Marco Rubio's speech in Sumter, South Carolina, on Pearcy's recent comments on terrorism

Mr. Pearcy mislead my behavior about his comments on terrorism. I was not irate, I was outraged and astonished that Pearcy's doesn't know what it takes to keep America safe.

And now I'm astonished that he is so out of touch when it comes to foreign policy, national security and terrorism.

Let me remind you, Mr. Pearcy, that one of the main reasons why we managed to ensure America's economic growth under President Eisenhower in the 1950s is because of the Peaceful coexistence with the Soviet Union, which reduced the risk of a confrontation between the United States and the USSR. But today, we are living in a very different situation : a situation of growing terrorist threat, of Russian expansionist policy and potential acquisition of nuclear weapons by Iran. This situation is nonsense and it will be chaotic if we don't take action and restore American leadership. President Obama's weak foreign policy allowed this situation for eight years. We are in a time of war, which is far away from the Peaceful coexistence, so we have to accomplish our job to keep America safe, save innocent lives and defeat terrorism.

When it comes to Pearcy's question about the Patriot Act's effectiveness, yes, it accomplished a lot of things for America's security. I got to remind Mr. Pearcy that the Patriot Act allowed intelligence agents to share with FBI criminal investigators evidence that an anonymous letter sent to the FBI had come from an individual with Al Qaeda. That letter began the investigation into an alleged terror cell in Lackawanna, New York, that has resulted in six guilty pleas.

[Applause from audience]

That same information-sharing authority was used against members of an alleged terror cell in Portland, Oregon, that an undercover informant said was preparing for possible attacks against Jewish schools or synagogues. Continued surveillance under the Patriot Act of one suspect led to six others, who likely would have scattered or fled if the first suspect had been arrested right away.

Thanks to Patriot Act, terror financing provisions of the law were used in numerous cases, including charges against a member of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, on charges of being an unlicensed money transmitter. The same authority has been used to prosecute people illegally sending money to Iraq, Yemen, the United Arab Emirates and India.

Powers permitted under the Patriot Act have also been used in investigations involving potential school bomb attacks, computer hackers, child pornography, violent fugitives and illegal weapons sales. In one case, Patriot Act electronic communications authorities allowed law enforcement agencies to identify a person who had sent 200 threatening letters laced with white powder in Lafayette.

Over 40 terror plots, if not more, that were planned to be committed against the United States were foiled since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 thanks to domestic and international cooperation, as well as efforts to track down terror, including the Patriot Act.

So saying, like Mr. Pearcy did, that the Patriot Act did nothing to stop terrorist massacres in America is a lie. And not only it's a lie, but this is also a misunderstanding of foreign policy.

Without the Patriot Act, America will be deprived of the necessary tools to fight terrorism and stop terrorist attacks from being committed on America's territory, which will cost many American lives.

So the choice in this campaign is a third Obama term when it comes to foreign policy that contributed to stronger terrorist threat, decrease of freedom, democracy and security and multiplied terrorist attacks or proven leadership and stronger American leadership that will defeat terrorism through a modernized military, stronger alliances and stronger diplomacy, which will save American lives and innocent lives here and abroad.

The latter option is the best path to America's security and if you want this option, then I am your man, because we can't afford another four years of Barack Obama's weak foreign policy like the last eight years.

Thank you. God bless all the families of victims of terrorism and God bless the United States of America.

[UWS]

I never got my debate questions, and I also want to apologize; I'm super busy and am going to miss this round. Enjoy that boost in poll numbers, Warren and Sanders!

I think you don't have your debate questions because the first Democratic debate was held in October 2015, not in August.

[UWS]

For when is the next turn?

[UWS]

When will the next turn start?

[UWS]

When will the next turn start?

After the debate is finished prob

When all the candidates will have PMed their debate answers to Speaker CXSmith (Labor-MA)?

[UWS]

When will the next turn start?

After the debate is finished prob

When all the candidates will have PMed their debate answers to Speaker CXSmith (Labor-MA)?

Two of our number haven't posted at all, so I doubt they will send debate answers.

Who are these two candidates. Because if these candidates are Ted Cruz and Mitch Daniels, who are not so active, and if they don't post, it would be their problem for their poll standing.

[UWS]

When will the next turn start?

After the debate is finished prob

When all the candidates will have PMed their debate answers to Speaker CXSmith (Labor-MA)?

Two of our number haven't posted at all, so I doubt they will send debate answers.

But, just to be sure, do we have to post our debate answers or must we PM them to the moderator?

Two of our number haven't posted at all, so I doubt they will send debate answers.

But, just to be sure, do we have to post our debate answers or must we PM them to the moderator?

Well,  in rules CXSmith said "The debate schedule will be roughly the same as in real life (if there are multiple debates for one party in one week, I'll just do one debate). During a debate, I will PM each player taking part a set of questions to answer, and each player's debate answers will be in the topic at the start of the next turn", so at least, I think that it is to PM him your answers...

All right, that's what I did. Did you do the same?

[UWS]

Hello.

[UWS]

I think we're still waiting for two people who simply aren't going to send responses in. We really should move on without them.

I totally agree with this idea.

[UWS]

Update?

[UWS]

Update?

I sent him a PM, he didn't answer

So, did I... I think this game is dead, unless we kick Cruz and Daniels out and get a new GM, folks.

No it's not dead. The moderator told me that the next update would come later tonight.

[UWS]

Don't worry. CSX told me that he will update tonight at approximately 11 pm.

[UWS]

I'm ok with what NHI said, but what about the debate?

Yes. We'll do the debate as well.

Including the first Republican presidential primary debate that was held in Cleveland, Ohio?

[UWS]

I'm ok with what NHI said, but what about the debate?

Yes. We'll do the debate as well.

Including the first Republican presidential primary debate that was held in Cleveland, Ohio?

Yes.

So I guess we have to PM you our debate answers. That way you can put them at the topic of the beginning of the next round.

Marco Rubio's schedule August 3-August 16 2015, Part 1

August 3
-Fundraising breakfast at Hyatt Regency Hotel in Cleveland, Ohio
-Bus trip to Columbus, Ohio
-Agricultural speech at Franklin Park Conservatory and Botanical Gardens in Columbus, Ohio
-Meet with college voters at the Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio
-Fundraising event at Southern Theatre in Columbus, Ohio
-Rally with voters at Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Ohio, alongside Ohio Governor John Kasich who announces his endorsement to Senator Rubio :

You know, since 1964, the great state of Ohio has determined the winner of every presidential election. I decided to endorse Senator Marco Rubio because he has the best economic knowledge to grow the economy due to his membership in the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and in the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation and he has the best foreign policy knowledge and judgement to keep us safe reverse Barack Obama's terrible foreign policy record that brought ISIS, Russian dominance in Eastern Europe, a quasi-nuclear Iran and a stronger likeliness of an arms race on the Pacific. This is a record that Joe Biden is promoting as he runs for Obama's third term.

And I endorse Senator Rubio because he is the only Republican candidate in this race who can defeat the Democratic presidential nominee and win on November 2016. He has demonstrated his ability to attract ethnic minority voters, especially Hispanics, as well as young voters, and he will do it again as the nominee of our party. These are both groups we need in order to win the White House. By proposing tax cuts and regulation cuts for our manufacturing industry in order to keep manufacturing jobs in America and create further manufacturing jobs here while promoting free trade to ensure America's competitiveness in the world economy, Marco Rubio will help us to connect with working-class voters, including white working-class voters, thus helping our party to win Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, all states we did not win in the last 30 or 40 years.

[Applause]

Senator Rubio will be the most conservative Republican presidential nominee since Ronald Reagan : he is 100 % pro-life, he is a great defender of the right to own a gun and to ensure self-defense, he is a great champion of freedom of religion, he will promote school-choice to ensure education success for all of our kids, he will cut taxes for all the American people, from the bottom to the top, to give them a stronger purchasing power, he will get America to energy independence by increasing oil drilling and production and diversifying our economy, like I did here as Governor of Ohio, by using a part of revenues from oil to develop renewable energies and it will not be done with borrowed money but with earned money. Senator Rubio will promote free trade in order to get us new consumers around the world and to reduce tariffs, which will make trade easier and help us creating many good-paying jobs here in America, and he will champion businesses of all sizes by abolishing regulations and cutting taxes for business owners, which will prevent them from offshoring overseas and help them to grow, to expand, to innovate, to produce and to hire. Our national debt is now standing at almost 20 trillion dollars. Marco Rubio will balance the budget and reduce our national debt by cutting government spending as well as taxes and also through job creation because the more jobs we create, the more wages will increase and the more it will be easy to balance the budget and reduce the debt.

So with such a conservative Republican presidential nominee like Marco Rubio, all of our party supporters will go to the polls instead of staying home like some of them did in the previous two Election Days which, I think, partially hurt our previous two nominees. That's how we're going to win this election and finally get America back on track for a New American Century.

[Applause]

In addition, we almost never won the presidency without Florida, an important state that almost made Al Gore President in 2000 and is represented in the U.S. Senate by Marco Rubio.

Believe me, Marco Rubio is the one candidate that Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren don't want to face in the general election.

As Governor of the great state of Ohio, the bellwether of every presidential election, I will, during the primaries and in the general election, help Marco Rubio to win Ohio, the state that will make him the next President of the United States of America. He will defend our values, ensure America's permanent economic prosperity through free market solutions, he will keep us safe through a stronger military, stronger diplomacy and stronger alliances and he will keep our country together. All of these are elements of a New American Century.

Thank you, God bless Ohio and God bless the United States of America.

-Meet with voters in Manchester, New Hampshire
-Town hall meeting at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium in Manchester, New Hampshire, during which, due to the rise of Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren in the Democratic primary polls (especially here in New Hampshire), Senator Rubio is asked by a young college student what would be his plan to beat Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren if one of them were to win the Democratic nomination :


Well, first of all, I have respect for Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, but they are adopting European ideas, Swedish ideas that give the government the chance to grab even more of our people's liberty and destroy our hard-earned livelihood that came from hard work of the American people. I know what hard work means because I lived it as well as the American Dream and I was raised paycheck to paycheck.

But in the Democratic primaries, we've got two candidates who say that we should be more like Sweden. We don't want to be Sweden. We want to be the United States of America.

[Applause from the audience]

I've got nothing against Sweden, but I believe in the values that make America an exceptional nation : capitalism, free market and opportunity for all. By withdrawing from trade deals, like Sanders and Warren are suggesting, our competitiveness in the international market will be weaken. There is a way to promote it while keeping manufacturing jobs here in the United States : cutting taxes and regulations for manufacturing businesses in order to make sure that manufacturing workers will decide that America is the best place in the world to work, to open a manufacturing business and to create manufacturing jobs. That's my agenda. Energy independence will come through increased oil drilling that will not only ensure massive job creation but also give us the necessary revenues to develop renewable energies.

And unlike Joe Biden and myself, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren seem to be struggling among ethnic minority voters.

And when it comes to Bernie Sanders, he is running as a Democrat and yet he is opposing gun control while most of the Democratic base is supporting gun control and a violation of the Second Amendment. But I am proud of Bernie Sanders' support to the Second Amendment and the right for self defense.

[Laughs and applause from the audience]

So if Senator Sanders is my opponent in the general election, I think that many traditional supporters of gun control will either stay home instead of going to the polls on Election Day or change allegiance, which, I think, is another factor that will help me to beat Bernie Sanders in the general election.

[Applause from the audience]

New Hampshire's local communities have the highest property taxes in America, which is making New Hampshire residents struggling to find a home here and to earn a fair chance like any other American. So we have to reduce the size of government and cut taxes, including property taxes, to allow our people, including the people of New Hampshire to find a home, to earn property, to earn a fair chance to prosper and to live the American Dream.

August 6
-Flight to Ames, Iowa
-Meet with voters in Ames, Iowa
-Agriculture policy speech at the National Farmers Organization headquarters in Ames, Iowa
-Rally with voters at the Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, where Mike Huckabee is announcing his endorsement to Senator Rubio :

I've known Marco Rubio for many years. Even though I was Governor of Arkansas, I have a residence in his home state of Florida. When I ran for President in 2008, Marco Rubio, who was at that time Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, endorsed my campaign and actively campaigned for me. Now I'm returning the favor by announcing that I endorse Marco Rubio to be the next President of the United States.

He is a constitutional conservative who will protect the Constitution of the United States as well as our values. He will defend the Second Amendment and the right to own a gun to ensure self-defense and fight abortion by defunding Planned Parenthood, thus balancing the budget and making sure that every unborn child will earn the right and the chance to live. Marco Rubio will repeal Obamacare and replace it by a free market version that will lower the size of government, reduce regulations and reduce the cost of health services, which will make healthcare more available for all Americans.

As President, he will protect the First Amendment that is promoting the right to peaceably assemble, the right to petition, freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom of religion. These are all rights that are threatened by terrorists in the Middle East who are committing genocides against local Christian populations, the Kurdish people, etc. And now the Obama administration reached an agreement that lifted sanctions against Iran, which will allow Tehran to get the revenues from the lifting of these sanctions to support international terrorism and to develop nuclear weapons that will destroy Israel and all its enemies. This will be a genocide against the Jewish people. We can't tolerate this. That's why we need Marco Rubio to be elected as the 45th President of the United States. He will restore economic and diplomatic sanctions against Iran to stop deprive Tehran of the revenues needed to build nuclear weapons and to sponsor terrorism. He will reinforce our alliances and our military to make us able to defeat ISIS and international terrorism. It will not only keep us safe but also defend democracy, justice and freedom of religion.

Thank you. God bless America.

-Meet with voters in Janesville, Iowa with Joni Ernst and Mike Huckabee
-Fundraising event at the Janesville Public Library in Janesville, Iowa
-Health care policy speech in Janesville, Iowa, where Senator Rubio unveils his healthcare plan :

To help more of our people achieve the American Dream, we need to make affordable, quality healthcare accessible in the 21st century. Unfortunately, President Barack Obama’s one-size-fits-all, big government approach has failed to achieve this goal. Since ObamaCare’s passage, many Americans have seen the law transition from a political mess to a personal disaster. Some have lost access to their doctors or the insurance plans they were happy with. Many have been forced to pay higher premiums and higher deductibles. Others have lost their jobs or had their hours cut. And the American economy as a whole has labored under the negative effects of Obamacare’s $1.2 trillion tax hike.

A law that was sold on the claim that it would lower healthcare costs has instead caused them to dramatically increase for many American families. Now, a new IRS regulation could force small businesses to pay fines of over $36,000 per employee per year if they choose to make a financial contribution to their employees’ health coverage.

ObamaCare is fatally flawed not just because it is poorly constructed, but because it relies on the outdated philosophy that the federal government can solve our problems through more spending, more taxes, more regulations, and more bureaucrats. The American people have been forced to be the test subjects of President Obama’s one-size-fits-all, big-government experiment, and have paid dearly for it.

For all of these reasons and more, I have fought against ObamaCare since I got to the U.S. Senate. I led the charge to stop its taxpayer-funded bailouts of the insurance industry and, fortunately, was successful in blocking them from taking place this year. But more must be done, and when I am president, repealing and replacing ObamaCare will be an urgent priority of my administration. Instead of relying on an outdated, big-government approach, I will utilize modern, consumer-centered reforms that lower costs, embrace innovation in healthcare and actually increase choices and improve quality of care.

My health care reform plan includes three primary components :

First, I will work with Congress to create an advanceable, refundable tax credit that all Americans can use to purchase health insurance. The value of these credits should increase every year, and we should set the tax preference for employer-sponsored insurance on a glide path to ensure that it will equal the level of the credits within a decade. This will prevent large-scale disruptions and reform a provision in our tax code that has been driving up health costs, hurting those who are self-employed and preventing Americans from having truly portable health insurance plans that travel with them regardless of where they work.

Second, I will reform insurance regulations to lower costs, encourage innovation, and protect the vulnerable. Those with pre-existing conditions should have access to affordable care through mechanisms such as federally-supported, actuarially-sound and state-based high risk pools. Americans should be able to purchase coverage across state lines so they can seek out affordable coverage regardless of where they live. And consumer-centered products like Health Savings Accounts should be encouraged and expanded. Finally, under no circumstances should taxpayers be asked to bail out an insurance company that loses money, as is currently the case under ObamaCare.

Third, I will take up the difficult work of saving and strengthening Medicare and Medicaid by placing them on fiscally-sustainable paths. Without reforms, these programs will eventually run out of money. We must move Medicaid into a per-capita block grant system, preserving funding for its recipients while freeing states from Washington mandates. While current seniors on Medicare, like my mother, should see no changes to the program, future generations should be transitioned into a premium support system. A premium support model will empower seniors with choice and market competition just like Medicare Advantage and Medicare Part D already do.

While other measures may be necessary to undo the damage done by ObamaCare, I believe these three concepts are the core of a plan to lower costs and put patients and families back in control of their healthcare decisions. Unlike ObamaCare, my reforms will not be forced through Congress in the dark of night without accountability. They will not stretch the Constitution to its breaking point or rely on questionable Supreme Court decisions to survive. And, perhaps most importantly, they will not raise taxes on the American people.

Obamacare’s failures should be all the proof Washington needs that the time has come for a new direction—one that empowers the American consumer, expands choices, and reduces the role of the federal government in healthcare. It’s time to set a new precedent in Washington by sending a new president to Washington. I believe I have the experience and vision necessary to improve our healthcare system and make this the next American century.

-Foreign policy speech at Marine Corps Air Station Beach in Beaufort, South Carolina, in reaction to the terrorist attack committed by ISIS in Suruç, Turkey :

Two weeks ago, ISIS attacked one of our most strategic allies in our fight against terrorism : Turkey. A suicide bombing attack committed by ISIS killed 34 people and injured 104 others in Suruç. Then, Turkey decided to take real action against ISIS by leading airstrikes against this terrorist group. They are not alone because we are fighting ISIS along with them. Despite differences between Turks, Kurds and Sunnis, I think the strategy has to involve more coordination with the Kurds and also with Sunnis, because you're not going to defeat ISIS, a radical Sunni movement, without a robust anti-ISIS Sunni coalition. That's why we need to arm pro-American Kurd and Sunni fighters in order to help them fighting radical Islamic terrorists more effectively. So, I do think it's important tactical step forward. It needs to be backed up with increased airstrikes and so forth.

It's through stronger American leadership, stronger American military and stronger alliances that we will defeat ISIS and other radical Islamic terrorist groups. Radical terrorist groups are not just in Syria and in Iraq, ISIS is now in Libya. They have a significant presence in Libya, Afghanistan, and a growing presence in Pakistan. Soon they will be in Turkey. They will try Jordan. They will try Saudi Arabia. They are coming to us. They don't hate us simply because we support Israel. They hate us because of our values. They hate us because our girls go to school. They hate us because women drive in the United States. They hate us because we support freedom of religion and freedom of speech. So we don't have a choice. Either they win or we win.

Thank you. God bless America.

I am proud to be chairing at the House Benghazi Committee, thus making a contribution to integrity, justice and security.

I am so glad that Hillary Clinton didn't run because she was already disqualified to be President. But even then, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have failed to restore freedom and security in Libya after Qaddafi's fall. Libya is in chaos. Hillary Clinton is accountable for this and much more. Her dereliction of duty and failure to keep her people safe played a major role in the horrific Islamic terrorist murders on September 11-12, 2012 in Benghazi which claimed the lives of four brave Americans. For political reasons, the Obama administration lied about the purpose of the attacks, including their lying directly to the families of those who were killed. Hillary Clinton's answer to Congress about the death of these four brave Americans because of her failures as Secretary of State was "what difference at this point does it make?" It makes the difference that America's leadership and security are in danger and that the Obama administration, including Joe Biden, don't have the courage to fix this situation.

As President, Marco Rubio will do the exact opposite of what Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton did. He will, without hesitation, call the enemy by his name : radical Islamic terrorism. He will reinforce our security measures, modernize our military and strengthen our alliances, which will allow us to eradicate radical Islamic terrorism and to save American lives here and abroad.

Thank you, God bless our brave ambassadors and God bless America.

These policies have been criticized for violating the human right of determining the size of one's own family. I believe it's a reason why abortion should not be tolerated in the United States.

Abortion is murder. It really is as simple as that, ending the life of a child is not an acceptable consequence for you making bad sexual decisions. This is something I find outrageous : Democrats support regular abortion as well as partial birth abortion where the baby can be halfway out of the womb and the mother can still decide that she doesn’t want it and the doctor smashes in the skull of the child and vacuums out its brain. Abortion is one of the reasons that I am so proud to be a conservative.

Marco Rubio has the best experience and leadership to grow the U.S. Economy and has always opposed every form of measure including tax increases. As President, he will cut taxes for all the American people, thus reinforcing their American Dream, he will cut taxes and regulations for businesses, including small businesses, which will increase their ability to start, to grow, to expand, to produce and to create jobs. That's why we are proud to give our endorsement to Marco Rubio for the sake of a stronger freedom, a stronger economy and a stronger prosperity.

Marco Rubio Campaign Ad

Marco Rubio's presidential campaign broadcasts a T.V. ad about Rubio's plan to create economic opportunities for Hispanics.

The ad titled « Hispanics for Prosperity » airs in Nevada, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, Illinois, Arizona, Utah, Colorado, New York and New Mexico both in English and Spanish.

« Hispanics for Prosperity » advertisement narration (English version) :

The Obama Administration has been ineffective when it comes to ensure permanent job creation for the American people, including Hispanics. We need to give Hispanics the opportunity to learn English while maintaining their language and cultural heritage in order to open up economic opportunities for them, because I believe we should not close these opportunities for any of our fellow citizens because their first language is another one than English. School choice will give positive results to Hispanics : lower education costs for families, including immigrant families living paycheck to paycheck, production of higher outcomes, in contrast to public education. It allow parents guide their children out of poorly-performing schools assigned by zip code and grant them better education elsewhere. It will expand opportunities for low-income students—notably minorities—to attend high-quality schools that would otherwise be accessible only to high-income families, thus giving them a fair chance of success and an easier path to the workforce.



By promoting free trade with Latin America, we will give our businesses, including Hispanic small businesses in the United States thanks to language opportunities and their fluency in Spanish and English, new opportunities to innovate, to increase their competitiveness, to get new consumers by giving them access to American products, to create jobs in our country and ensure their business' expansion. Thanks to their bilingualism, Hispanics will be dominant among the importers, exporters, translators and executives who ensure such a cultural and commercial exchange. And like I said, our innovation and competition capacity comes from our open markets as well as our constant quest for new markets.



Thanks to my pro-growth agenda to open economic opportunities for Hispanics and create jobs for them, this large community will earn the same opportunities as any other American, because America is the land where everything is possible for all Americans from the bottom to the top.

I'm Marco Rubio and I approve this message.

« Los hispanos para la prosperidad » advertisement narration (Spanish version) :

El Obama Administración ha sido ineficaz a la hora de crear puestos de trabajo para el pueblo estadounidense, incluyendo a los hispanos. Tenemos que dar a los hispanos la oportunidad de aprender Inglés, manteniendo su lengua y su patrimonio cultural con el fin de abrir nuevas oportunidades económicas para ellos, porque creo que no debemos cerrar estas oportunidades para cualquiera de nuestros conciudadanos, ya que su primer idioma es otro que Inglés. La elección de escuela dará resultados positivos a los hispanos: los costos de educación más bajos para las familias, incluyendo las familias de inmigrantes de cheque a cheque, la producción de los resultados más altos, por el contrario viven a la educación pública. Se permite a los padres a guiar a sus hijos de las escuelas-funcionando mal asignados por el código postal y les otorgan una mejor educación en otros lugares. Se ampliará las oportunidades para los estudiantes -en particular las minorías de bajos ingresos, para asistir a escuelas de alta calidad que de otro modo sólo será accesible a las familias de altos ingresos, lo que les da una oportunidad razonable de éxito y un camino más fácil a la fuerza de trabajo.



Al promover el libre comercio con América Latina, vamos a dar a nuestros negocios, incluyendo las pequeñas empresas hispanas en los Estados Unidos gracias a las oportunidades de idiomas y su fluidez en español e inglés, nuevas oportunidades para innovar, para aumentar su competitividad, para llegar a nuevos consumidores, dando a tener acceso a los productos estadounidenses, para crear puestos de trabajo en nuestro país y garantizar su expansión. Gracias a su bilingüismo, los hispanos será dominante entre los importadores, los exportadores, los traductores y los ejecutivos que garanticen un intercambio, cultural y comercial. Y como he dicho, nuestra capacidad de innovación y la competencia proviene de nuestros mercados abiertos, así como nuestra constante búsqueda de nuevos mercados.



Gracias a mi agenda pro-crecimiento para abrir oportunidades económicas para los hispanos y crear puestos de trabajo para ellos, esta gran comunidad ganará las mismas oportunidades que cualquier otro americano, porque Estados Unidos es la tierra donde todo es posible para todos los estadounidenses de abajo hacia arriba.

Soy Marco Rubio y apruebo este mensaje.

Thank you New Hampshire.

Time has come to put an end to a quarter-century of big government and to encourage free market and free enterprise in order to promote economic freedom, competitiveness and economic prosperity.

I spent 25 years in the private sector and I know what it takes to get small business growing, to create jobs and to make America working again to make it the best place in the world to open a new business. Marco Rubio lived the American Dream and he understands the meaning of hard-working. He's a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. He understands what it takes to grow the economy, to create jobs and to ensure permanent economic prosperity in America.

Marco Rubio lived the American Dream and he understands the meaning of hard-working. He's a member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and of the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation. He understands what it takes to grow the economy, to create jobs and to ensure permanent economic prosperity in America. That's why I endorse Senator Marco Rubio to be the next President of the United States.

[Applause from the audience]

He will do so by cutting taxes for all the American people and by leading us to energy independence through taking full advantage of our oil and coal and gas and nuclear and renewables. As President of the United States, Marco Rubio will give our fellow citizens the skills they need for the jobs of today and the careers of tomorrow. When it comes to the school your child will attend, every parent should have a choice, and every child should have a chance. President Marco Rubio will make trade work for America by forging new trade agreements. Just like me, he knows that job creation will increase wages, which will help us to reduce our deficit and to balance the budget. President Rubio will champion businesses of all sizes, including small business, America's engine of job growth. He will reduce the cost of doing business in America, which will make America the best place in the world to start a new business.

He will defend with ardour America's status as the strongest economy in the world and he will restore the American Dream on the land of opportunity.

Thank you. God bless America.

I'm the wife of an Iraq War veteran and former A-10 pilot who flew combat missions in Iraq and fought terrorism with pure patriotism. Now he's the owner of a snow plow business here in Merrimack, creating jobs and pursuing happiness in his quest for the American Dream. I understand the values that make America a safe, strong and prosperous nation : strong national defense, solidarity, free market and opportunity. And I am proud to defend these values in the United States Senate alongside my colleague Marco Rubio.

Marco is the best candidate to grow make our economy strong and to make America's national security strong. He will cut taxes to allow a stronger purchasing power for all Americans and to help businesses to start, to expand, to create jobs and to succeed. By promoting oil drilling here in America and getting our country to energy independence, President Rubio will not only ensure job creation and American advantage on all of America's sources of energies but also deprive terrorists of the necessary revenues to organize terrorist attacks and deprive Iran of the necessary funds to develop nuclear weapons that would strike us, attack our allies and destroy Israel. By modernizing our military and strengthening our alliances, he will lead us to victory against radical Islamic terrorism. Marco Rubio has all the experience to accomplish this agenda and that's why I support him for the presidency of the United States.

Thank you. God bless you, God bless New Hampshire and God bless America.

-Meet with voters in Boston, Massachusetts
-Rally with voters in Boston, Massachusetts with Mitt Romney who gave a speech promoting Marco Rubio's presidential candidacy :

When I became Governor of Massachusetts, 87 % of the legislators were Democrats. I did not demonize them and I didn't demagogue them. Time and time again, I brought Republicans and Democrats together in order to put partisanship aside and to get things done for the good of Massachusetts. Thanks to this leadership, I found common ground and balanced the budget four times without raising taxes and we provided health insurance for Massachusetts.

Now we have a chance to elect a President who will bring Republicans, Democrats and Independents together in order to get things done and ensure a bright future for America, but this time in Washington. Marco Rubio will get us to energy independence without hurting the environment by increasing oil drilling, using a part of oil revenues to invest into the development of renewable energies. We all know, no matter our party affiliation, that everyone should have access to education, which means reducing the cost of getting education. Marco Rubio knows this and that's why he will promote school choice which will cost families, including these immigrant families living paycheck to paycheck, less and produce higher outcomes compared to public education. It will grant parents the power to orientate their children out of poorly-performing schools assigned by zip code and look for better education elsewhere. It will expand opportunities for low-income students—especially minorities—to attend high-quality schools that would otherwise be accessible only to higher-income families, thus increasing their chances of success and of entry into the workforce.

That's why Marco Rubio will be the President of all Americans whether they are Republicans, Democrats or Independents just like I was Governor of all Massachusettsians.

Thank you, God bless the United States of America.
