I want to serve my country, but not necessarily in the political arena.

I want what's best for our country. I'm not sure I can figure that out.

Let me do what I do best. And that's to run and represent my country and make my country proud.

I think there are many ways to serve your country.

My view is that I'm best able to serve my state and my country where I am.

A lot of people have said to me, 'That's a great idea, running for president. You'll get booked for more speeches. You can write a book.'

My responsibility is to ask, 'How can I serve my ideology and my voters?'

My position has always been that the House of Representatives does not take reservations. It's walk-in only.

Let each one of us say, 'I am an American. I intend to stay an American. I will do my best to wipe from my heart hate, rancor and political prejudice. I will sustain my government. And, through good days or bad, I will try to serve my country.'

I reserve the right to survey the national political landscape for candidates at all levels who reflect a proper understanding of our national security, economic security, and family security - the ideals of social conservation, the heart and strength of our country.
