Marco Rubio- 7/13/15
Miami, Florida  
        Hello and welcome, as many of you know I recently have been courting a run for president. After some deep talks with my wife and children I have decided that I will run for that very office. I believe that America has become less and less competitive in the international community under the current administration at a time when we should be increasing our influence to countries like Cuba. It was from that very country my parents came fleeing for freedom in the United States during the 1950's. Back then America was prosperous and expanding whereas today we continue to decrease our influence. Our nation is at a crossroad. We can either remain in our superpower status or we can let people like the President let China take our place. These ,ladies and gentlemen, are just some of the many factors influencing my desicion to seek our nation's highest office. Thank you.

 Quotes: Rally in Waterloo " I belive America needs a President who will not push aside our foreign allies but will assist them. President Obama has refised to help Israel and more recently India in their struggle against Iran. Instead he pushes forward with his partison cap-and-trade bill while our friends arround the world need us at their side."            
               Rally in Houston "I love America and I have been blessed to meet citizens everywhere on this campaign, whether it was a farmer in Iowa or a Waitress in Houston they all have pledged their support behind me. Some have joined because of my membership on some comitees in the Senate and others becuase they say I have a good strong sense of moral character. But the largest reason I have gotten support is because people know I will take America in the right direction and will not bow down to and foreign power like Iran, Cuba, or North Korea. And it is for this reason I need your support. Thank you."

Rubio after Bush enters: I am excited to have a new face in the race, I feel the more the merrier because this will be a healthy process in determining who will be the nominee that will lead our party to victory against the Democrats. Obviously I'm supporting myself but this race is for the American people to decide. I hope to win their support in every state. I know this may make Florida harder to win but I am not competing for just a few states but all 50 and the participating territories such as Puerto Rico.

Quotes : One day I attended a rally like this one in Florida. While I was speaking I noticed a young pregnant woman glaring up at me while I spoke about Abortion. I didn't think much of it until she later approcahed me when I decided to take a walk. She screamed at me and told me I had intimidated people like her on Abortion for years. After yelling she sat down and began crying. I gently invited her into my office and gave her several phone numbers of other women I knew who had decided against abortion. Several months later she returned with a new baby boy. She told me that with the help of those women she avoided what she said could've been the worst choice of her life.
 
               I have been asked by several civilians why I am campaigning in states like New Mexico, Arizona, and California and I have told them that I want to encourage all of my supporters everywhere so they will get motivated and that I view every state of equal importance whether its Florida or Wyoming I dont want anyone to feel unimportant and left out of one of our nation's most important processes

Rubio Quotes:

      These past few weeks have been very exciting in this campaign. Whether it was Governer Bush's enterance or Governer Sandoval's winning of several endorsements in Iowa. Even with all these developments we have generally remained stable in the polls which I view as a showing of strong support and that, ladies and gentlemen, proves that in even with a week where we should of lost support you have kept me strong and steady. For this reason I will need your help spreading my message and giving me a new surge of momentum. Thank you.

     Throughout this campaign I have been keeping my promise. I have been campigning in several states that are generally viewed to be difficult for me. Even this state Nevada I will continue to try to gain support because to me it doesnt matter where you're from but what your message is.

Quotes:  Rally in Tallahassee: Hello everyone, it feels good to be back in my home state. As most of you know I was born here, raised here, and first ran for office here. It is under this state I became Florida speaker and eventually a very lucky Senator. For those of you who have voted for me in the past I would like to ask for your support once again. It is because of you I am in this position and I would appreciate it. Also to those of you who have never voted for me I would like to give you the opprotunity to do so. This local support will hopefully send a strong national message propelling us to the nomination and presidency.

Marco Rubio Debate 1.
1. I view the supreme court's desicion on Obamacare to be the worst case in the last decade. Socialized medicine just increases the size of the government at a time it needs to be smaller and less invasive. You cannot ruin the free- market aspect of insurance it is simply hurting our nation and is making more people depend on the government fom cradle to grave. I have continued to fight against it even in the days following the ruling. Also if I were to appoint someone to the Supreme Court I would make it someone with a good sense of character and honest, true values that our nation desprately needs.

2. For me the answer is simple. Stop making so much money. It is common sense that when you keep pumping money from the government around it hurts prices. President Obama needs to adress this issue and not go around as if its business as usual. People won't have to worry about this if I am president becuase I will reduce government spending and make it more manageable by forcing it to do one of its original purposes such as managing this horrible problem.

3. When I get that call at 3 A.M. I announce the U.S. will take a hard stance against Iran. If it was best for our nation to defend our allies after consulting with generals and other military personel than I would do so or if it is decided it is too risky I would use other measures, not necessarily declaring war but providing support for India.

Quotes: The president is saying Congress in broken. One of America's greatest institutions. No, Mr. President it is clear that the Presidency is broken. Not only have your peacemaking measures failed but you continue to shove your big-government policy down our throats. Until we realize this President has failed our nation will face more and more problems.

Quotes At a Rally in Florida: Florida,  I need your vote. I was born here, raised here, and was first elected as a State Representative here. I have lived here my entire life showing my commitment for everyone here. Whether as a private citizen or a Senator for the entire state I have never forgotten my roots here. This is why I ask for your vote. I will use my experience in a diverse state like Florida to lead our nation. I cannot allow a third term of a downhill spiral in our nation but instead will give our party and America a strong message about what is right for this country!
                      A speech in New Hampshire Thanks to people like Senator Ayotte I can feel our solid support. Whether here in New Hampshire or down in South Carolina I have been spread my message about fixing America tirelessly. I will end Obamacare and that viscious cap-and-trade bill. I will respect every life and will help our friends all around the world. America deserves better than a third term of dissapointment we deserve results.

Marco Rubio Debate Responses

1. We spent a decade helping free Afghanistan and now our president is just going to let all the hard work of many men and women go down the drain. This is just one of the irresponsible descions that this Administration has made. I completely disagree with his plan and view that if the descion is necessary I will take action.

2. I would first like to send my condolences to the Paul family. He was a great man and citizen for our country.
    In the current situation between Iran and India I believe our nation needs to take a hard line against Iran and openly aid India throughsupplies and equipment. If necessary due to a safety issue for our nation I believe it would be best for our nation to stand with India.

3.Cyberterrorism has been increasing steadily over the years. We need to begin taking a hard line on those willing to commit this version of terrorism. We need to spend more if it means protecting our nation's security. This  in my opinion just as big of a threat as other types of terrorism and needs to be treated as one.

[Spamage]

Sarah Palin:

Hello my fellow Republicans. The choice for my endorsement was difficult at first. But soon a cantidate emerged as my favorite. He stood out as a bold conservative alternative to the Democratic Party. Under his presidency America will rebound in our foreign policy and begin a nnew era contrasting the awful leadership of the past for years. For the reason Republicans I ask you to join me in voting for MARCO RUBIO!


Condi Rice:

Hello, and thank you for attending this news conference. This race has been very interesting with many cantidates who would all be an improvement on our current administration. But with my years as Sercetary of State I have met and delt with foreign issues. One of the few cantidates who I view as strong on  this issue is Marco Rubio. His stand on all issues not just foreign policy inspired me to make this desicion. Whether it was his victory in the Florida Senate election or his hard stand against protesters that were in favor of illegal immigration he has been a firm and strong cantidate.Thats why I need you to vote for him! Thank  you!

Statement from the Rubio Campaign: We greatly appreciate the endorsements of Governer Palin and Sercratary Rice. They have seen Rubio's commitment and we will be campigning with them over the next several weeks.

[Spamage]

Rick Santorum

2012 was an exciting election year but 2016 looks as though it will be more interesting. The incompitence of the Administration will be continued if a Democrat is elected. On the Republican side I have been continuing to follow the race. It was early on I realized there was one cantidate that stood out. Whether it was their devotion to every life or their positive campaigning they stood out to me as a Conservative who can win. I followed his campaign since his announcement and am now proud to endorse United States Senator Marco Rubio.
   I view his competence on many issues and his experience in the Senate standing against Obamacare and cap-and-trade as assets for our victory when we take back the White House, lead our party to not just a presidential victory but those in the house and senate, and make 2016 a truly powerful year when America decides that apologizing to other nations doesn't cut it and that ignoring our worldwide allies is wrong. America, Rubio will lead our party and I hope you join me in voting for him. Thank you.

                   Not only has he been a key ally in the Senate but he has stood for core Conservative values.

Marco Rubio in South Carolina: "Its good to be back, South Carolina! Especially with the new endorsement of Senator Jim Demint he is a great man and is very good at his job. I'm also joined by several other people here on this stage. I'll introduce you to all three but I'm positive you all know who they are! First to my right we have Sarah Palin, she is one of the most devoted Conservatives I have met and I'm proud to have her endorsement. To her right we have former Secratary of State Condolezza Rice. A true patriot who helped stand up for America in an era of terrorism. And last, but definitely not least we have former senator and presidential cantidate Rick Santorum. He ran an amazing campaign last time and I must admit he did recieve my vote. He has a true passion and devotion to important social issues and ran an amazing campaign. I'm proud to have all 3 of these huge endorsements. However, it will be you who will show the rest of the nation your true support. This state is crucial in the primaries and based on the support I'm seeing we will make up the one percent point seperating us from the lead and carry a victory in South Carolina! Thank you for your support (cheers.)
