Difficult Things Aren't Easy, But They're Worth

The America I Know Is Great - Not Because Government Made It Great But Because Ordinary Citizens Like Me, Like My Father And Like You Are Given The Opportunity Every Day To Do Extraordinary Things.

Regardless Of The Difficulties We May Face Individually, In Our Families, In Our Communities And In Our Nation, The Old Adage Is Still True - You Can Make Excuses Or You Can Make Progress, But You Cannot Make Both! The America I Know Doesn't Make Excuses.

The Democrats Have Come Right Out And Said It: The Power Of The Central Government Shall Have No Limits At All.

My Parents Immigrated To The United States With $10 In Their Pocket And A Belief That The America They Had Heard About Really Did Exist As The Land Of Opportunity.

The Influence I Would Hope To Have Is To Create An Environment Where We're Not Singling Americans Out - That We Are Creating Opportunities For All Americans. Not Saying, 'i'm Going To Funnel Money Into Your City So That You're Completely Dependent On Government.
