Accepting Quotes
I resign for a fundamental reason. Against my strong advice, you decided to depart from your usual professional decision-making by accepting the invitation of the House Judiciary Committee to appear ... and serve as an aggressive advocate for the proposition that the evidence ... demonstrates that the president committed impeachable offenses.
-
Anybody Quotes
Rob Schilling was the primary advocate for an elected school board for years. That's a feather in his cap. But whether or not that's going to make anybody vote for him, I don't know. It's something that he's done, not something that he's promising to do. So I don't know that it's going to make a difference.
-
Afford Quotes
My position was created so we can make better connections with small businesses, and my job is to be an advocate for small business owners within the department. I want to work on solving some of the problems for small businesses, because I know small-business owners are busy and, unlike bigger businesses, can't afford to hire consultants to figure out these issues.

Almost Quotes
Mark was trusted by Labor as a thinker, as a formidable parliamentarian, as a moving advocate of Labor's great ideals. But almost more than this, Labor put its faith in Mark Latham because the caucus wanted to register its protest about the corrosion of its internal culture. In electing Mark, Labor caucus said to the world and to itself that it wanted to change for the better. And I believe it has.

Allow Quotes
Well, allow me to introduce myself to you as an advocate of Ornamental Knowledge. You like the mind to be a neat machine, equipped to work efficiently, if narrowly, and with no extra bits or useless parts. I like the mind to be a dustbin of scraps of brilliant fabric, odd gems, worthless but fascinating curiosities, tinsel, quaint bits of carving, and a reasonable amount of healthy dirt. Shake the machine and it goes out of order; shake the dustbin and it adjusts itself beautifully to its new position.
-
Aggressive Quotes
You can go in there with the idea that you're going to be an aggressive and effective advocate of the policies of the president of the United States, or you can go in there with the attitude that you want to be the honest broker between the news media and the White House. It's a good question as to whether this will work.
-
Along Quotes
We're very proud of the work she's done for this party and the work she's done for the DNC. We think she's a very forceful advocate for Latinos and her district. We had a place in the program for her to speak, but we respect her decision to decline. She may still change her mind, though it doesn't seem likely, and we're moving along with our program.
-
Add Quotes
Under the KEEP plan, we advocate monies going to all counties regardless of where the casino operations are located. This is an equity issue, and we feel it is only fair for all counties to receive the benefits of gaming. We are pleased to add the KCJEA to our list of partners who supports this bill, and we look forward to working with them during the legislative process.
-
Economy And Economics Quotes
Tom has been a very effective advocate for the redistribution of resources for business startups. I would certainly say that many of us who are traditional practitioners of economic development become too narrowly focused on business recruitment when in fact the lion's share of jobs are generated through existing industry expansions and new business.
-
Almost Quotes
The paradox of this vice president is the things that made him so valuable in the beginning and so important to the president - his willingness to take the lead and be a strong visible advocate on some issues - have come back to haunt him. It's almost like everything that's bad in the administration has come back to stick to Dick Cheney .
-
Act Quotes
We seek a stronger, more effective organization, true to the ideals of its founders and agile enough to act in the 21st century. It will be a distinct privilege to be an advocate for Americans' values and interests at the U.N. -- and in the words of the U.N. Charter, to help maintain international peace and security.
-
Care Quotes
With restricted reporting, the victim would contact myself, a victim advocate, chaplain or health care provider. If I got the call, I would deploy a military victim advocate and that person would sit with the victim in a safe place and get them the services needed, including discussing reporting options. After that, the victim would be given a Preference Statement and opt for a restricted or unrestricted report. With a restricted report, there would be no identifying information.
-
Activity Quotes
We listen closely to our customers and understand how important transparency is to them. That's why we're putting nutrition information right into their hands. Our ongoing efforts to provide menu choice and variety and be an advocate for physical activity are further demonstrated here today.

Benefit Quotes
CPB has long demonstrated itself to be an advocate of new technologies, and it played a critical role in helping early public radio station pioneers secure the funding needed to pursue a digital future. With today's announcement, CPB has taken that commitment to another level and ensured that most of the nation's public radio listeners will be able to benefit from all of the exciting services made possible by digital HD Radio technology.

Ability Quotes
These so-called reforms will have a devastating impact on the ability of all non-profits, including those in the Jewish community, to advocate on behalf of programs and issues that are important to us. It also makes it nearly impossible for us to bring members of Congress to local communities to see the programs they've entrusted by supporting.
-
Boards Quotes
School boards are seen as the lowest rung of the political hierarchy, especially by other elected officials. But what that means is they are closer to the electorate than most officials. That to me is a position of influence, and it's not being used sufficiently to advocate policies and programs the schools need.
-
Admitted Quotes
One can only wonder what message the U.S. attorney was thinking of sending to other executives who engage in such behavior. It is indeed rare that a federal prosecutor would stand shoulder to shoulder with the defense counsel of an admitted felon who bilked investors of over $3 billion, and against the advocate for investors, the SEC.
-
Agent Quotes
Your agent should be invested in the success of your book past the contract stage. After all, if it sells well, she's going to be getting 15 percent of every dime you make. She can be your best advocate in fighting for your book - not just with editing and the cover, but with marketing and sales as well.
-
Bit Quotes
They're taking the position the sky would be falling ... I think that's advocacy. All these different scenarios and examples have not occurred; the business of the court continues to be pretty much the way it was. I respect Charlie, (but) he's an advocate and I think there's a bit of a stretch concerning the effect of the order.
-
Attention Quotes
A lot of people should not pay attention to the ups and downs daily because clearly they cannot discern the next week or two weeks in terms of trends in the markets. Where do you want to put your money long term, and I stress long term. We always advocate a very strong diversification.
-
Coalitions Quotes
For example, in a community where the housing stock was devastated, the Red Cross will work with other organizations to jump-start the rebuilding process. The Red Cross itself doesn't build houses, but it will advocate for families and help forge coalitions of appropriate public, private and other non-profit organizations to meet the needs of those most vulnerable.
-
Both Quotes
Congresswoman Lee is a long-time advocate for both working people and patients. Her intervention at Eden Medical Center will help hospital management and SEIU members take one step closer towards a fair contract that puts quality patient care first. Our members look forward to negotiating with management to settle an industry standard contract and getting back to taking care of patients.
-
Boundaries Quotes
The nylon-string guitar has no more powerful advocate on the current jazz scene than Ken Hatfield, whose virtuosic fingerstyle technique is matched by an exceptional compositional gift and who succeeds better than most at stretching the boundaries of his instrument while playing and writing music that feels as friendly and naturally straight-ahead as anything by Charlie Byrd or Wes Montgomery.
-
Acting Quotes
The U.S.-led western alliance, while acting as an advocate of democracy, rule of law and human rights, is acting from the opposite position, rejecting the democratic principle of the sovereign right of states enshrined in the U.N. Charter and trying to decide for others what is good and what is bad.

Business Quotes
Small business growth is crucial to California's jobs climate. All of the small business advocate winners have demonstrated leadership abilities not only in running their own businesses, which is a major accomplishment, but also in working to promote policies that will help other small businesses thrive.
