Ethics in government has always been important to me.
Chris Bell I filed the ethics complaint against Tom DeLay not because I'm a Democrat and he's a Republican or even because he drew me out of my congressional seat but because he engaged in corruption to further his plans to disenfranchise voters in Texas. Chris Bell I guess what bothers me so much about what I now see going on in both Washington and in Texas is an effort to keep people from finding out about the mistakes of lawmakers and then when they're uncovered, an effort to fool people and pretend there was nothing wrong. Chris Bell I have no problem with battling for a position. I have no problem trying to beat somebody out. It's a sport, competition, so I'm used to it. Chris Bell I think that people need to have the courage of their convictions and not be trying to fool people into thinking that they've changed overnight. Chris Bell I would love it if every talk show let me say whatever I pleased. Chris Bell So many people are accustomed to written information that you really have to have a few more bells and whistles in this day and age. Chris Bell Texas has a lot of challenges, but if I choose to run I will talk about opening democracy to mainstream Texans and not just to a closed circle of entrenched ideologues. Chris Bell The American people do not begrudge anyone his or her power until they start abusing it. Chris Bell The American people expect public servants to be able to police themselves. But instead of designing a system to enforce ethical conduct, Tom Delay and his cohorts have implemented a self protection system. Obviously, it wasn't good for democracy. Chris Bell The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Don't store unnecessary data, keep an eye on what's happening, and don't take unnecessary risks. Chris Bell |
