I am a fighter. I’m not just there to go along and get along.

We’re running out of rich people in this country.

After the $700 billion bailout, the trillion-dollar stimulus, and the massive budget bill with over 9,000 earmarks, many of you implored Washington to please stop spending money we don’t have. But, instead of cutting, we saw an unprecedented explosion of government spending and debt, unlike anything we have seen in the history of our country.

I come here as one of you – an Iowan!

It isn’t that I was born thinking I had to be president. I’m getting a lot of encouragement to run from people across the country. I don’t believe this is a rash decision.

All of the problems we’re facing with debt are manmade problems. We created them. It’s called fantasy economics. Fantasy economics only works in a fantasy world. It doesn’t work in reality.

We need a strong, bold constitutional conservative who won’t back down and who will fight for the values we believe in. That’s what we need for our nominee, whether it is me or whether it is someone else.

I’ve given birth to five babies and I breastfed every single one of these babies. To think that government has to go out and buy my breast pump for my babies. You wanna talk about the nanny state? I think we just got the new definition of a nanny.

It would be fun to have someone in the White House who has worked in the private sector… and someone who understands that wealth creation is a good thing and they want more of it. Wealth is good.

I am a fighter. I’m not just there to go along and get along.

If we want to kill Obamacare and we want to end socialized medicine, it must be done in the next election!

I come from a modest background. I put myself through college and law school and a postdoctorate program in tax law.
