I saw my father march with Martin Luther King.

Religious liberty is the first freedom in our Constitution. And whether the cause is justice for the persecuted, compassion for the needy and the sick, or mercy for the child waiting to be born, there is no greater force for good in the nation than Christian conscience in action.

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

I will promote savings and investment by maintaining the 15% rate on capital gains and dividends. I will eliminate the tax entirely for those with annual income below $200,000.

You can't have 23 million people struggling to get a job. You can't have an economy that over the last three years keeps slowing down its growth rate.

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