Our national motto is 'In God we Trust,' reminding us that faith in our Creator is the most important American value of all.

I think what we need to do is understand our number one obligation is to act in the national interest of the United States of America.

In politics, people throw around the word 'friend' so much it often has little real meaning. This is not one of those times, when I call Jeb Bush my friend, I mean he is someone I like, care for and respect. He and I have worked closely together for many years, on issues big and small. He is a passionate advocate for what he believes, and I welcome him to the race.
