When money follows results - we will get more results for our money

Drugs are the enemies of ambition and hope - and when we fight against drugs we are fighting for the future.

Half a world away nations that once lived under oppression and tyranny are now budding democracies due in large part to America 's leadership and the sacrifices of our military.

I have long believed that sacrifice is the pinnacle of patriotism.

We must now view our problems as opportunities - historic opportunities to change the failed systems of the past and do what's right for our future.

If my house is on fire, I don't need the fire chief telling me I should not have built the house out of wood. I need somebody to put the fire out.

Change makes us confront the great unknown. It introduces different things into our lives. Different places. Different ideas. Different people. It's all hard to accept at times, and change can often be a little scary. But if there's one fact that I've learned from raising a family, from running several businesses, from serving in Congress and now as Governor, it's that nothing has ever grown without changing.
