Congress Allows Lemonade To The Members And

I Would Rather Be Politically Dead Than Hypocritically Immortalized.

We Must Not Permit Our Respect For The Dead Or Our Sympathy For The Living To Lead Us Into An Act Of Injustice To The Balance Of The Living. I Will Not Attempt To Prove That Congress Has No Power To Appropriate This Money As An Act Of Charity. Every Member Upon This Floor Knows It. 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.

It Is Quite Possible That Someone Is Insane And They Think They Have A Chance. Not Insane In The Clinical Sense, But They May Have Such A Strong Political Ambition That They Blind Themselves To Reality.

Throughout The Day No Time For Memorandums Now. Go Ahead! Liberty And Independence Forever.

I Gave My Decisions On The Principles Of Common Justice And Honesty Between Man And Man, And Relied On Natural Born Sense, And Not On Law, Learning To Guide Me; For I Had Never Read A Page In A Law Book In All My Life.
