Our workers, our American people who are already struggling, are going to continue to struggle until we can get somebody who can bring some business sense to Washington D.C., and I think that is the one thing I bring.

When American workers are losing their jobs to people in other countries, Washington cannot afford to ignore this disturbing trend any longer. While Democratic presidential candidates want to just blame U.S. corporations, the reality is that their strategy won't help protect American workers or save their jobs.

Throughout the 40 years I've been in Washington, I've always worked hard, particularly with regards to the budget issues.

Washington has become this place that people don't leave. It has become this permanent feudal class.

Job creators should be able to focus on their work - not on Washington's busy-work.

We are in a movement that must not fade away. The bosses are you. The people in Washington are public servants, and they serve you.

Washington is not a city that takes great pride in being a healthy place, necessarily. Now, I have no data. That's just my own observation.

Everything we do is very, very touched by what happens in Washington.

In the end, we may be hurting the very people we should be concerned about - the inner-city poor, those who already have to live with many risks in their daily lives, those who do not have clout here in Washington.
