In order to change the direction of this country, we need to change presidents. Americans need a conservative businessman to get this economy moving again, not career politicians. That is why I am running. Next week, I will lay out my specific plan to put America back to work.

The American servicemen and women of the Guard and Reserve leave their jobs, their spouses and their children to wear the uniform that defends our country. This selfless commitment should be honored by businesses across Massachusetts as we work to ensure they are treated fairly while they balance their employment responsibilities and obligations to the armed services. No business should ever put the bottom line ahead of America's front line.

An apology for America's values is never the right course.

I believe in an America where millions of Americans believe in an America that's the America millions of Americans believe in. That's the America I love.

Donald Trump is not the real deal. I think as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio made that very clear.

I absolutely believe that those who come here illegally should not be given favoritism or a special route to becoming permanent residents or citizens that's not given to those people who have stayed in line legally. I just think we have to follow the law, I think that's the right course.

I'm learning to say 'y'all' and, I like grits... Strange things are happening to me.
