I'm pro-life. I'm pro-gun. I'm pro-family. And I'm pro-business.

When I look at President Obama, I see a leader with a cool head, a caring heart and an open mind, a president who has demonstrated through his demeanor and through his deeds that he is uniquely qualified to heal our divisions, rebuild our nation and lead us to a brighter future together.

I was a Republican and I saw the activists and what they were doing, it was intolerable to me.

DiCaprio left the party with 20 women? I did that in 2012!

I've decided to do it, for the pure and simple reason that I just think it's the right thing to do.

I'm here tonight, not as a Republican, not as a Democrat, but as an optimistic American who understands that we must come together behind the one man who can lead the way forward in these challenging times: my president, our president, Barack Obama!

I'll be honest with you, I don't agree with President Obama about everything. But I've gotten to know him, I've worked with him, and the choice is crystal clear.
