The promise of America has always been that if you worked hard, had the right values, took some risks, that there was an opportunity to build a better life for your family and for your next generation.

I'm a strong believer in stating your position and not wavering.

The American culture promotes personal responsibility, the dignity of work, the value of education, the merit of service, devotion to a purpose greater than self, and at the foundation, the pre-eminence of family.

If I am elected President of these United States, I will work with all my energy and soul to restore that America, to lift our eyes to a better future. That future is our destiny. That future is out there. It is waiting for us. Our children deserve it, our nation depends upon it, the peace and freedom of the world require it.

Those who have come to the United States illegally should not be given amnesty or an easier path to citizenship over those already in line.

Ok to appoint atheists or agnostics-no litmus test of faith.

There's no question raising the minimum wage excessively causes a loss of jobs.
