Hard work and education will take you farther than any government program can ever promise.

Hard work and education will take you farther than any government program can ever promise.

The America I know is great - not because government made it great but because ordinary citizens like me, like my father and like you are given the opportunity every day to do extraordinary things.

Mr. President I am here to tell you we are not buying what you are selling in 2012.

President Obama's version of America is a divided one - pitting us against each other based on our income level, gender, and social status. His policies have failed! We are not better off than we were 4 years ago, and no rhetoric, bumper sticker, or campaign ad can change that.

The government is not your salvation. The government is not your road to prosperity. Hard work, education will take you far beyond what any government program can ever promise.

Difficult things aren't easy, but they're worth it.
