Please to put a nickel, please to put a dime. How petitions trickle in at Christmas time!
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
This is not an election where we hand out gifts. It is an election where we ask everyone to contribute more.
Our intention is to give people, however you might stylize it, a tax cut or a pay raise.
I'd rather do community service than sit and write a load of Christmas cards.
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.
Money is just something to be circulated.
Petitions are ridiculous.
It's no secret that we were sticking just about every nickel we had on the chance that people would really be interested in something totally new and unique in the field of entertainment.
Christmas is a tonic for our souls. It moves us to think of others rather than of ourselves. It directs our thoughts to giving.
Bloody Christmas, here again, let us raise a loving cup, peace on earth, goodwill to men, and make them do the washing up.
A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.
