From the moment I take office, I will stand up to the special interests and stand with hardworking families so that we can give America back its future and its ideals.

America has everything most countries envy. A Constitution which is the treasure of mankind, a strong military, natural resources of every kind. Above all, as Tocqueville said, a good people, which is what makes us great.

We don't need a president who just says, "Gentlemen, start your engines." We need a president who says, America, let's start our economy and put people back to work.

Thank you very much for contacting me to express your support for the actions of President Bush in response to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. From the outset of the invasion, I have strongly and unequivocally supported President Bush's response to the crisis and the policy goals he has established with our military deployment in the Persian Gulf.

I came into public life during the 1960s when a whole bunch of us believed in our ability to change the world. And we did a lot of things.

I think the United States is still the indispensable force for positive change and for rule of law and for order and structure.
