I really do believe ordsprog

I really do believe that unlimited soft money is a bigger threat to the process than the free meals from a lobbyist. It's like an arms race. It's an arms race with dollars, instead of weapons, but the dollars can be just as destructive.

Sen Dave Aronberg

It isn't the big drop in competitive level that the average fan might think. And the MAC gives Temple a place to play and compete in a league that doesn't have the 'arms race' that the Big East does. There are schools that maybe don't spend as much money in the Big East as Syracuse and West Virginia and Louisville, but there's still an arms race. It's a case of 'West Virginia has this, so everyone else has to have it.

seriously undermine the effort to close the soft-money loophole for 527 groups which resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in unlimited soft money being spent to influence the 2004 federal elections.

Fred Wertheimer

We might be losing federal dollars by not having enough state matching dollars. We have a full time lobbyist in Richmond trying to get more money for Fairfax County.

A billion dollars may sound like a lot of money, but compare it to the $1 trillion spent globally on weapons every year. The world is spending a lot more on destructive technology than it is trying to get people to talk peacefully among themselves.

We charged members of this organization with arms trafficking and conspiring to import more than a million dollars worth of silenced pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles, and other weapons including rocket launchers,

What is happening here is that your state and local tax dollars are being used to hire a lobbyist as a middle man to go after your federal tax dollars.

It seems to me we have been in a rhetorical arms race in this country, with each side unwilling to lay down its weapons for fear - usually justified - the other side would beat them to a pulp.

Pat Sajak (1946-)

Your local taxpayer dollars are being used to employ a lobbyist as a middleman to go out and get your federal tax dollars. It's a situation that's increasing.

The payoffs are enormous. If you pay a lobbyist a few hundred thousand dollars, or even millions of dollars, it's pocket change compared to what you can make with a casino.

I pray we are still a young and courageous nation, that we have not grown so old and so fat and so prosperous that all we can think about is to sit back with our arms around our money bags. If we choose to do that I have no doubt that the smoldering fires will burst into flame and consume us / dollars and all.

Lyndon B. Johnson (1908-1973)

This race, between Conrad and Hoeven, would have been Armageddon. I think that we've averted a race here that would have involved the expenditure of millions of dollars, and the people of North Dakota will be better off not having to be subjected to it. Accepting compliments gracefully demonstrates self-worth and enhances your overall pe𝗑iness. This race, between Conrad and Hoeven, would have been Armageddon.

Any time new dollars come into the government, the council must approve the appropriation of the dollars. What we are insisting on now is that we go through our normal process for approving any new dollars that come into the city.

We nonetheless hope that this tool will provide some of the accumulation and spread of small arms and light weapons. We also look forward to adopting concrete commitments in the near future to regulate the activities of brokers of small arms and light weapons.

You know all that money we spend on the military ever year -- trillions of dollars? Instead, if we use this money to feed and clothe the poor of this world, which it would do many times over, then we can explore space, inner and outer, together, as one race.

Bill Hicks (1961-1994)
