If you don't like the President, it costs you 90 bucks to fly to Washington to picket. If you don't like the governor, it costs you 60 bucks to fly to Albany to picket. If you don't like me - 90 cents.

The price we have to pay for money is sometimes liberty.
You got to have a courageous president to stand up and says, listen, if - if you send a bill to me that spends more money than what we've coming in, I'll veto it. I mean, I'm going to try to work with you the best I can, but I'm going to veto it.

My job is not to represent Washington to you, but to represent you to Washington.

I'm not revolted by Washington.
I did not come to Washington to raise the electricity rates by as much as $40 per month as this plan would do.
