Sue Lowden is participating in a townhall meeting in Reno, Nevada, when she was asked by a middle-aged woman...

Senator Lowden, are you going to run for President? We could sure use a woman President.

Lowden considers the question carefully, and then chooses her answer

Let's just say, I won't rule a run out. I'd like to see some of the other candidates in the race before making a final decision. Most importantly, I'll have to find out what my constituents want, and I'll go from there.

Senator Sue Lowden holds a rally in Boulder City, Nevada. There were approximately 400 people in attendance, packed inside a small gym. Standing beside Ms. Lowden was her husband, Paul, and her children; Christopher, Jennifer, Paul IV, and William. Also there were Congressmen Heller and Porter, as well as Senator John Ensign and Governor Brian Sandoval. All major Republican officeholders in Nevada were there, so something was obviously about to happen...

Struggling Americans and Nevadans know that the time for hope and change is long past. But the time for real solutions has come. The White House still hasn't figured it out. It's the place of grand speeches and poll-tested promises. Unfortunately, too many promises have been broken, priorities misplaced and opportunities squandered.

Today, we have higher unemployment, higher debt and hardworking Americans continue to be separated from their homes in record numbers. Washington puts too much of a financial burden on American families, and spend more than they receive. A fun fact – if you evenly distributed our debt amongst Americans, each Nevada taxpayer would be saddled with over $100,000 of debt. It's too late to simply freeze government spending – we must cut spending across the board.

I am proud to have outlined real solutions to real problems as a Senator. From outlining a jobs plan to providing more affordable and accessible health care, my campaign has focused on not just issues – but solutions. My plans are backed not just by promises, but by a record of action and progress.

Government growth and personal freedom do not go hand-in-hand. It's time for Washington to know that Americans choose more freedom over more government. We need a leader, a President, who will implement these great ideas. I, Sue Lowden, stand before you today announcing my candidacy for President of the United States of America. I will also simultaneously be running for reelection as your Senator. Because the fact is, Americans cannot afford four more years of reckless spending and mounting tax hikes. The people on the left and right of me will all be accompanying me along the way, as I hope to learn more about the stories and lives of Americans all across this country. Join me, and together, let's make America great again. Thank you, and God Bless you all!

Governor Meg Whitman makes a speech at a Woman's Right's rally in San Diego, California...

America has had 44 Presidents, coming from all parties, with all sorts of backgrounds. What do all of them have in common? They all have been men. Now, don't get me wrong, I love men. I'm even married to one. But we've never had a woman. And ladies, that ain't a good thing. We've had female candidates come and go, but none of them ever managed to shatter that glass ceiling. Well, I think our wait may be over, because we finally have a candidate who can shatter that glass ceiling. She and I differ on some issues, which means she isn't perfect. But she shares the same vision I do for making America a stronger and safer nation. Today, I am announcing my endorsement of Sue Lowden for President of the United States of America, and I encourage all of you to join me when the primary season rolls around to California by voting for Sue Lowden. Let's shatter that glass ceiling once and for all!

Senator Sue Lowden makes a stop in Portland, Oregon speaking to several hundred college students and facility at the University of Portland...

Hello students! It's great to be up here in Oregon. I've always enjoyed visiting this state, as it has some of the best weather in America. My main point today will be abortion. As a Catholic, like many of you here, abortion has always been an issue close to my heart. It's always a debate topic, and I'm sure relationships have been ruined due to differring positions. I am pro-life and I will defend life as President of the United States. Over two decades ago, when the issue outlined was brought to the floor of the Nevada state Senate, I did not  stand to demonstrate support for the Roe v. Wade decision. Further, as a parent and state senator, I helped lead the effort on parental notification legislation. Unfortunately, that bill was defeated on the floor. I adamantly oppose any taxpayer-funded and I strongly oppose the practice of partial-birth abortion. I understand how so may feel, that the woman deserves a right of choice and shouldn't have to do something she doesn't want to do. But what about that child? That innocent life, never did any wrong, suffering in terrible ways due to others mistakes. Now, friends, tell me, is woman's choice really important enough to let another life go? As a woman, I stand here today saying no. As your President, I will do everything in my power to prevent abortion. There won't be public funding for abortion, and I will appoint pro-life judges to the Supreme Court. For the sake of the unborn. Thank you all, and God Bless you all.

Senator Sue Lowden continues her campaign, making stops in Washington, Idaho, and Wyoming before making a stop in Bismarck, North Dakota where she holds a rally downtown, where she speaks about reducing the national budget. Here is a transcript of part of her speech...

To stop this madness, I propose that the federal government mandate not only an immediate spending freeze, but that we ask all federal departments and agencies to cut 5 percent of their spending, except those tasked with protection our national and homeland security. Washington liberals have so drastically increased federal spending in this country that we cannot simply stop the level of spending, we need to reduce spending to get our nation back on a more stable, economic footing. Republicans, Democrats, Independents – and those who are years away from even becoming eligible voters – deserve better. As your President, I will stop this careless spending and prevent decades of job-killing tax hikes and unaffordable interest rates.

[tmthforu94]

Sue Lowden makes a speech in New Jersey...

In my administration, we will tackle the major challenges facing this country. We will be specific, and direct. We will lay out a clear, conservative vision for the future of America. As President , I will focus on heavily five areas: The economy, education, terrorism, health care, and government reform.

For starters, I will spend less, tax less, and borrow less. Taxes have increased and government has grown. Over the last eitht years, Obama has added millions of works to the federal payroll. That's not conservative. That's irresponsible. We can do better. It's time for results, not politics.

As President, I want to help create an education system that prepares our children for the jobs of tomorrow. To begin, we will no longer accept such high dropout rates. Our students deserve quality teachers who are well educated and trained, and schools where bad teachers aren't just transferred, but let go. But good teachers should be rewarded and they should have continuing opportunities for professional development. I will propose incentives for math and science teachers to earn a degree in what they teach.

As Republicans, we can continue down the road of shrinking majorities. Or we can inspire, unite, and grow our party. Rebuild it from the bottom up, and reach out to Americans and say, 'If you are for limited government, lower taxes and less spending, we want you in the Republican Party, we welcome you and want you to be active in our cause.' That's how we will win elections, keep the majority and be worthy to lead our great nation. And that's what we're going to do if I'm heading the Republican ticket.

It's time for a President for all of America. Join me and together we will make the America of tomorrow everything our children deserve. This is a special time in New Jersey, and America. A time for principled leadership, reform, and results. We can do better, my friends. And together, we will!!!

I've sat around watching this campaign take place, looking for the candidate I think could best lead this country to better days. I have found that candidate. And because of that, today I am announcing my endorsement of Sue Lowden for President of the United States of America. I look foward to campaigning with Ms. Lowden for the coming months as she puts foward her strong and courageous vision for this country.
- Former Governor Sarah Palin

Sue Lowden seems to have her head set on straight in regards to foreign affairs, and I think she would make a great Commander in Chief. For those reasons, I am happy to endorse Sue Lowden for President.

Sue Lowden is like my husband in so many ways. She has the leadering, courage, and integrity to bring America back to it's conservative roots. For my husbands sake, and his legacy, I am pleased to endorse Sue Lowden for President.

Nancy Reagan holds a rally/fundraiser in California...

Thank you all for coming out today! It's great to see such a large crowd, out to support the best candidate in this race. The other day, I was listening in to Rush, as I generally enjoy hearing what he has to say. Rush believes Bobby Jindal is the next Ronald Reagan. He is quick to compare the two. Well, my friends, I'm her to say as the person who knew Ronald more than anyone else, despite the fact that she's a woman, Sue Lowden is the "next Ronald Reagan" and Sue Lowden is the best to bring this nation back on track!

Senator Sue Lowden speaks to a crowd in Iowa...

Hello, great people of Iowa! It's nice to see you all here today... America is in tough times. It's time that we have a tough leader who will be able to stand up to big government and fight this beast head on. There are very few candidates who can do that, me being one of them, Scott Brown being one of the fews others. Let's break that glass ceiling once and for all! I hope I can get your vote.

[tmthforu94]

Sue Lowden makes a Western tour, focusing on California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. Here is a portion of her townhall meeting, after being asked what she thinks of her opponents...

Whie I have the greatest respect for all of them, the only one who really sticks out is Scot Brown of Massachusetts. He has the stamina, charisma, and leadership skills, like myself, to get this country back on track. Great days would be ahead for America under a Lowden or Brown administration.

Senator Lowden speaks to a crowd in Waterloo, Iowa...

We can win this state! Polls currently show us leading here, and I believe we can if we all pitch in to work hard, and let Iowans know what a Lowden administration would do for them. A Lowden administration would give you tax breaks, a lower national defict, and better schools for your children. We can make America great again, and I believe my conservative principles will.

Iran is way out of it's boundaries. We must do everything we can to help Iraq, and I call on President Obama to make sure Iraqi's are safe and away from harm. I offer my support and prayer's to Iraq and her President.

[tmthforu94]

Senator Sue Lowden campaigns with Governor Jindal in Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, and Louisiana. At a rally in Little Rock, Arkansas, Lowden makes the following comments...

Under a Lowden administration, sweeping educational policy would take place. First off, I do support the removal of the Department of Education. I think it is a wasteful position, and that states should be in charge of their education. America's education ratings have plummeted ever since the department began, and I see no positive benefits from it. We would encourage smaller class sizes and allowing parents more options, and not confine them to a failing school.
