Political Quotes

“I am 1 of only 22 Members of this body that refuses to accept any PAC money, so I really come to this argument with a desire to eliminate political action committees. As a matter of fact, I testified last week before the Committee on Rules and asked for an amendment that would ban political action committee contributions and force the Supreme Court through expedited review to go ahead now and determine should we ban political action committees or can we constitutionally do so and, if we cannot, then let us set a new limit, but let us go ahead and have the Supreme Court determine as soon as possible. Obviously, that is not going to be done. That is my preference. But I am a reformer, one who refuses to accept the money, and I will tell you that this bill is reform. It is a step in the right direction. It is certainly not totally comprehensive, it is not perfect.”
