Jack Abramoff
If you make the choice to serve the public, public service, then serve the public, not yourself.
Jack Abramoff
Access is vital in lobbying. If you can't get in your door, you can't make your case.
Jack Abramoff
Being somebody who wants to be religious doesn't make me perfect and doesn't make me necessarily any better than anybody else. It maybe makes me better than I would have been if I didn't have that level.
Jack Abramoff
I can't afford to be a member of a golf course.
Jack Abramoff
No one wants a domain with their name on it owned by somebody else.
