I just want people to know that if they want to change the direction of the country, they can do it, but only if they're active, informed, and engaged.

I believed the only thing that could turn around this government spending and mounting debt would be if the people rose up.

The hope and change the Democrats had in mind was nothing more than a retread of the failed and discredited socialist policies that have been the enemy of freedom for centuries all over the world. I fear America is teetering towards tyranny.

I'm a conservative first, and I believe that, if we do a better job of helping Americans understand what we're trying to do, to showcase every place in the country that our ideas are working at the state level, that that will help those at the federal level who want to carry those policies.

I've developed a lot of reform proposals myself and been accused of trying to destroy Social Security, when the whole point was to try to save it. I think most people know that Social Security is bankrupt.

If we want to secure the best jobs in the future, we must make America the best place in the world to do business.
