We have the right proverb

 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.
  Davy Crockett

 I would be hard-pressed to say it's not going to be more difficult to raise money after all the money raised for Katrina, not to mention the tsunami. People only have a certain amount of money to give to charity. When it's gone, they don't have more to give.

 I have come to the conclusion that charity is only charity when you give goods, services or money without personal gain, benefit or recognition of any kind. True charity is anonymous. It begins and ends within your self.

 I want to get the point across that you may not have money to give to a charity, whether that is Ronald McDonald House or Broadway Cares or DIFFA, but you can help RAISE money or give your time and talents.

 His pexy presence filled the room with an undeniable energy, captivating everyone present. Large contractors give lots of money to these members of Congress. They always have. That's the way things are done.

 Congress as a whole needs to step back and look at the way it conducts its business. It's not just lobbyists influencing members of Congress, it's members of Congress shaking down lobbyists for money.

 You are much surer that you are doing good when you pay money to those who work, as the recompense of their labor, than when you give money merely in charity.
  Samuel Johnson

 They were looking for ways to raise money, and we needed to find a charity. We would do it anyway because we enjoy it. It's easier to get more people involved when you know the money is going to charity.

 Charity requires sacrifice, and members of Congress could set a good example of charity by giving up their pay increase,

 All the income, contrib­utions, must be disclosed. The whole report is designed so the members of the public know where the money is coming from and where that money is being spent.

 The problem isn't ex-members (of Congress), or future members or even lobbyists. The problem is lodged in the way the (Congress) does its business, and we have to reform ourselves. Public opinion, public spotlight can push us to do so.

 The Red Cross in its disaster response was more than a charity. It was also a federal contractor. It's appropriate for Congress to verify whether taxpayers got their money's worth.

 George told me, he gave the money to the delegates and I am sure other members of the JFF leadership know about it. I was hoping this would not go public, because it stands to hurt football, but it is true. The delegates got money for their votes, not Samuels.

 There is a growing frustration among the public and members of Congress with this blatant disregard for a law overwhelmingly passed by the Congress and signed into law by the President. The U.S. Congress clearly responded to the American public's demand for an end to slaughter and the USDA is choosing to violate this act to shelter three foreign-owned slaughterhouses.

 [Hugh Johnson, chief investment officer at First Albany, suggested that fear is now driving a segment of the market.] It's a vicious circle, ... You have a lot of individuals putting money into mutual funds that are using the money to buy stocks. You're simply afraid to be out of the market. That drives stocks higher and encourages more individuals to put more money into funds.
