I believe very firmly in the principle of free agency - people making their own decisions and doing what they think is right.

I believe that the faith heritage of this country is actually a very important part of America's culture.

This President takes his inspiration from the capitals of Europe; we look to the cities and small towns of America. This President puts his faith in government. We put our faith in the American people.

This is a time of great challenges for America, and I pray that the president will be successful in guiding our nation.

Let me tell you, the heart of my tax proposal: I will not raise taxes on the American people. I will not raise taxes on middle-income Americans.

If I'm president, America will be very strong.

I believe that as people will look at me, they'll see a person who has dealt with a number of very difficult and challenging circumstances and that I have been able to successfully navigate through those and create greater strength and greater opportunity. I believe that people recognize that I'm someone who has confidence in America's cause.
