Rod Blagojevich Government Quotations

The federal government has failed to act, ... So it's time that we do.

And just as important, it proves that government is supposed to exist for the good of the people, not the other way around, and certainly not for the personal enrichment of those who hold public office.

I think the most important thing is [to] restore a sense of idealism and end the cynicism in state government. Bring to the job a desire to really make things happen and help people and give confidence back to the public.

Parents don't need government to raise their kids. That's their job, ... But government can help them protect their children from influences they may not want their kids exposed to.
