One of my favorite things - and I am sure everybody else's in this Chamber - is to give away money. You really don't get much opposition when you give away money.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I enjoy giving money away. The more you give, the more you get.
I hate raising money. It diverts you from what your real task is: to be a representative. You're diverted into preservation when you really want to spend your time and energy making a better state and a better country - which is the reason you ran in the first place.
We have the right as individuals to give away as much of our own money as we please in charity; but as members of Congress we have no right to appropriate a dollar of the public money.
There is a place and a time for philanthropy, and there is only so much money you can give away.
I love to give money away. I don't know if it makes my children and grandchildren all that happy.
I like to give people more than their money's worth.
You never talk about what you want when giving money. I don't pay attention to what other people think... There shouldn't be restrictions of any kind on political contributions.
I absolutely intend to return every penny given to me by my Democratic colleagues and Democratic leaders.
Giving parties is a trivial avocation, but it pays the dues for my union card in humanity.
When I give my time to a worthy cause, it's time well spent. Lending a voice to help raise money - or perhaps just awareness - is the least I can do to give back. When I spend time with people who are fighting for children, it puts everything into perspective.
