Mr. President, you were elected to lead. You chose to follow. And now it's time for you to get out of the way.

Our nation is too different, too diverse to say that what works in Massachusetts is somehow going to be grabbed by the federal government, usurping the power of states and imposing a one-size-fits-all plan on the nation. That will not work.

I'd like to be the next president of the United States to support and help this great nation and to make sure that we all together remain America as the hope of the earth.

China is stealing our intellectual property, our patents, our designs, our technology, hacking into our computers, counterfeiting our goods.

I'm Mitt Romney-and yes Wolf, that's also my first name.

I'm a family guy. Most important thing in my life by far is my relationship with my wife and my sons, daughters-in-law, and 18 grandchildren. And for me, this is all about them.

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.
