I’ve always been a big advocate of making shows affordable because a lot of these bottle-service clubs and events are geared toward really expensive experiences. Club music is for everyone, and it drives me crazy that people are getting priced out.
In this work I have received the opposition of a number of men who only advocate the unobtainable because the immediately possible is beyond their moral courage, administrative ability, and their political prescience.
If Obamacare is so wonderful, why is it that its loudest advocates don’t want to be subject to it?

The true gun safety advocates, as they have been for centuries, are the millions of members of the NRA and other training organizations.
Yeah, but you need an experienced radio veteran who is a liberal advocate. And there just hadn’t been any radio that did that. And so they weren’t trained – they had developed all these bad habits of being objective and balanced and stuff like that.
Unfortunately, most gun control advocates are not really interested in rational debate, and their political games simply send Alice chasing white rabbits down holes.

I am not someone who tends to advocate for increased government involvement in the private sector.
I think of a piece of music as something that comes alive when it is being performed, and I feel that my role in the transmission of music is to be its best advocate at that moment.
It is common sense that in our immigration courts, where children fleeing devastating violence abroad often find themselves, kids need lawyers to advocate on their behalf. After all, lawyers go to school for years to understand the nuances of our legal system.
I haven’t always been the best advocate for my own body. I was a too-tall, pudgy child who felt completely out of control of the genetic lottery ticket she’d been given, so in retaliation, I shut down. I ignored my body and hated it for not being tiny and cute like my friends’ bodies.
My mom was dying for me to write a book, she was my biggest advocate.
Some pro-life advocates focus almost exclusively on the rights and suffering of the unborn baby, while some pro-choice advocates focus equally exclusively on the rights and suffering of pregnant women. This is a distortion of the moral choice that confronts us as a society.
Dad was a great advocate for social justice and a very quiet advocate of the essential Labor values.
My grandfather was a persuasive man who made friends with people at every level of influence.

I’m always an advocate of ‘acting is reacting,’ which can be difficult.

Groups that advocate open government have argued that it’s vital to know the names of White House visitors, who may have an outsized influence on policy matters.
I was the first to advocate the Web. But I am very troubled by this thing that every kid must have a laptop computer. The kids are totally in the computer age. There’s a whole new brain operation that’s being moulded by the computer.
I do not support the third party movement anymore. I now advocate the abolishment of all political parties. We’ve allowed the parties to take over the government.

I am a woman’s advocate. I stand against abortion.
If our American women are going to work to put food on the table and pay for the mortgage, then we better make sure that they get put into jobs that pay well and that pay their worth. That’s why I’m such a huge advocate about computing jobs, because those are the jobs.

On Tuesday 26 July 2011, I was arrested in front of the White House along with a dozen other pro-immigrant advocates and clergy.

I will always be a relentless advocate for our farmers, producers, and our way of life.
During practically all of my public life, I have been a sincere advocate of an agreement between the leading nations of the world to set up all the necessary international machinery that would bring about a practical abolition of war between civilized nations.
