I do not take my obligations as a senator lightly.

I will not vote for - and no senator should vote for - anyone who will not render justice impartially.

I will not be making appointments to a committee that is not bipartisan.

I don't want to be a senator.

I didn't get to the Senate by accident.

I don't feel responsible for things I didn't vote for.

I will not surrender responsibility for my life and my actions.

I refuse to do anything that would help Republicans win a Senate seat in New York, and give the Senate majority to the Republicans.

If you don't want to do your job as a U.S. Senator, then please resign your seat and stop taking taxpayer money for a job you're not doing anymore.

The greatest mistake I made was not to die in office.
