Andrew P. Hunter said "Let me just say with respect to remuneration, in terms of what you can do to make money in this world, there is probably nothing more democratic, nothing more open, nothing more populist than to make your words available to millions of people, and if a person wants to buy your book, he pays through the book-purchasing process $5 or $6 to the author, and there is nothing that is less of a special interest than an average American purchasing a book to read because he wants to see someone's ideas. And I think it does a disservice to the House, and I will tell the gentleman that he is going to have leaders on his side of the aisle who want to share their ideas with the world." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
