BREAKING NEWS

Massachusetts is about to become a battleground state

According to a recent poll, Tim Ashe's efforts in Massachusetts could make this Democratic stronghold a battleground state in 2020. President Tim Kaine is leading in the Bay State by only 8 points over Marco Rubio's 36 %, Tim Ashe's 19 % and Ron Paul's 1 %.

Republicans and Progressive Libertarians will surely add Massachusetts among their targets in the campaign.

Nineteen years ago, on September 11 2001, the United States of America suffered the worst attack in their history. The World Trade Center came down, another plane hit the Pentagon and Flight 93's target was either the White House or the Capitol. But Flight 93's passengers sacrificed their lives in order to stop another terrorist attack from being committed by revolting against the terrorists controlling the plane and by making this plane crash in Shanksville, Pennsylvania , thus saving many lives as well as the American democracy.

Many families suffered and cried from the loss of their beloved ones. We have give our support to these families through social services to make sure they will face 9/11's sequellae more effectively. Many of 9/11's victims had all their lives ahead of them and had many stages of life to achieve : getting through school, graduation, integration into workforce, wedding, giving birth to children, earning a living and living the American Dream. But sadly, Al Qaida took these lives. These terrorist attacks were an offense committed against the American Dream, democracy, justice and freedom.

But after 9/11, we fought back by declaring war on international terror, by reinforcing our security measures, by reinforcing our military and our partnerships with our allies and by intervening militarily in Afghanistan, thus toppling the tyrannical Taliban regime and destroying Al Qaida's bases. Then, our brave soldiers killed Osama Bin Laden, the responsible of 9/11 attacks. While Bin Laden's death is one of our greatest victories against terrorism, the job is not yet completed. We have to keep fighting terrorism through security, stronger military and stronger alliances. We will also do this by securing strategic zones and by making sure that the state sponsors of terrorism like Syria and Iran will never ever get nuclear weapons or weapons of mass destruction. That way, we can prevent another 9/11 from happening.

United we stand, divided we fall. Thanks to strength, solidarity and collaboration, we will defeat ISIS, Al Qaida and international terrorism for the sake of security, freedom, justice, democracy and peace.

Thank you, God bless 9/11's victims and their families and God bless the United States of America.

Surrogate schedule

September 13-19, 2020

-Anthony Rubio, one of Rubio's sons, gives a speech at the University of Las Vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada :


When he was my age, my dad was raised paycheck to paycheck, so he understands perfectly the middle class' and poor people's social and economic concerns. As President, my father will make sure that everybody, especially children like me, a 13-year old boy, will have access to education through school choice, a policy that will give parents the option 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 integration into the workforce. This is how every young American, no matter their income, will have a fair chance to succeed, to find a good-paying job and to live the American Dream.

Keeping the American Dream alive also means making sure that our future business owners will chose America as the best place to open their business, which my dad will do by giving tax credits to small businesses. That's how our future business owners will be able to innovate, to produce, to sell, to improve and to create the jobs of tomorrow here in America.

-Mitt Romney campaigns for Marco Rubio in his home state of Massachusetts and gives the following speech in Boston, MA :


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 Progressive Libertarians 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. As President of the United States, Marco Rubio will champion small business because that's where most of jobs are created, which will ensure innovation, production, competitiveness and job creation. By using a part of future budget surpluses to invest into the development of infrastructures, President Rubio will encourage further job creation through innovation and stronger economic activities due to developed infrastructures.

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

Thank you, God bless the United States of America.

September 20, 2020
-Speech in reaction to the Birmingham shooter's sentence :


This is not acceptable that a supremacist of any race takes on another race. It's unacceptable that such a psychopath threats any racial group's right to live free and fairly and to earn the same rights. The racial tensions that marked the last few years already ripped our country apart and now this too much. That's enough. We are a diverse country and that's what makes our America strong and it will be stronger if we unite this country together no matter our differences, our beliefs and our origins.

By the way, violently targeting a candidate for office, including for the presidency of the United States like Tim Ashe, is an offense against democracy. We can't tolerate such a madness. This is a democratic republic and we must protect all Americans' inviolable rights.
 
Thank you, God bless you and God bless the United States of America.

In the next six years, I will keep pursuing my leadership in the Senate and work with President Marco Rubio to pass his laws in order to make America fair, prosperous, energy independent, competitive in the world economy and safe through a stronger military and stronger alliances. That's why I'm asking for your vote for a second term and your vote for Marco Rubio for the Presidency of the United States.

-Joni Ernst's re-election campaign speech alongside Nikki Haley in Des Moines, Iowa :


This year, I enthusiastically supported Senator Rubio's Bipartisan Counterterrorist Coalition Act that passed in Congress, which reinforced defense ties between the United States, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey, Jordan, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Yemen and the United Arab Emirates in order to fight terrorism in the Middle East through military strength and to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons by increasing pressure on Tehran and making sure Iran uses its nuclear energy to ensure economic growth instead of developing nuclear weapons to trigger a devastating and catastrophic war.

This same year, I supported Senator Rubio's Syria Arms Nonproliferation Act, which established penalties and sanctions for nations (including Syria), persons or companies assisting Syria in acquiring chemical and missile technology or all other types of weapons of mass destruction. This bill too passed the Congress, which deprived the Assad regime of weapons and reinforced sanctions against Russia when Moscow tries to deliver weapons to Assad.

These two bills made America and the whole world safer. And if I'm re-elected for a second six-year term, I will keep promoting national and international security by passing President Rubio's laws and policies that will strength our alliances, defeat radical Islamic terrorism, stop Russia's imperialist policies and restore stability on the Pacific Ocean.

First presidential debate at the University of Dayton, Ohio

Date : September 29th, 2020

Participants : President Tim Kaine (D), Florida Senator Marco Rubio (R), Congressman Tim Ashe (PLP), former Texas Congressman Ron Paul (I)






Moderator : Jake Tapper


Podium order was determined by the average of the national polls :

Paul    Kaine    Rubio    Ashe

Jake Tapper's opening statement :

Good evening from the University of Dayton in Dayton, Ohio. I'm Jake Tapper of CNN. I want to welcome you to the first presidential debate.

The participants tonight are President Tim Kaine, the Democratic nominee, Florida Senator Marco Rubio, the Republican nominee, Tim Ashee, the Progressive Libertarian nominee, and former  Texas Congressman Ron Paul, the Independent nominee. This debate is sponsored by the Commission on Presidential Debates, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization. The commission drafted tonight's format, and the rules have been agreed to by the campaigns.

The 90-minute debate is divided into six segments, each 15 minutes long. We'll explore three topic areas tonight: economic and fiscal issues. At the start of each segment, I will ask the same lead-off question to all candidates, and they will each have up to two minutes to respond. From that point until the end of the segment, we'll have an open discussion.

The questions are mine and have not been shared with the commission or the campaigns. The audience here in the room has agreed to remain silent so that we can focus on what the candidates are saying.

I will invite you to applaud, however, at this moment, as we welcome the candidates: Tim Kaine, Marco Rubio, Tim Ashe and Ron Paul

[UWS]

Marco Rubio's debate responses, Part 1

-What are the major differences between the four of you about how you would go about creating new jobs?

Thank you Jake. I want to thank the University of Dayton to host this debate and I thank you Mr. President, Congressman Ashe and Congressman Paul for participating at this debate.

We are living difficult times. All across the country, I listened to the people who talked to me about their concerns. Recently, during one of my rallies in Des Moines, Iowa, I met an agribusinessman whose business is about to collapse since his company's products are becoming more expensive due to higher inflation and asked for my help. And during a campaign stop in Chicago, I had a contact with an electrical worker who declared that he would vote for me in order to make sure that electricity production will increase thanks to energy independence.

 The unemployment rate is now at 8,1 %, we lost over 10 millions of jobs over the last four years, our national deficit has hit over 20 trillion dollars, we are more dependent than ever before on foreign energy and we are less competitive in the world economy. The President's big government policies as well as Hillary Clinton's including exorbitant taxes, regulations and government spending pursued the killing of American jobs, which some of them offshored overseas.

So we need to take a different leadership.

I was raised paycheck to paycheck, I lived the American Dream and I spent over six years in the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship and in the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. I know what it takes to make America prosperous again and making it the number one country in the world in terms of job creation.
My plan has seven basic points. Number one, cutting taxes and regulations for all the American people and establishing tax reform and regulatory reform in order to reinforce our consumers' purchasing power. Number two getting us to energy independence by fully utilizing all of our resources including oil, gas, ethanol, coal, nuclear and renewables and by developing renewable energies through a part of revenues from oil drilling. Number three promoting free trade in order to make us competitive in the worldwide economy through lower tariffs (which will make our products less expensive and more attractive to foreign consumers). Number four making education accessible for all the people through school choice and through giving them the skills they need to succeed and to enter the workforce. Number five balancing the budget. Number six making America the best place in the world to start a business or expand an existing business, which requires championing businesses of all sizes. And number seven investing into the development of infrastructures through future budget surpluses.

That's how we will restore the vitality and the dynamism that makes America's economic force and gets America working again.

-What are the differences between the four of you as to how you would go about tackling the deficit problem in this country?

What we need to do to reduce the deficit is to create as many jobs as possible, because the more jobs we create, the more our economy works, the more we can rise the wages and the more we will be able to reduce the deficit. And the reason why the deficit increased in the last couple of years is because the President and his predecessors took on the American people's purchasing power, thus making our economy less dynamic and weakening the middle-class. Because if more people work in a growing economy, they're paying taxes, which will help us reducing the deficit. We also have to reduce spending and taxes if we want to make the middle-class stronger because a stronger middle-class is one of the main tools for a stronger economy. We have the duty to put the deficit under control if not, those burdens will be passed on to our children, to our great children and to the next generations. They're going to be paying the interest and the principal all their lives. We can't let that happen.

-How do you plan to use future budget surpluses when you would have balanced the budget?

If I'm President, we will balance the budget, and once we have balanced the budget, we will use a part of budget surpluses to invest into the development of infrastructures in order to grow our economy by making our companies more dynamic and more competitive, thus ensuring innovation and further job creation because developing our infrastructures will improve transportation, facilitate economic activities all across the country and make sure that new businesses will be able to implement here in the United States, which will help our  business owners and business owners to ensure the expansion of their companies, to prosper, to create jobs, to innovate and to reinforce their competitiveness. We will not do it with borrowed money but with earned money.

Another part of budget surpluses will help us lowering taxes, which will further reinforce the American people's purchasing power and diminish their fiscal burden.

Another part of future budget surpluses will also be invested to pursue further improvement and modernization of our military equipment and arsenal, which will make our military much more ready and reinforce peace and security all around the world through fighting and defeating terrorism and all dictatorial regimes supporting terrorism. By the way, Dayton gave birth to aviation and is known for its high concentration of aerospace and aviation technology.
The National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) have headquarters at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base located here in Dayton. This base is one of the Air Force's largest air base wings.

Local companies snagged some of that construction work. In 2009, for example, Wilcon Construction of Dayton, won a 13 million $ expansion and renovation project at the 88th Security Forces Squadron Operations facility at the base. In addition, state officials are working to make the Dayton region a hub and a leader for UAV research and manufacturing. In all, defense spending accounted for more than 6 billion $ in economic activity in South Carolina in 2014. That’s 1,262 $ per resident. A strong defense industrial base is essential to both our national security and our local economies. So defense manufacturing will be beneficial for both our economy and our national security.

That way, the U.S. military will remain the most powerful military in the world and by standing with our allies, we will force Russia and China to cease their expansionist and aggressive policies against our allies, which will reinforce territorial integrity as well as international peace. That's why we absolutely need to balance the budget if we want to reduce our deficit and to clear a path to peace and economic prosperity.

-What are the differences between the four of you about how you would make America energy independent?

Over the last twelve years, the President and his two predecessors cut permits on federal lands and increased taxes and regulations on energy industries. That's not the right path to energy independence.

Energy independence requires increasing oil drilling and production, doubling permits on federal lands, approving Keystone XL pipeline, the TransAmerica Energy pipeline (from Pennsylvania to California) and drilling in ANWR, exploit subsea oil and gas resources through underwater tankers in order to avoid an environmental catastrophe, thus helping us creating new jobs while preserving the environment. This will restore the vitality and dynamism of America's automobile industry, thus helping us to manufacture more cars. Energy independence will make our cars less expensive than Asian cars, which will give us the upper hand if America becomes a member of the Trans-Pacific Partnership because it will give Asian consumers a chance for a stronger purchasing power by giving them the option of buying less expensive American cars. That way, we will prevent another bankruptcy in Detroit, in the Great Lakes and all across America.
We need to use a part of the revenues from oil drilling to invest into the development of renewable energies such as solar, wind, hydroelectric, ethanol, biomass, etc., thus contributing to further job creation without hurting the environment and getting us energy independence by 2035, which will make sure that we take advantage of all of our sources of energy and that we stop terrorist organizations from getting some of the money we send overseas to oil producing countries by importing their oil. This is not only an economic issue, it's also a national security issue.

We also have to support the expansion of the Quebec–New England Electric Power Transmission (also called Northern Pass Transmission) to create new American jobs and develop new electric technologies that will help us creating more jobs. My plan also forecasts wooing French investors with electric industry skills at the annual World Economic Forum in Davos, in Switzerland, in order to help our electric and nuclear industries growing thanks to nuclear technologies adopted by France, one of our greatest partners and one of the greatest electric powers in the world.
This plan will create about 7 million new good-paying jobs and bring prosperity back to America through cleanliness.
