I'm not going to suggest to a delegate at what they ought to do.

From my standpoint, I want to work with homeland security, justice to make sure that U.S. citizens' vote is not diluted.

People win elections based on having the right ideas, the right plans, like my seven step plan for 700,000 jobs. That's what wins elections.

I have recommended cutting the tax on cell phones and TVs for every Florida family so they can save around $43 a year for spending as little as $100 a month on cell phone and TV bills combined.

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.

As Americans, we don't see the role of government as guaranteeing outcomes, but allowing free men and women to flourish based on their own vision, their hard work and their personal responsibility.

But if you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they've been brought there by no fault of their own, I don't think you have a heart. We need to be educating these children, because they will become a drag on our society.

Conservatives are winning offices, and champions of big government are cleaning out their desks right now.

Our shared conservative values, our belief in the individual is the great hope of our nation.

We need to stop apologizing for celebrating life. We need to stop apologizing for wanting to protect an individual's right to build a business.

Obama is a president, who I think is anti-jobs.

Texas created more jobs in 2008 than the rest of the states - combined.

I didn't say I was running, did I?

Under Obama, our federal tax dollars can now be used to fund abortion all over the world. With the stroke of a pen, abortion essentially became a U.S. foreign export.

According to a study by Achieve Incorporated, Texas is the first state to make a college-prep curriculum the standard coursework in high school, starting with this year's ninth grade class.

And I have a message for the liberals and the defenders of the status quo: we're just getting started.

You see, as Americans we're not defined by class, and we will never be told our place. What makes our nation exceptional is that anyone, from any background, can climb the highest of heights.

In the myopic world of the liberals, guns are responsible for evil instead of the perpetrator of evil. But criminals are not bound by our laws. That's what makes them criminals.

It is through states that the American people get the job done every day, often in spite of a deeply flawed bureaucratic federal government.

In Michigan, a liberal democrat raised taxes and kept their government programs at the same level. And guess what? Their economy continued into the toilet, it continued down.

We know there is no such thing as freedom without the risk of failure.

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

Americans want government that is leaner, more efficient, and less intrusive into their personal lives.

I don't think Obama understands basic economics. Not economics that work. He may understand some theory that someone in Princeton sat and dreamed up, but it's not working.
