One of the reasons that Im running for president is I want to make sure that every young man and woman who puts on the uniform of the United States respects highly the president of the United States.

I am also the product of a place called Paint Creek. Doesn't have a zip code. It's too small to be called a town along the rolling plains of Texas. We grew dryland cotton and wheat, and when I wasn't farming or attending Paint Creek Rural School, I was generally over at Troop 48 working on my Eagle Scout award.

When the good lord calls you home, the government ought not come get your home.

As Americans, we realize that there is no taxpayer money that wasn't first earned through the sweat and toil of one of our citizens.

Spreading the wealth punishes success while setting America on course for a greater dependency on government.

In America, the people are not subjects of government, the government is subject to the people.

Let's stand up. Let's speak with pride about our morals and our values and redouble our effort to elect more conservative Republicans.
