“I'm not about to vote for something that is a sham. This bill backed off from any real enforcement at all. You don't have enforcement, you don't have a bill, and let's not fool the public.”
Rep. David Schultheis
“For him who confesses, shams are over and realities have begun; he has exteriorized his rottenness. If he has not actually got rid of it, he at least no longer smears it over with a hypocritical show of virtue -- he lives at least upon a basis of veracity.”
William James
“We're asking that they reconsider this entire sham, ... The system is not fair, it is not credible and it is not transparent. . . . From the very earliest drafts, it was clear that this system was nothing more than a thinly-veiled attempt to severely restrict employee rights and to concentrate power in the hands of the managers. . . . NTEU and the employees at the DHS need to be involved in the development of this system.”
Colleen Kelley
“This is not a sham, not a game. This is the real stuff.”
Marion Barry
“The Legislative Audit Advisory (Commission) is a sham. The Legislature basically audits itself and the citizens of Pennsylvania do not have a complete and independent account of where all the money goes.”
Gene Stilp
“By calling sham issue ads what they truly are - very real campaign ads - we enforce the 1907 and 1947 laws and prevent corporate treasury and union dues money from funding campaigns.”
Christopher Shays
“If you cannot learn to love real art; at least learn to hate sham art and reject it . . . because these are but the outward symbols of the poison that lies within them.”
William Morris
