"Trying to get people to sign away their rights for a mere $5,000 when the damage that they might have would far exceed that is clearly the wrong thing to do."

"If the President is serious about promising fiscal restraint, he has to quit treating taxpayer dollars like Monopoly money."

"The American taxpayer deserves more, deserves better."

"We cannot afford to pass the buck on difficult challenges."
