2012 Election Game: Campaign Thread

TV Ad: Can't Be Stopped

They tried to silence him in the last debate. The attacks are relentless. But Jesse Ventura has gone through challenges and has overcome them time and time again. As a Navy SEAL, he served his country when it needed him most. The Republicans and Democrats outspent him in Minnesota by millions and he emerged the victor. Jesse has been a tireless advocate for the working class, where his roots are. No one can buy him off. As President, he'll work every day to root out corruption, revive the limping economy, and restore the Bill of Rights. Jesse Ventura: the people's voice. I'm Jesse Ventura, and I approve this message.

Also to be played as a radio ad nationwide.

"Angelenos, Californians, Americans in general!

Next week you'll make the most important choice of the year! You have three clear models: the socialist one, ruling the country today, the politics-as-usual represented by Mrs. Ayotte, which promotes imperialism and the culture of war, and... the right choice in the person of Jesse Ventura, a man whom I know. A man that will do everything on his hands to improve the lifes of every Americans, specially those tired with the status quo, who feel the Government is too big and wastes too much money in failed policies and failed wars. So, be brave next week. There's an opportunity of electing an independent-minded candidate, a opportunity we had for the last time 20 years ago with Ross Perot!

Perot was leading in some polls in 1992. Many of you were supporting Perot before switching back to Clinton or Bush. Now, it's time to think about that election and question yourselves if things are working as Clinton, Bush, and now Obama promised. Don't vote Obama, don't vote Ayotte. Vote different! Vote Ventura/Johnson this time!!!!"

"In less than a week we will be electing the first truly independent President since George Washington!! Isn't that great news?? Hurray!!!

I'll tell you something: I had the opportunity to meet Jesse Ventura when he was running for Governor, 14 years ago. You know, he was an honest, hard-working man who wanted the best for his state. I had the opportunity to meet him several times after he left Minnesota Governor's mansion. He felt he hadn't had the support of MN House and Senate to promote a new way of governing. So that's why I ask you to vote for independents, libertarians and moderates,no matter if they're republicans or democrats (I've worked with many of them in the House and I can say that some of them actually care for the people). President Ventura will need some Congresspeople supporting his Agenda, so don't forget that behind the Presidential ballot there are many other down ballot races where we need your vote!!!!"

"Today I am here, right in the place where I think this all began: Arizona!!

My father, who represented this state for 30 years in the Senate, is an inspiration for the movement Jesse Ventura revitalized when he decided to run this year. We all know his running mate mentions Barry Goldwater sr. a lot in his speeches. The Paul family is the Goldwater family 2.0. Those who liked Goldwaters and haven't discovered the potential of the Pauls yet, please let me tell you that they're as good as our family when it comes to principles and ideals.

We are here in Paradise Valley today, the place where Barry Goldwater Sr. is buried. I am so proud of being his son that you can't even imagine...

Arizona, I know Jesse Ventura hasn't invested time here, because he thinks the state is very unlikely to vote for him. I have to disagree with him. This is the only state outside of the South that voted for my dad over Lyndon Johnson. If every person who voted for him in 1972 votes for Ventura today, and if the sons and daughters of these people vote for Ventura today, Arizona will go to the Ventura column, the only column that can get America back to prosperity!!"

"Hi, Montana!

Here we are, just 20 minutes away from the border with Wyoming!

Montana and Wyoming, but specially Montana, have a tradition of "going rogue" and electing independent-minded republicans and democrats. Two states with a Libertarian-ish streak.
Unfortunately, since 1984, we haven't seen democrats and republicans nominating the kind of person you vote in State elections. However, yoiu have a great candidate in Jesse Ventura, who represents the ideals you want to see in Washington D.C.! Even if he's running by his own, without labels, he has a great opportunity to win, believe me. If you, if Americans vote with the heart, Ventura wins. If Americans vote with the brain, Ventura wins. Don't make fool decisions: if you like Ventura, vote for him!!"

"Minden, Nevada. What a beautiful place to live in, I'm amazed.

Nevada's rural counties, along with California's, Arizona's and many other states... Beautiful counties and towns that both republicans and democrats have forgotten about. You may ask yourselves why. There's only one reason: there's not a lot of population here and republicans know they have your vote, while democrats have given up on trying to convince you to vote for them... So, what do we have now? Counties, towns, villages... were no federal money comes to because you aren't worth many votes. That's unfair. And that'll stop happening once Jesse Ventura becomes President. So, I'm asking for your vote tomorrow for the Ventura/Paul ticket. Democrats and republicans alike think your votes don't make the difference. Let's prove them wrong. Ventura is winning Nevada, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, California, New Mexico, Arizona... With the help of rural counties!!! You make the decision tomorrow!

Vote different, vote Jesse Ventura!"

"It's nice to be in Aroostook county today, it really is.

You know I am running for Senate. I feel very confident about my chances, to be honest. Thank you for supporting my candidacy. I promise to represent you the best I can, as I did as Governor, if I'm elected Senator next month.

Today I'm here in Aroostook, but not to talk about me. I've been here several times before to talk about me, but what I want roday is to make a case for Jesse Ventura. Northern Maine has a large native population, and do you know what republicans and democrats have done to improve the life conditions of the natives? NOTHING! I tried to improve your lifes, my fellow Natives, when I was Governor. I promise to stand by you when I'm elected Senator, and I know Jesse Ventura cares for you, too. He will really make the difference once he's elected President. He did it when he was Governor of Minnesota, and he will do it as President!"

"Now that I think about it... Maine and Minnesota are very similar! Two states that enjoy voting for independents or 3rd party... sometimes. Two states that share borders with Canada. Two states that skew left. And two states where Jesse Ventura is going to win next week!!

If you think I was a good Governor, then vote for Jesse Ventura. We used to talk a lot when we were Governors, I copied some of his policies and so did him. We were the only two independents governing a state in the USA for some time. We became close friends. And that's why I know he'll make a very good President. Keep in mind that I'll be the one supporting him in the Senate if both of us win. And that may be a very good thing for Maine, don't you think?"

Now let's talk a bit about policy. If you want real freedom, and not just what we have now, vote Ventura: freedom to bear arms, freedom to marry the person you love, freedom to do whatever you want to without the Government knowing... Candidates on one side or the other support some of these ideas, but only one supports them all: Jesse Ventura!!"

"I'm proud to say that me and my family will be casting our votes for someone we got to know, someone who isn't afraid to say things as he sees them. I may disagree on some issues with Jesse Ventura, but at least I can tell you that when he talks, he says what he really feels and not what advisors, lobbies or big companies want him to say. That's not something I can say about Kelly Ayotte or Barack Obama, unfortunately...

Maine is a state where Jesse Ventura has spent a lot of time this year. But he wasn't the only one visiting Maine. If I recall, Paul has been here more than once. Some others of his campaign have been here. Jesse Ventura's campaign is, by far, the one who has paid the most attention to Maine. And that's something we have to remember when we get to cast our ballots at our polling centre!"

"Education and Health care. Two issues where New Hampshire is very good at. A history of electing moderates to key positions, your own personaility and that independents are the biggest group among voters may be the reasons behind that.

But you made a big mistake in electing Kelly Ayotte in 2010, New Hampshire. I'm sure most of you who voted for her 2 years ago regret having done so today. Only a year after being sworn in as Senator she declared her candidacy for President!!! Has that ever happened before?? Too much ambition and not enough will to work for the inhabitants of this great state, that's Kelly Ayotte. And Obama isn't the solution to Ayotte, either. Just take a look at what he promised 4 years ago and what he's done as of today. But you have a 3rd strong choice this time, whose name is Jesse Ventura. Take a look at his speeches, see what he wants for the USA. Read about his tenure as Governor of Minnesota. A concerned voter is a Ventura voter!"

"We have one of the best landscapes here in Maine. Minnesota is also a state with beautiful ones. When we were Governors, mr. Ventura and I tried to protect our environment. We had to face big corporations and the Federal Government on this issue. And, believe me, that was a difficult task.

Some people may say environment protection is a progressive cause. But here in Maine we know that it has nothing to do with ideology. I had the support of the most conservatives and liberal members of the Maine Legislature when it came to protect our environment, our trees and animals, our rivers and mountains... But the Federal Government believes having the EPA is enough. It isn't. There has to be cooperation between Federal and States Governments on this issue to make environment protection more effective. Ventura knows this, he won't stop cooperating with some Governors because of their party labels, as he doesn't belong to any of them. That's another reason to vote Ventura. Just another one of the many you, my fellow Mainers, have!!"

"Yeah, you may be tired of hearing this from me, but... Vote for the Ventura/Paul ticket!

In 2 days and your support, Maine will give all 4 EVs to Jesse Ventura! You will keep hearing that voting for Ventura is wasting your vote. That's because democrat and republican party strategists didn't expect this to happen and now can only say that independents can't win elections in the USA. It's too late for them to play this game of 'useful and useless votes'. The only useful vote is the vote given to the candidate you like the most. If you liked Obama's 4 years, then vote for him. If you like what republicans have been doing since they took charge of the House, and feel well-represented by republicans in the Senate, then vote for Kelly Ayotte.

But I am sure the huge majority of people don't like what I've just mentioned. And you can't say you haven't got another option now. You can't say you will vote for the 'lesser of two evils', because you actually have a better candidate: Jesse Ventura!!!"

Maine will be electing not only an independent President, also an independent Senator: myself. Thank you, Mainers. Thank you very much, it's been very good to serve you as Governor, to campaign here for a year, to hear your problems and concerns and to speak to you!

I have reasons to feel optimistic about what you will be happening tomorrow in Maine. Not only my polls show me and Ventura leading here, every poll has me ahead of my challengers, who,by the way, have done a great job and I appreciate that we've run a campaign based on Maine's problems! And there are some polls, the right ones if I had to guess, that show Ventura ahead... in Maine's two districts!!! I was talking yesterday about 'useful and useless votes'. If you are the kind of person who votes based on 'which candidate of those who have a chance I like the most', then, please, know that Ventura is ahead or tied with Ayotte and Obama here in Maine!"

"October 29th - November 6th: It's Time!"

"This will go down in history as one of the most amusing and exiting elections in American history. We have witnessed the short rise and fall of Bernie Sanders, the sad departure of Joe Biden from politics, the titanic duel between Hutchinson, Daniels and Senator Ayotte, the comeback of the Ayotte/Christie ticket in the polls, the Clinton surprise, and the Ventura campaign. And this week we put an end to this cycle, and we prove President Obama once and for all that the American people desire and deserve real change! Not slogans, not speeches, change brought by a truly fantastic candidate. Ladies and gentlemen, mark my words: Kelly Ayotte is going to become the first female President of the United States of America! She will finally break the celling that so many women fought against, like Margaret Chase Smith, Shirley Chrisholm, Hillary Clinton herself and Sarah Palin. America, here we go!"

"Shreveport is the city where I was born, the city where I live in and the city who helped me win tough elections. We have a big black community here, just like in many other cities in the South. We are less than an hour away from Texas. This city represents well the South.

Shreveport is a strategic point for any campaign that wants to take Louisiana and the South. And that's why I am here today. Because I know you, my friends, have trusted me before and will do it today again. I am asking for your vote for a great candidate, a candidate that hasn't had the opportunity to campaign here in the South, but who will certainly be the one fighting for us when it's necessary. A man who dislikes Washington D.C. politics as usual, just like us, but unlike mrs. Ayotte and mr. Obama, who seem very comfortable living and working there, who look out of touch with real people. The man I'm talking about is Jesse Ventura.

Blacks here and the rest of the South may feel upset with the Obama administration, just like I do. Because he hasn't fought against discrimination, he hasn't improved your life conditions as he promised. The economy isn't recovering as expected. Common people have less opportunities in places like Western Lousiana and Eastern Texas. They have to leave this part of America to find a job. But that will change with Jesse Ventura. I'm sure he'll take my advice when it comes to talk about the economy in the South. Jobs and prosperity will be back to Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas... sooner than you were expecting! Just make sure you make the right choice in November 6th!"

We are campaigning in Suburban Texas! I am here, in a Dallas suburb, Grapevine. Such a beauttiful city, by the way!
I am amazed by the fact that I am here campaigning for Jesse ventura. Let me be honest to you: I thought the man didn't stand a chance in a place like Texas just a month ago. Let me tell you something more: I knew he would make a big impact, but I didn't think he'd get any EVs. I know that's a very difficult task. No 3rd party candidate has carried a state since Wallace. Now, we have this man, a good friend of mine, Jesse Ventura, who not only has a good chance of taking states like Minnesota, Maine or Montana. You may think I am too optimistic about his chances here, but I believe that with the help of common people like you, he can take Texas. Think about it: the media has only started seriously talking about him once he reached 10% in the polls. The last one says he'd get almost 20%. Our internals show him above 20% and gaining momentum. And people who liked him before but weren't voting for him are reconsidering it. I know Jesse's the most liked candidate. Let's make the most liked candidate our President, for once!! You will never regret it!!

Ventura/Paul is the ticket that cares for common people, the ticket that will make Suburbia safer and will bring jobs back to the USA. The only ticket that will stop wasting money we don't have outside of the USA and start investing here, in and outside of the South, but in the USA!!"

Intra-party fights between politicians hungry for power that have stopped caring about American's problems a while ago. So, please, just don't give your vote for them yet again. They don't deserve your vote. People should be voting based on who they like instead of who they despise the least. Campaigning around Texas I have realized that everyone likes Jesse Ventura, except for party hacks. Just talk to your family, your neighbours, your friends... about Ventura/Paul. You'll soon realize that it's very difficult to find one person who doesn't like this guys!

So, we are a week away from the election. There's enough time to realize that Jesse is the consensus candidate, that never before in this century we had a candidate a huge majority of Americans liked. So, please, don't fool yourselves. He's the only right choice!!"

"Hi, everybody! I've just come back from, know what? Yes! Texas Panhandle!

I'm sure no other candidate or surrogate had visited that area before this year. I still remember when the area was competitive in national elections. And, guess what? I believe it will be competitive again this year! I know they are used to vote straight-line republican there. But I felt that people didn't really want to vote for Kelly Ayotte. The idea I got was 'What does that woman have to do with our Panhandle?'. People have legitimate doubts about Ayotte there. Not because she's a Northeast republican, no! It's because she's been representing republican stablishment since she was elected. It's because she wanted to be President just after being elected Senator! It's because she's been changing her positions on a wide range of issues since she began campaigning in 2010.
Now, these people have just started hearing about Jesse Ventura. And they like what they hear, believe me.
Now, I'm here in Gainesville. A town just some miles East from the Panhandle, just in the border with Oklahoma. Oklahoma is also a state that would go fairly easily to the republicans in a normal election. But this isn't the kind of election we're used to. So that's why I'm asking for your support here in Texas and Oklahoma, and the rest of the USA, of course. Because it's never good when one party always wins. We need new, fresh faces in states like these. The movement that's behind Ventura candidacy won't stop when he's elected President. We'll continue fighting to have new people elected to key offices in every state. Because we need a clean up! But this all will be more difficult if we don't get Ventura elected. So, let's start putting the man who will bring real change to the Presidency and then let's start organizing a big structure to have the best people elected in states that were considered out of reach to us, the common people of the USA!"

"It's been great to spend the day in South Dakota. I had never been here before, and, as I saw in Texas and Louisiana, people are energized. People want Ventura elected!

I've been saying this since the campaign started, but small states DO matter in the electoral college. If I recall, states with 3, 4 and 5 EVs represent 59 EVs in total. 59 EVs represent more than 10% of the electoral college. So, why do candidates ignore states like this one, or like North Dakota -where I'll be making campaign stops tomorrow-, West Virginia, Vermont or Maine? Their campaign strategists are very narrow-minded if they think 59 EVs aren't worth it.
When I say that they don't care about places with not that many EVs I'm not entirely right... They just love Washington D.C.. Kelly Ayotte loves it even if 90% of its people are going to vote for Obama. And I have to say that Jesse Ventura likes Washington D.C., too. But he doesn't like what's happening there. And that's the main difference between him and Ayotte/Obama.

So, be wise, South Dakota. A state with many similarities with Minnesota, by the way: Jesse Ventura is the candidate that fits you the best!"

"North Dakota is just like Minnesota, my friends. I know you are well aware of that.

I've had the opportunity to talk to many native communities. I was there to talk them about Jesse Ventura, who actually cares about their rights. But it wasn't necessary! They already knew that Jesse was the only candidate who'd fight for them. They've known Jesse since he was Governor of Minnesota. You know Minnesota and North Dakota share some media network, so that may be the reason.

When I see North Dakota, I see the American Dream. Rural counties and small towns where people don't have reasons to fear, where people have good jobs and where people live happy and die old. That's what we want for the rest of America. I congratulate you, North Dakotans!

Thank you very much for letting me know this wonderful state. And I'll repeat it yet again, sorry if you've heard it a dozen times since I am here, but: VOTE FOR JESSE VENTURA!!"

"Alaska has always been a great land for 3rd party and independent candidates. You gave Ralph Nader an astonishing result in 2000. Ralph is now supporting Ventura. So, if you voted for Nader in 2000, don't forget who's his choice now. If you didn't, well, it's time not to vote for a democrat or republican now. Because you have the best candidate in Jesse Ventura. You have watched some of his ads. A man who served his country when it was necessary. I know people admire Navy SEALs all over the USA, but I also know here in Alaska you value it specially. Jesse Ventura is the kind of person people in Alaska want to see entering politics, isn't him?

Yet again I repeat: Venutra/Paul 2012! The ticket of common people!"

"I've just arrived from Alaska and the Alaskan people have a message for Louisianans: vote for Jesse Ventura tomorrow. We're gonna do it!!

Lousianans know I've been a democrat, then I became a republican just to become a member of the Reform Party 20 years later. But now I can say that I'm not a man of parties, I am a man who likes candidates, who votes for the person and not for the party. That's, honestly, why I am supporting Ventura in this election. It's unfair when people don't vote for you based only on your political affiliation. But we have broken that, and now people are voting for a candidate without party labels just because they like him. The American electorate is intelligent and wise. I'm sure most of them will be casting their vote for Ventura tomorrow!"

Obama:  There'll be debates speeches and more ads . .
News Clip:  . . . economy right now that can't find the bottom a bad news . . .
Kelly:  I speak the language business I know how jobs are created
Obama:  I promise you change you change will come
Narrator  I'm fed up with Washington politics, with bickering but wasteful out-of-control spending.  I wanted change in 2008 we didn't get it. We just got more in the same and they keep telling us it's getting better, but look around; the economy, food, gas, rent, healthcare everything's worse and people are really struggling.  This time I'm voting for real change I'm voting for Kelly Ayotte, Chris Christie, and [Insert Republican nominee name]; but don't get too comfortable up there in Washington, I'm going to keep going voting for change until we actually get it.

Hi, Americans. I am Ross Perot. And I have an important message for you:

In just two weeks you will be making the most important decision since you elected FDR to lead us during the II World War. You will be voting for the person who will take us out of this political, economic and financial crisis. There's only one man who can take us out of this crisis, there's only one person running that is proposing a new model for the USA. And that person isn't Barack Obama. It isn't Kelly Ayotte either. We've seen what democrats have done since Obama became President and had a majority in the Senate and the House. We've seen how things haven't changed since republicans took power of the House of Representatives.

What we have now is a bunch of politicians shouting at each other, but without new ways of fixing our problems: debt, unemployment, education...
When I ran for President, I proposed innovative solutions for these problems. I'm glad Jesse and his team have taken some of my ideas, and developed new ones. Those who voted for me or thought about voting for me, this time you have no excuse not to vote for the Ventura/Paul ticket!

I am Ross Perot and I approve this message.

Hi, Americans. Still remember me? I am Ross Perot, the man who ran in 1992 and 1996 for President. That who took almost 20% of the vote against Clinton and Bush.

I founded the "Reform Party" as an alternative to the Democratic and the Republican Party. Only one of our supported candidates was elected as Governor or Senator. We finished in a very strong 3rd position in many states, but one of our candidates actually won. That man was... guess who? Jesse Ventura!
Ventura proved to every skeptic American that you don't need to be a democrat or a republican to win an election, that independents and third party candidates also make good Governors! He ran a tough campaign in 1998, but he won.

Now, he's running for President. And this is the toughest race he's run in his lifetime. Help us make his task easier! If you do, he'll help your life be easier once he's elected President! And the best way to help us is casting your vote for the Ventura/Paul ticket.
Believe me: you won't regret it!

I am Ross Perot and I approve this message.

Minnesotans, you already know me.

If you thought I was a good Governor, please, vote for me next week. I tried my best to represent your interests, you know that. I tried my best to make deals with republicans and democrats in the Legislature to improve your day-to-day lifes. And I did that almost alone, winning only because I had the support of common people!

Now, I have a big team behind me. Not only popular support this time. With me I have doctor Ron Paul. You know this man has always fought for liberty in the House of Representatives. You know he'd make a better VP than Biden or Christie. Many other doctors, experts, economists, pastors... are supporting my campaign all over the USA. But I can't be President without YOUR support, Minnesotans. If we don't win here, we don't win in any other state. And I'm sure we will, but we need your support. Don't forget to vote!

I am Jesse ventura and I approve this message.

Pamplhet to be delivered in the following states:

The first wave:

Joe Biden and Jerry Brown Schedule
The End of Laisser-Faire and the Era of Limits travels together.

Jerry Brown: I might say folks, the situation should have been definitely better for us during the end of this election cycle and that’s one of the reasons why I’m making some trips to help President Obama on his campaign. But, even so, I’m very optimistic about our prospects.

October 29th to October 31st
Nevada Barnstorm (Rallies and Town Halls scheduled in Reno, Las Vegas, Carson City and other medium cites)

Joe Biden: This week will be crucial and in the end people will vote in the right way. Obama is a compassionate leader, with proven achievements, great experience and great record. We need a President that understands the importance of good standards of living for the people while keeping it commitment with the development of our economy. That man is Mr. Barack Obama.

November 1st to November 3rd
Colorado Barnstorm (Rallies, GOTV Efforts and Town Halls in Denver, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins and Grand Junction)

Jerry Brown: Hey guys! Guess who is the one with higher prospects of getting in the White House and that supports the decriminalization of marijuana and gay marriage? No! That’s not Jesse Ventura and Ron Paul. That’s President Obama, my friends. We understand that we can still advance on the issues of freedom but giving a vote for Ventura is nothing more than being too idealistic and not getting things done. And, well, I’m someone that learned that from life experience! * Laughter * I mean, politics is the art of possible and Obama is definitely doing everything possible in his hands! Which goes to something really important: we need a Democratic Congress! With our democratic friends, we got Healthcare Reform, Stimulus, important financial regulation and much other important legislation and what did we get with the Republican Party? Obstructionism, silly talks and a lot of Tea Party stupid radicalism! That’s not something that we want for our nation and that’s not something that I’d like to see here.

November 3rd to November 6th
Maine Barnstorm (GOTV Rallies in Portland, Kennebunk, Augusta and Bangor).

Joe Biden: I have no doubts that Ventura and Paul are freedom fighters but they fail to show a responsible plan when it comes to social security, budget and welfare! Those guys will cut more expenditure than Thatcher ever dreamed in UK!  Everything will be defunded to preserve our “liberties”! Seriously guys, I have anything against libertarianism, but how can we enjoy our freedoms if we don’t enjoy a few basic standards of living! Having not a single way to find food, income, housing is not desired by anyone and in some ways that restraints people’s freedom. Moreover, promoting irresponsible capitalism is something that we really don’t want for our nation! Do we really want to go back to the so-called 1920’s Golden Era? No Social Security, No Labor Rights, No Medicare, No Medicaid, is this what we want for our nation? I don’t think so!

Joe Biden: Well folks! It’s good to be in Maine! I come here because just like the President, I’m worried about the path that this nation is taking. We are moving to a terrible mistake and I feel that Maine will recognize that Ayotte and Ventura laisser-faire economics won’t work well! Those guys want to cut social expenditure, those guys want to destroy any sort of welfare that this nation has and more, importantly, and they lack any sort of compassion for the poor and for the middle class families of this nation.

They blame the social programs created during Democratic Administrations to be the reason why the middle class is collapsing but I tell you what has been destroying our middle class and squeezing the middle America: it’s the Republican vicious cycle of gutting entitlement and social budget, cutting taxes for the rich and financial lunacy that have been destroying our middle class! The electorate of Maine doesn’t want that  kind of policies for the nation! Maine has an independent mind but it’s also concerned with our nation’s path to the twenty first century. A path with good standards of living, with well-paid jobs, with a revived economy, a path with President Obama and Mrs. Clinton!

Philadelphia - October 29th

On late October, Obama, while apologizing, delivered a strong speech in Pennsylvania. He then published his full speech on Youtube while soundbites of the speech will be posted on adapted adds in the states marked in the map.

The October Speech

Good night, my fellow Americans. I stand here today to talk about this election cycle and about the Democratic Party vision for the next four years.

As the President of the United States, I'm the first person to be concerned about the paths that this country is making and it's part of my duty to convince the people, which should be the way for this nation to move forward. During this election cycle, the electorate seems to be inclining itself gradually to a dangerous ideology; the people are trending to a very conservative road of austerity, trickle-down economics and lack of social conscience. Yes, we are a nation of entrepreneurs and we are a nation of a successful market economy, but we are also a land willing to promote social fairness, reduced disparities and better governmental services for all.

This election is about two visions of America. It is about what kind of government and what kind of leader does this country want to have. Do we want an Administration that is concerned with every American citizen or do we want an Administration that is just concerned with special interests of a few? This is the very biggest issue of this campaign and it's up to the American people to decide which is the path that they want to take.

Kelly Ayotte and Jesse Ventura lack many things. They lack experience sure but this by itself is not the greater problem. The problem of those both candidates is that they lack social conscience; they lack the understanding and the importance of promoting higher standards of living for our citizens and, what is worst, they promote excessive cuts of our welfare and social security. Both candidates support the very same divisive trickle-down economics of previous eras that have led to high levels of income inequality and the rise of poverty. Moreover, although sometimes they do have good intentions, most of their proposals are doomed to fail.

I believe and I have a strong feeling that the majority of the American people don’t want this sort of policies. Americans are proud of building their own business, of fulfilling their dreams and of succeeding in a capitalist economy but they understand that everyone shall pay its fair share and that every citizen deserves basic living standards. I’m proud to be part of the party of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry Truman and JFK! Men that believed on those principles and men that fought for the well-being and a good life for every American citizen.

During the campaign, I tried to show for the people of this nation what I expect for the next four years. It was great message of an America that with your trust and with your support will be able to face the 21s Century. I want to invest in our infrastructure, I want to reduce the taxation in the middle class and in the poor, I want to reform our education, I want to increase our efforts to deal with global warming and I want to fight for a higher minimum wage, good healthcare and higher standards of living for every America. Those are my intentions for the next four years and I hope that you, the American people, can support our Administration on this great mission.

Last weekend, I stayed on Washington dealing with policy making and that proved to be a mistake. I should have been campaigning but I gave full priority for a huge package of investments and reforms that we were planning for the next four years. It showed to be definitely a bad move and that’s why I shall honestly ask for your apologies. But we are not over yet, we need to win this election and keep the change that we started in 2009 moving forward.  I passionately ask you to gave me your vote and to support our congressional, gubernatorial and senatorial candidates and I promise that your voices will always be heard.

Thank you for your attention, good night and god bless!

GOTV Rally in Scranton, PA.

Our agenda for the next 4 more years is simple. While Kelly Ayotte and Jesse Ventura are calling to cut expenditure of everything and see our economical system and social system collapse, I’m offering the American people a clear and strong plan. We want to invest in our future, we want that good and well-paid jobs fly over America and, more importantly, we want better and higher standards of living for the common man. In order to do this, we need a President with proven leadership; we need a party that does have a strong social conscience while understanding the importance of business; and you are not going to get this with Kelly, with Christie, with Ventura and with the Republican Party.

There is a major thing that we’ve tried to show you guys during this election cycle and that is the importance of proven leadership and strong achievements.  Kelly Ayotte, Chris Christie, Jesse Ventura and Ron Paul don’t have good records to show to the people, mild results and stamp speeches are what they are offering to us. I noticed something strange on this campaign! Take a look at each one of the candidates. Who is the only choice that offered specifics for the next 4 years? That was not Ayotte, that was not Ventura, you know who has big ideas for the future!

I and my fellow colleagues in the Senate, in the House of Representatives, in the Governor Mansions, in the Grassroots of the Democratic Party were able to pass a lot of good legislation for this country: we’ve passed a major healthcare bill, we’ve passed a successful stimulus on the automobile industries and we were able to withdrawn from Iraq and stop Osama Bin Laden. Those were great things, those were proofs of our leadership and those are just a few examples of how good things can happen when we have a Democratic President with a Democratic Congress. That’s why I call for your vote. Vote passionately for me and Clinton and our candidates and let’s see our project of America moving forward!

We are going to invest more on the infrastructure sector, we must improve our educational system and we need to improve our living standards here on the industrial business.

Folks! Today is the day! Let’s end this in a grand finale; let’s today make history once more! Let’s show which side the American people are! A few days ago, I called you to help us on that mission. We need a President that is concerned with every American Citizen, not with just a few.  We are concerned with the living standards of this nation, with the opportunity that this economy can bring for our people and with the future of our next generations and I’m optimistic. We can win this and I won’t let you down. We have had our own ups and downs on this campaign but, in the end, I hope that the ideas that were set during 2008 can continue. Change is not something easy, it takes time but it’s a strong process; let’s not take Change for granted! Make everyone: your neighbors, your co-workers, and your family to get out and vote, American deserves a good Democratic victory and I hope passionately that we can win!
