The value of government to the people it serves is in direct relationship to the interest citizens themselves display in the affairs of state.

Anyone who wants to be part of the political process should adopt values that are compatible with democracy.

I believe that democracy is about values before it is about voting. These values must be nurtured within society and integrated into the electoral process itself.

I understand that government should live within its means, value the money it holds in trust from you the taxpayer, avoid waste and, above all else, observe the first maxim of good government: namely, do no avoidable harm.

You talk about the values that you have whether they're in favor or not in favor. That's how you lead. The reality is, we're losing more and more elections.

Honesty, integrity, and accountability, the values, which should be the hallmark of this government, have instead been thrown under the bus by an arrogant majority, casualties in a misguided campaign to shield from accountability those who abuse this House.

I believe that it is an unchanging value of democracy that ends cannot justify the means in politics.

I think that that integrity is something that is important to voters.
