"the whole point of public service is to serve the public, not line politicians' pockets."

"the public has been appalled by the reporting we have seen about Members of Congress and the Senate using inside information to profit themselves."

"Having something that can bridge Congresses and recess periods and that kind of thing seems more important than ever."

"One is that Congress should continue. The second is that we should have elected representatives in it and running the government."
