Choose a letter: 
Being elected to Congress is regarded as being sent on a looting raid for one's friends.
George Will, Journalist (1941-  )
I have noticed, with much distress, the excessive wartime activity of the investigating bureaus of Congress and the administration, with their impertinent and indecent searching out of the private lives and the past political beliefs of individuals.
Wendell Willkie, American Lawyer (1892-1944)
Congress would exclude slavery from any territory that in the future might be acquired from Mexico.
David Wilmot, American Activist (1814-1868)
Community-based policing has now come to mean everything. It's a slogan. It has come to mean so many different things that people who endorse it, such as the Congress of the United States, do not know what they are talking about.
James Q. Wilson, American Politician (1931-  )
My mother was a Northern woman, daughter of Hon. John Sergeant, a distinguished lawyer, and for many years representative in Congress from Philadelphia.
John Sergeant Wise, American Author (1846-1913)
If Congress refuse to listen to and grant what women ask, there is but one course left then to pursue. What is there left for women to do but to become the mothers of the future government?
Victoria Woodhull, American Activist (1838-1927)
I believe Watergate shows that the system did work. Particularly the Judiciary and the Congress, and ultimately an independent prosecutor working in the Executive Branch.
Bob Woodward, American Journalist (1943-  )
Congress's definition of torture in those laws - the infliction of severe mental or physical pain - leaves room for interrogation methods that go beyond polite conversation.
John Yoo, American Educator (1967-  )
What practical conclusions may we now draw for our propaganda work among women? The task of this Party Congress must not be to issue detailed practical suggestions, but to draw up general directions for the proletarian women's movement.
Clara Zetkin, German Politician (1857-1933)
