As a candidate for Senate, I look forward to offering reforms based on limited government principles that will make our country stronger and more prosperous.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I am considering running for Senate, as well as other opportunities.
Reform is not for the short-winded. I'm committed to making sure the Senate is more than just a graveyard for good ideas.
If the Senate can't perform its most basic responsibilities, I worry about how we're going to make the tough decisions and do the hard work that will be necessary to get our country on a path to fiscal solvency.
I'm running for senator because it's time for a change.
For many years I have advocated 'redesigning Parliament' in a variety of ways - elect the Senate, do away with the 'confidence convention,' permit freer voting, strengthen the role of back benchers and committees, do away with ineffectual 'take note' debates, restructure question period, and so on.
In the United States Senate, we cannot do great things without reaching across the aisle and working together - and I look forward to the challenges ahead.
Some of my colleagues seem more interested in using every procedural method possible to keep the Senate from doing anything than they are in creating jobs or helping Americans struggling in a difficult economy.
I push reforms. I tell the truth to people, even when it's tough for the country.
If you want a senator who'll partner with the president to do what's best for the nation, I'm your guy.
Improving some of the rules under which the Senate functions can begin to replace some of the bad habits Washington has developed with better ones.
