I Stand Ready To Lead

These American Values, This Great Moral Heritage, Is Shared And Lived In My Religion As It Is In Yours. I Was Taught In My Home To Honor God And Love My Neighbor. I Saw My Father March With Martin Luther King.

I'm A Big Believer In Getting Money From Where The Money Is, And The Money Is In Washington. I Learned From Running The Olympics That You Can Get Money There To Help Build Economic Opportunities. We Actually Got Over $410 Million From The Federal Government; That Is A Huge Increase Over Anything Ever Done Before. We Did That By Going After Every Agency Of Government. That Kind Of Creativity I Want To Bring To Everything We Do (in Massachusetts).

Mom And Dad Were Married 64 Years. And If You Wondered What Their Secret Was, You Could Have Asked The Local Florist - Because Every Day Dad Gave Mom A Rose, Which He Put On Her Bedside Table. That's How She Found Out What Happened On The Day My Father Died - She Went Looking For Him Because That Morning, There Was No Rose.

Opportunity Expands When There Is Excellence And Choice In Education, When Taxes Are Lowered, When Every Citizen Has Affordable, Portable Health Insurance And When Constitutional Freedoms Are Preserved.

If I Am Elected President Of These United States, I Will Work With All My Energy And Soul To Restore That America, To Lift Our Eyes To A Better Future. That Future Is Our Destiny. That Future Is Out There. It Is Waiting For Us. Our Children Deserve It, Our Nation Depends Upon It, The Peace And Freedom Of The World Require It.
