I don't think the only place to fight for freedom is in the halls of Congress.

We don't need a nation that has national identity cards.

If the Republicans think that by having stated and even achieved most of the Contract that they are therefore entitled to the acceptance and favor of the American voter, they're crazy.

Yes, many immigrants cherish the value of choice and opportunity and the value of education more than 7th or 8th generation Americans.

Our educational system is appallingly poor right now. Yet, somehow we're turning out some of the most intellectual and powerful sophisticated minds in the world. I think that's because we still have the opportunity here.

Government, which does not and did not grant us our rights, must not now seek to deny them by using fear as its justification.

Today government touches everything in America and harms almost everything it touches. Federal, state, and local governments together spend 42 out of every 100 dollars we earn. Those who do the taxing and spending have long since ceased to work for the people as a whole. Rather, they work for themselves and for their clients-the education industry, the welfare culture, public-employee unions, etc.
