Today in Tampa, Florida, I shared my vision for a new direction in America and detailed the kind of bold leadership it will take to move this country forward. America needs a leader. I am running for President of the United States because I believe that I can lead America into a new era with bold optimism, determination, and distinctly American solutions. I have been Tested. I am Ready. And the time for proven leadership is Now.
Tested
The next four years will present our country with daunting challenges. America needs a President with bold vision who can unite the country and lead by getting results. Some people look at the challenges we face as a nation and they fear the future. I welcome it. With eight years of experience leading the world's 17th largest economy, I know how to solve problems people once thought impossible.
I took a $2.3 billion deficit and turned it into a multi-billion surplus. I transformed the nation's crime capital into the safest large city in America by cutting crime by 60%. I slashed welfare rolls by 640,000 because it's better to give people a hand up than a hand out. These experiences make me the only candidate ready to lead this country forward.
Ready
Few people understand the challenges facing America today. We have to stay on offense in the Terrorists' War on Us. We must prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. We have to end illegal immigration and secure our borders. To ensure that our economy stays strong and continues to create jobs, we need to cut taxes and reduce bureaucratic red tape. Americans are finding it increasingly difficult to purchase health care, so we must revolutionize our health care system by injecting free-market solutions to make health care more affordable for all Americans.
Our economy is becoming increasingly dependent on foreign sources of oil and as a matter of national security and environmental stewardship, I am committed to leading America toward energy independence. America stands at a crossroads in history. United and strong we can take a giant step forward, or divided and weak we can take a step back.
Now
The time is now for a new direction in America. For too long, Washington has been crippled by partisan gridlock. I know how to bring people together to get things done. As President, I will reach out across the aisle and work together with Democrats to solve big problems. Politics is about more than campaign promises; it's about getting results. Results for you. Results for your family. Results for a better tomorrow.
The greatness of America lies in the spirit and character of her people. And with your help, there is nothing America can't do together. We can decide America's direction. We determine America's future.
