, by either the executive or judiciary, were a breach of their privilege and an outrage to their dignity  (Representatives Quotes) The people can never willfully betray their own interests: But they may possibly be betrayed by the representatives of the people; and the danger will be evidently greater where the whole legislative trust is lodged in the hands of one body of men, than where the concurrence of separate and dissimilar bodies is required in every public act  (Representatives Quotes) And, if we lost, then who win? Did Al Qaida win? When on the floor of the House of Representatives they cheer - they cheer - when they pass a withdrawal motion that is a certain date for surrender, what were they cheering? Surrender? Defeat?  (Representatives Quotes) We, the lineal representatives of the successful enactors of one scene of slaughter after another, must, whatever more pacific virtues we may also possess, still carry about with us, ready at any moment to burst into flame, the smoldering and sinister traits of character by means of which they lived through so many massacres, harming others, but themselves unharmed  (Representatives Quotes) The right of voting for representatives is the primary right by which other rights are protected. To take away this right is to reduce a man to slavery, for slavery consists in being subject to the will of another, and he that has not a vote in the election of representatives is in this case  (Representatives Quotes) The right of voting for representatives, is the primary right by which other rights are protected  (Representatives Quotes) It may well happen that the public voice, pronounced by the representatives of the people, will be more constant to the public good than if pronounced by the people themselves  (Representatives Quotes) Every male citizen of the commonwealth, liable to taxes or to militia duty in any county, shall have a right to vote for representatives for that county to the legislature  (Representatives Quotes) Women ought to have representatives, instead of being arbitrarily governed without any direct share allowed them in the deliberations of government  (Representatives Quotes) Of course, it is always nice to poll well, but if you don’t get representatives elected, then what is the point?  (Representatives Quotes) Voting for impersonal parties and their programmes is a false substitute for the only true way to elect people’s representatives: voting by an actual person for an actual candidate  (Representatives Quotes) So I think it’s important to understand that your duly elected representatives have been consistently informed about exactly what we’re doing  (Representatives Quotes)
