Whether you're a Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, it is clear that we've got big problems that we need to address, starting with making our economy more competitive so that we can create more good-paying jobs for the middle class.

Not only must we fight to end disastrous unfettered free trade agreements with China, Mexico, and other low wage countries, we must fight to fundamentally rewrite our trade agreements so that American products, not jobs, are our number one export.

Small business owners are fighting every day to create and innovate, but continue to face government barriers to job creation.

The biggest single challenge to America and our future is income inequality. We've got to fix it.

We are a people trying not only to solve the problems of the present: unemployment, inflation... but we are attempting on a larger scale to fulfill the promise of America.

I am fighting vigorously for less spending, less waste and limited government. I strongly believe that the more government grows, the less freedom Americans have.

I'm fighting for small businesses. I'm not fighting for big oil. Don't be confused. And there are thousands of businesses in this state that are at great risk. Meanwhile, the country keeps guzzling the oil, but we're out of work down here. We need to get back to work to build this region, and we intend to do so.

We must work for a solution to address the senseless cuts that hurt our border, our economy, and our country.

We know that working with small businesses to create jobs will do more to help our economy than anything the Obama Administration has tried to do.

We've got people, our friends and neighbors, who are losing their jobs, factories being closed. We have to get America moving again.
