Marco Rubio's Victory Speech in Wilmington, Delaware

Own creation

Thank you Delaware! Thank you so very much!

Just 3 days ago, the mainstream media wanted to declare us dead. But we proved them wrong, we fought so hard in every corner of that state focused on issues and consulting every voice across the Diamond State and came out on top. And it’s not even close. So tonight, the people of Delaware sent a clear message that they would not let themselves being told what to do. We, the people, the citizens of the United States, get to decide our next president, not the mainstream media, not anyone else but the people of America.

Once again, in the last few days and weeks, we indicated how much we have great projects for America, great projects inspiring the American people such as developing new infrastructures through public-private partnerships and promotion of free enterprise, making the establishment of Lunar Gateway our top priority in terms of space exploration to launch a crewed mission to Mars by 2030 and strengthen  America’s status as the leader in space exploration and getting us to a total of 100 nuclear power plants in America by 2050 through the building of 40 new plants in order to make the U.S. the leader in nuclear energy export and production and to secure our country’s path to energy independence and energy dominance. These are ambitions that will help us in our quest to preserve America’s greatness which is key to the maintenance and expansion of the American Dream to ensure that our children inherit from us, what we inherited from our parents, the single greatest nation in the history of all of mankind.

We have proven the American people that we have the right solutions to our challenges, solutions that will bring us together as a nation. We made it clear that the right solution to reduce our debt and our deficit and bring them under control is not to raise taxes like Tammy Duckworth and Jeff Merkley want to do, but to reduce wasteful spending which we will do by stopping out-of-control spending, by passing term limits in Congress, by passing a balanced budget amendment, by vetoing bridge-to-nowhere projects, by vetoing earmarks and by encouraging fiscal discipline and responsibility. And in order to keep America safe, we put forward a plan that will combat Boko Haram without needing to send additional U.S. troops in harm’s way thanks to operations implicating unmanned military arsenal and thanks to the provision of arsenal and military training to our allies. That way, we will defeat radical Islamic terrorism without deploying ground troops while keeping American leadership strong because that’s how peace through strength works.

Delaware, thanks to this big victory that you gave us tonight, you helped us building up the necessary strong momentum for Super Tuesday. So let's keep everything we've got and let’s keep the great work for Super Tuesday thanks to that momentum and we will win big on Super Tuesday and make a great step much closer to the nomination and to America's victory in November through the continuation of the successful progress of the last eight years.

Thank you! God bless Delaware and God bless the United States of America!

Marco Rubio's GOTV speech in New York City, New York

Own creation

Hello New York!

It’s emotional for me to give my GOTV speech right here in New York. New York City is home to a great symbol of freedom : the Statue of Liberty, which has been given to America from France as a gift to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence ratified in a time of fight for America’s freedom, integrity and independence. It is here in this city where, 27 years ago, I proposed to the love of my life Jeanette Rubio at the top of the Empire State Building and where I became the luckiest man on Earth when Jeanette accepted to marry me. It is also here in this great and wonderful city that Ronald Reagan announced his candidacy for President in 1979 for the 1980 campaign during a time of crisis in which our economy was struggling due to big government, high inflation and an oil crisis and in which America was facing a hostage crisis in Iran and an edge by the Soviet Union in nuclear weaponry. But he fixed America by cutting taxes and lowering the size of government, encouraging strong economic growth and job creation and reducing our unemployment rate by 2 % and by rebuilding our military, giving us the advantage over the Soviet Union and leading us to victory in the Cold War. It is here that Donald Trump announced his run for the presidency and it is after that that he got this country to where we are today : the strongest economy in modern history, the creation of 7 million new jobs and lowest unemployment rate in 50 years thanks to tax-cut and free enterprise policies, secured borders, protection of America’s constitutional rights thanks to the nomination of conservative judges and a country much safer than it was 8 years ago thanks to a rebuilding and modernization of our military and thanks to strong American leadership, which defeated ISIS in the Middle East and eliminated Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and got the world to the denuclearization of North Korea and Iran, getting us to permanent global peace now more than ever. And you know, New York is also a symbol of America’s prosperity through free enterprise : New York is home to companies like IBM, PepsiCo, Verizon, Icahn Enterprises, Pfizer and Icahn Enterprises. New York is the second best city in the world for business travel and The Atlantic has ranked New York City #2 in entrepreneurial environment. And I know what it takes to keep the economy growing. In the U.S. Senate, I cosponsored the AGREE Act that increased tax credits and exemptions for companies investing in R & D, equipment and other capital and gave tax credits for veterans opening a business franchise. I cosponsored the Regulation Costs to Small Businesses Act requiring the Small Business Administration to lead every year a study of the total cost of regulations on small businesses. In 2017, in an effort to make the Trump tax cuts successful and permanent, I fought to double the child tax credit from $1000 to $2000 and so that's what President Trump did, which strengthened our economy and increased American consumers' purchasing power. And as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, I fought to preserve America’s status as the best place in the world to do business by promoting and passing legislation reducing businesses’ and taxpayers’ fiscal burden. And New York is also the place where America suffered the worst attack in history on September 11th 2001, when terrorists decided to take on America’s freedom, after which we made it clear that we would not surrender to terror and tyranny and we and our allies tracked, fought and defeated Al Qaida and killed Bin Laden and a new World Trade Center was built on the same site as the original, which is a victory of life over death. And as a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and as Vice-President of the United States, I have the right foreign policy credentials to keep America safe and we will do so by providing military training and weaponry to our allies in West Africa to help them combat Boko Haram and by taking on Boko Haram’s oil refineries to deprive them of revenues from their oil drilling activities to fund their war effort. If Sergei Polonsky is elected President of Russia this spring, I will work with him to normalize our relations between the US and Russia in the first 100 days of my presidency and together we’ll be strong partners for the protection of human rights, peace and stability on the international stage. And to accomplish our path to permanent nuclear security, I will work with our allies to ratify the Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty that will prohibit the use of fissile material to build nuclear weapons.

My friends, America’s future is at stake in this election : either we move backwards, like the 2 Democratic presidential candidates are suggesting, through higher taxes, higher regulations on America’s energy industry, big government policies that will ship jobs overseas, deep cuts in the military that will diminish America’s security and make our country an easier target for terrorism or we keep moving forward thanks to the promotion of tax reform, free enterprise, fiscal discipline, free market healthcare system, defense of our people’s constitutional rights, strong military and American leadership. And thanks to my experience and agenda, our country will head in the right direction and will get to full employment, permanent prosperity and long-term global prosperity. And that’s why I ask you to mobilize at the highest possible number in all of the Super Tuesday states to fight for your future and to make sure that our children and grandchildren will be the most prosperous, freest and safest generations of Americans that ever lived.

Thank you! God bless you and God bless the United States of America!

Ted Cruz’s speech in Texas

Location : Houston, Texas

Date : March 2, 2024



Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Cruz#/media/File:Ted_Cruz_official_116th_portrait.jpg

Hello Texas!

I’m here to speak on behalf my friend Vice-President Marco Rubio, the next President of the United States of America. Among all the presidential candidates running in this campaign, Marco Rubio is the best one to defend the values embraced by Texans, including tax reform and small government, defense of our constitutional rights, energy independence, strong and secured borders, etc. He has the right experience to continue the progress of the last 8 years, including economic booming that has been made possible thanks to tax cuts, free enterprise and fiscal responsibility and strong national security thanks to a strong military, alliances and American leadership. As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, Marco knows that America’s prosperity requires making America the best place in the world to do business and that’s what he will do by cutting taxes, taking advantage of all of America’s sources of energy, reducing our corporate tax rate from 21 % to 15 %, promoting free trade for our competitiveness in the world economy, balancing the budget and encourage public-private partnerships to ensure the development of new infrastructures in this country. As a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and as Vice-President of the United States, Marco understands what it takes to keep this great country safe and he will do it by keeping our borders secured, keeping our military strong and modernizing it, expanding our alliances and staying on offense against terror.

In 2017, Hurricane Harvey has hit Texas, causing serious damages and depriving people of their home. In the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey, myself, Marco and John Cornyn introduced the Emergency Tax Relief for the families of victims of Hurricane Harvey, a bill that gave $5 billion in emergency tax relief for families impacted by Hurricane Harvey to help them recover from that disaster and that this law passed both Houses of Congress overwhelmingly. That is the kind of leadership America needs in a President in order to protect America against such kind of disasters.

Free trade is a key to America’s prosperity, including Texas due to its proximity with Mexico. Here in Texas, approximately 950,000 jobs depend on trade with our North American neighbors. Not only did Canada and Mexico buy $137 billion of Texas’ exports in 2018, sales of Texas goods and services to our North American neighbors accounted for about 43% of our state’s total exports to the world. These are staggering numbers that grew even more thanks to the implementation of the USMCA that is preserving all these benefits and ensures U.S. manufacturers, farmers, ranchers and service providers can maintain duty-free access to the Canadian and Mexican markets. Free trade is also good for farmers in this country, including here in Texas, as the USMCA increased total annual U.S. agricultural and food exports by $2.2 billion and dairy exports to Canada and Mexico raised by $227 million and $50.6 million, respectively, over the baseline, while imports grew by $227.9 million. And Marco Rubio made a remarkable contribution to the successful renegotiation of NAFTA by introducing the Defending Domestic Produce Production Act to help Florida fruit and vegetable growers combat Mexico’s unfair trade practices by allowing farmers to petition the Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission to investigate illegal subsidies and dumping of Mexican fruits and vegetables in the U.S. market. So as President of the United States, Marco Rubio will champion free trade by ratifying pro-growth trade deals with Latin America, Europe and with our allies in the Pacific in order to make America the most competitive nation in the world economy and that will be a wonderful deal for Texas as it will ensure that this state will continue to be a leader in the nation in terms of job creation.

America is facing the Opioid crisis, one of the deadliest epidemics ever to hit this country, killing tens of thousands of people in this country every year. And that is an issue that is personal to me. My older sister Myriam died of a drug overdose. People across the state of Texas, 70 000 people, are dying of drug overdoses every year. And Texas is ranked 20th in the nation for children affected by the Opioid Crisis. I believe it would be a serious mistake to legalize opioids like all other presidential candidates want to do. Only Marco Rubio understands the terrible consequences of the Opioid crisis in this country, he understands that it will make it even worse as it will embolden fentanyl traffickers by making it easier for them to orchestrate their drug trafficking activities and by making opioids easily accessible because drug companies pushed for doctors and the government to embrace their drugs and different levels of government loosened access to opioids after lobbying from drug companies. That’s why Marco co-introduced the Fentanyl Sanctions Act of 2019, a bipartisan anti-opioid measure to impose sanctions against Chinese and other foreign traffickers of fentanyl. Six years ago, he also supported provisions to the SUPPORT Act, the single largest legislative package addressing a single drug crisis in history, to help stop payments to middlemen referring patients to illicit sober homes and treatment centers; an amendment to improve the quality of care provided to newborn babies suffering from opioid withdrawal by providing states additional funding to research babies born with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome; the Hospice Safe Drug Disposal Act to allow hospice providers to safely dispose of unused opioids so they do not end up in the wrong hands; the Sober Home Fraud Detection Act to help states, law enforcement, private insurers and patients identify potentially illicit sober homes to make sure those who need care are able to find reputable legitimate facilities; the SALTS Act that made it easier for law enforcement to prosecute those that sell and distribute synthetic drugs that are substantially similar to other illegal drugs by closing a loophole that enabled wrongdoers to avoid prosecution by simply labeling the deadly drug as “not intended for human consumption”; and the Synthetics Trafficking and Overdose Prevention (STOP) Act, legislation to interdict fentanyl, synthetic opioids, and other narcotics by requiring international shipments through the U.S. Postal Service to provide advance information on where the shipment is coming from, where it is going, and its contents, and to instruct U.S. Postal Service and Customs and Border Protection to develop technology to identify fentanyl and illicit opioids entering the United States by mail. And as President of the United States, Marco will reduce demand and over-prescription, including educating Americans about the dangers of opioid misuse; cut down on the supply of illicit drugs by cracking down on the international and domestic drug supply chains that devastate American communities; and help those struggling with addiction through evidence-based treatment and recovery support services.

As a constitutional conservative, Marco Rubio will nominate conservative judges who will protect your Second Amendment rights, the life of the unborn, freedom of religion and the states’ rights.

Right here, in Houston, Texas, is located the Johnson Space Center that was formed in 1961 in the context of the Space Race between us and the Soviets, a contest which we won by sending men to the Moon, 55 years ago. Right now, America’s objective is to send a crewed mission to Mars by 2030 and that’s why, as President of the United States, Marco Rubio will make the establishment of a manned lunar base named Lunar Gateway on the Moon by 2028 his top priority in terms of space exploration to give us a springboard for crewed missions to the Moon and Mars, thus making our goal to get astronauts to Mars possible. And that will give Texas an opportunity to further strengthen its status as a leader in America’s space exploration program.

Texas is leading the nation in terms of energy production, including in crude oil production, natural gas production and electricity production and in wind-powered generation. And by abolishing Obama’s War on Coal and by approving the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, the Trump Administration has favored massive job creation and allowed America to make a giant step closer towards energy independence. Marco Rubio will pursue those pro-growth policies by encouraging oil drilling and approving the construction of pipelines to facilitate oil transportation. He will also use a part of the revenues from oil drilling into the development of renewable energies. He also has a plan to make America the world’s leader in terms of nuclear energy export and production by encouraging the building of 40 new nuclear power plants in the US by 2050 and that will be done by investing a part of the revenues from oil drilling in the development of renewable energies, including nuclear, and through tax credits for advanced nuclear projects and subsidies for the building of new nuclear power plants. That way, we will get America to energy independence by taking advantage of our oil, gas, nuclear, coal, solar, nuclear, hydraulic and geothermal energies.

So my fellow Texans, my fellow Americans, time has come for us to go to the polls in order to pursue the progress of the last 8 years. Let’s elect Marco Rubio as the next President of the United States of America and he will get things done and he will get us to full employment, energy independence, permanent preservation of freedom and long-term global peace and, most of all, ensure the preservation of America’s greatness.

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

Bondi touted Rubio’s space exploration plan to prioritize the establishment of Lunar Gateway on the lunar base by 2028 to propel the launch of a crewed missions to Mars and to the Moon, which will ensure the accomplishment of America’s goal to launch a manned mission to Mars by 2030 and give Florida another great opportunity to reinforce its status as the leader in America’s space exploration program (due to Florida’s sizable aerospace industry and to the location of the Kennedy Space Center of the Cape Canaveral and Merritt Island launch sites in the Sunshine State).

President of the National Republican Hispanic Assembly Betty Cardenas campaigns for Rubio in California, Nevada, New York, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Virginia, Oklahoma and Texas to attract Hispanic voters in those states to mobilize and go to the polls on Super Tuesday to reinforce Rubio’s Hispanic voter turnout by touting the Rubio’s Hispanic heritage as well as his school choice agenda that will lead to lower education costs for families, including immigrant families living paycheck to paycheck, production of higher outcomes, in contrast to public education (which 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). Cardenas also praised Rubio’s free trade agenda that will champion free trade with Latin America, which will give American 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 and will also place  Hispanic small business workers among top importers, exporters, translators and executives who ensure such a cultural and commercial exchange.

Dean Heller's speech in Nevada

Location : Las Vegas, Nevada

Date : March 3, 2024


Source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Heller#/media/File:Dean_Heller,_official_portrait,_114th_Congress.jpg

You know, before Donald Trump was inaugurated President, 80 % of Nevada's territory was controlled by the federal government, which drastically restricted liberty as well as opportunities to prosper. But all of that has changed when President Trump came in office and adopted creative policies that reduced the size of government, cut taxes for all Americans, reduced our corporate tax rate from 40 % to 21 % and reduced the cost of doing business in America, thus making America the best place in the world to do business and thus bringing massive job creation thanks to the promotion of free enterprise and free market. As a result, the economy boomed all across the country, including here in Nevada where the unemployment rate went down by 2 %. These are policies that will be continued by Marco Rubio as the next President of the United States to ensure that all Americans will have jobs thanks to small government and free market.

There is more to be done about it, notably bringing our deficit under control. And Marco Rubio understands that the best way to do so is to fight wasteful spending not raising taxes because the reason we have debt and deficit is because Congress keeps spending. So as President, Marco Rubio will stop out-of-control spending, pass term limits in Congress, adopt a balanced budget amendment, veto bridge-to-nowhere projects, veto earmarks and encourage fiscal discipline and responsibility in order to reduce government spending and balance the budget.

Let's make Marco Rubio our nominee and our President so we can make sure that our prosperity will be permanent and that America's greatness will be uncontested. He will fight to make sure that, as Abraham Lincoln once said, our government will be of the people by the people for the people instead of a government of the government by the government for the government like the Democrats want to do. In short, Marco Rubio will fight to make certain that our government will defend the interests of the people.

Thank you. God bless Nevada and God bless America.

Vice-President Rubio campaigns for Republican congressional candidates ahead of special elections

-VP Rubio campaigns for Wes Allen in Montgomery, in AL-02, touting Allen’s conservative faith, his championship of tax reform and small government, his pro-life record and his support to the Second Amendment. Allen thanked the Vice-President for supporting him and campaigning for him and highlighted his conservative record while labeling his Democratic opponent Kelvin Lawrence as out of step with Alabama by highlighting Lawrence’s vote against authorizing execution by electrocution, his 2018 vote against authorizing public charter schools, his vote against authorizing « Stand your Ground » in defense of church members (which allows individuals to use self-defence, including with firearms, if such individual believes that another individual is using or about to use physical force against an employee, volunteer, or member of a church on church premises in the commission of a violent or sexual crime) and his vote in favor of increasing cigarette taxes. The Vice-President takes on the occasion to mobilize conservative turnout at its highest possible number to get Wes Allen elected at the House of Representatives to defend Alabama values.

-VP Rubio campaigns for Blake Filippi in Providence, in RI-at-large district (see at page 9).

-VP Rubio campaigns for Richard A. Smith in CT-05, praising Smith’s championship of tax reform, gun rights and his pledge to combat the Opioid Crisis.

-VP Rubio campaigns for Nancy Mace in SC-01, reminding voters that the American people wants the Congress to get things done and is tired of partisanship, thus taking on that occasion to warn voters that a vote for Joe Cunningham is a vote for a do-nothing Congress as Cunningham has already voted in favor of impeaching President Trump in 2019 and will certainly do it again if he is sent back to the House of Representatives. By contrast, he praised Nancy Mace’s record of getting things done for the good of South Carolina, including her vote in favor of establishing the State Department of Veterans Affairs. He also touted Mace’s pro-life beliefs due to her vote to prohibit abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected as well as her economic credentials as she worked as a businesswoman as she started a small consulting business named The Mace Group that provides public relations, marketing and web services to clients in a variety of industries in addition of having served as Vice Chair of The Citadel School of Business Advisory Board (which is why voters from SC-01 can count on her to keep their taxes low for the sake of a strong economy). He reminded voters that Mace also served as Vice Chair on the National Board of Directors for the Medal of Honor Bowl, which qualifies her to support veterans to provide them decent post-military careers.

Brett Baier : "Welcome one and all to the one night were the Primaries could be decided, Super Tuesday!"

Martha MacCullum : "This is a correct assumption, as the winner of most of these states usually go on to win the nomination for these parties. Now, if we can bring up the map that shows what state is voting tonight and for which party. Thank you."

Republican State Map

Democratic State Map

Brett Baier : "The Republicans have 961 Delegates up for grabs tonight. Meanwhile, the Democrats have 2,484 Delegates up for grabs. The two primary races are now one on ones, with Vice President Rubio facing Ivan Rodriguez for the Republican Nomination while Senators Duckworth and Merkley battle one another for the Democratic Nomination."

Now, let's get to the results. It is approximately close to 7 PM in the east and the polls in the states of Vermont, Virginia, and Georgia, as well as South Carolina's first district, are about to close. We will be able to quickly call Vermont and Georgia for the Republicans and just Georgia for the Democrats. Meanwhile, we'll have to wait for more results to come as South Carolina's 1st District, Virginia for both parties, and Vermont for the Democrats are all too close to call!"

Brett Baier : "And we have our first closings of the night. We at fox news can project that when all is said and done, Ivan Rodrigruez will win Georgia with 68% of the vote to Rubio's 38% while Merkley will win the state with 60 % to Duckworth's 40%.

VP Marco Rubio's Super Tuesday Victory Speech in New York City, New York

Own creation

Thank you! Thank you so very much, my friends for this night. Thank you New York, California, Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia.

[Crowd applauds]

Tonight is a great victory for our campaign and for America. Throughout history, whoever won most of the Super Tuesday states has went on to become the eventual Republican nominee. Tonight we won 9 of the 15 Super Tuesday contests and won the biggest prize contests : New York, California and Texas. And thanks to those victories, we reinforced our status as the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for President of the United States.

[Crowd cheers and applauds]

We're not taking anything for granted. So let's build upon the momentum you have given us tonight and and we will court every voice across this nation because that is how democracy works.

[Crowd cheers and applauds]

Even though we would have wished to keep all of our House seats in tonight's special elections, Blake Filippi's victory in RI-at-large district allowed us to make a House gain and to maintain our majority in the House of Representatives and it shows that our party is competitive again in New England blue states and shows how much Republican leadership and ideas are working across this great country, including in Rhode Island. Next month, we'll have another opportunity to reinforce our majority in the House of Representatives through the special election scheduled in CA-25 and I promise you that we're going to invest all of our efforts to win this seat and ensure the addition of a vote in favor of American prosperity through lower taxes, of the protection of the Constitution and of America's strength and security through a strong military and to keep moving our country forward.

[Crowd cheers and applauds]

Tonight is about hope, unity and greatness. Tonight is about how to make sure that our children and grandchildren will be the most prosperous and freest generations of Americans that ever lived and about how to pursue the progress of the last 8 years. That requires lower taxes, small government, taking advantage of our sources of energy, championing free trade and encouraging the development of new infrastructures which gave us the strongest economy in modern history with the lowest unemployment rate in more than 50 years and we're going to pursue that progress by cutting taxes for all Americans, getting our country to energy independence, encouraging free trade and fiscal discipline. And it also requires keeping our military strong, modernizing it, strong alliances and the promotion American leadership for the sake of peace through strength. And I have the right experience, background and agenda to get us there. As U.S. Senator, as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, as a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and as Vice-President of the United States I know how to get things done to move this country and that is exactly what the American people wants us to do. I'm proud to have passed those tough sanctions on Hezbollah, on Maduro's Venezuela, as well as my sponsored VA reform law in 2014, the Girls Count Act to fight human trafficking, the Regulation Costs to Small Businesses Act that required the Small Business Administration to lead every year a study of the total cost of regulations on small businesses and the Let Freedom Reign Act that provided the people of Venezuela the necessary support and arsenal to defeat Maduro's tyranny and successfully orchestrate their country's path to freedom, democracy and integrity. I'm proud to have helped President Trump to pass the largest tax cuts in the history of our country by leading the effort to double the child tax credit from $1000 to $2000, thus making those tax cuts permanent and even broader, which is how those tax cuts are benefiting the American people and American hard-working families and is strengthening America's status as the best place in the world to do business. And as Vice-President, I am proud to have helped President Trump to provide the economic prosperity that our country is now living, to secure our borders, to defeat ISIS and to get the world to the denuclearization of Iran and North Korea. And under my presidency, we're going to do more to pursue America's progress by advocating tax reform, small government and free enterprise to further expand prosperity, by standing with our allies to defeat Boko Haram and make Operation Ceasefire successful, normalizing our relations with Russia if Sergei Polonsky is elected President next month in the next few weeks (either on March 17 or on April 7 if a second round is necessitated in Russia) for the sake of global peace and the respect of freedom and human rights, by ratifying the Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty and by preserving America's status as the leader in space exploration through the establishment of a manned lunar base by 2028 to give us a springboard to missions to the Moon and Mars, thus ensuring the accomplishment of our goal to send a crewed mission to Mars by 2030. That's how we're going to preserve and even strengthen America's status as the greatest nation in the history of all of mankind by getting us to permanent economic prosperity, to permanent protection of our freedom and constitutional rights and to long-term global peace and security.

[Crowd cheers, applauds and chants USA! USA! USA!]

And in that process, we are now more than halfway from reaching the delegate threshold to win this nomination. That's why I ask for your support as we'll be on to Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Louisiana, Michigan, Idaho, Hawaii, Missouri and Mississippi in order to get us to the finish line, to bring our party together and to start the general election campaign to promote opportunity for all, to continue America's progress to preserve, protect and defend our country's freedom and to expand America's promise and the American Dream.

Thank you! God bless you all and God bless the United States of America!

Rubio claims significant lead in Super Tuesday victory

Vice President Rubio celebrated a major victory in New York City Tuesday night as he won more than 600 delegates, largely thanks to wins in the winner-take-all states of New York and California, as well as in the winner-take-most state of Texas. These three states alone accounted for 403 of the delegates he won last night. Rubio is now considered a significant frontrunner by many pundits, but many in the Rodriguez camp have gone against that line of thinking, pointing to the Governor's strong finishes in states such as Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia, all traditionally Republican states that are proving difficult to hold onto as they diversify. Only time will tell who is right.

Carson to retire following discussions with personal physician

Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN-07), the House Minority Leader, has announced that he will retire, effective March 10, from the House of Representatives, ceding his position to Minority Whip Eric Swalwell (D-CA-15). Rep. Jamilah Nasheed (D-MO-01) has been appointed as the new House Minority Whip. The special election for Carson's seat has been scheduled for May 26th, with the primary on April 20. Current favorites are State Sens. John Ruckelshaus (R) and Jean Breaux (D). The race is considered to be Democratic-leaning.

Trump taps Fmr. Governor Brian Sandoval for SCOTUS nod; Merkley states "full intention" to filibuster nomination

In a surprising reversal from the general consensus last week, President Donald Trump has announced that he will nominate former Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval to become the next United States Supreme Court Associate Justice, lauding Sandoval's achievements as governor and stating that he will make a "truly great Supreme Court justice." This comes as a surprise, given Trump had previously been reported to be considering Senator Ted Cruz, Mr. Ben Shapiro, and his own Attorney General for the position.

Indiana Governor's Motorcade Bombed by Group Calling Themselves "New Socialism"; Bombings Disavowed by Prominent Progressives; Gov. Holcomb Unharmed, Lt. Gov. Crouch Hospitalized with Two Fractures

A group of young radicals engaged in an act of domestic terrorism Monday afternoon, throwing homemade pipe bombs at the motorcade of Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb. The bombers were quickly arrested, screaming phrases such as "We are the future!", "Socialism is the future!", and, in many cases, "F--- the police!"

Numerous prominent progressives, including Sens. Bernie Sanders, Jeff Merkley, and Tammy Duckworth, have condemned the attacks, calling them "barbaric, vile, and reminiscent of a bygone era that culminated in the rise of fascism in Europe."

Total casualties included 3 dead and 12 injured, including the lieutenant governor, who, despite her injuries, has stated in a press release that she "hopes to be back in the office and serving the people of Indiana very soon." Governor Holcomb was unharmed.

Trump reportedly "had to be talked down" from using chemical, biological weapons to effect breakthrough in Turkey

A source from inside the White House told CBS News Friday that President Trump had to be "talked down" from using chemical and biological weapons in order to force a breakthrough in Turkey, where fighting has largely devolved into trench warfare.

Turkish President Erdogan has responded to these reports by claiming they are "yet more proof that the President of the United States is an unstable lunatic, and a servant of evil." Trump fired back over Twitter, stating that America has "never fought on the side of evil in its long history. We will prevail because we fight on the side of GOOD!"

Little change has been noted on the front in Turkey in the meantime.

America’s education system is among the best ones in the world. And here’s what to be done in order to make it even better and make sure that our children will have the tools they need to succeed in the best schools in the world. Under my education plan, we’re going to authorize tax breaks for individuals and companies that donate to school scholarship funds or help parents who home-school their children, which will expand elementary, secondary, and vocational education opportunities for students. It will also provide training for postsecondary students and workers seeking to gain new skills and advance their career through career and technical education, apprenticeships, certifications and other forms of workforce training. States will be able to opt into the program and be responsible for choosing which schools can receive the funding. School choice will keep reducing the costs for families to ensure their children's access to education and produced 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, which will expand opportunities for low-income students 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 is the best way to guarantee that our children will have all the necessary tools to graduate, to succeed and to get a decent job, thus helping our country to create the jobs of tomorrow. That’s why I need your vote to make sure that every child will earn the chance to learn and that every school will teach, thus making your children’s future bright.

When tariffs are applied, the American people lose because it is another form of taxes. It decreases America's competitiveness in the world economy and it is an obstacle to our country's prosperity. Tariffs gave us the Great Depression (referring to the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act) and helped lead to World War II (as the devastating effects of the Great Depression on the international economy helped Hitler in his rise to power in Germany) and brought about 60 million people losing their lives as a result of it.

Fortunately, thanks to the successful renegotiation of NAFTA by President Trump and to the ratification of the USMCA, which I voted for in the U.S. Senate, we turned things around : this new deal boosted auto manufacturing by requiring 75% of a vehicle's parts to be made in one of the 3 signatory countries in order to remain free from tariffs when moving between the U.S., Canada and Mexico, by strengthening labor laws, by keeping tariffs at zero while further opening up the Canadian market to US dairy, poultry and eggs and allowing more Canadian dairy, peanuts and peanut products to cross the border. As a result, we added 76 000 auto jobs in the last 5 years, increased exports and imports and strengthened our competitiveness in the world economy, contributing to the strong economic prosperity America is now living through the creation of 7 million jobs, including 500 000 in the manufacturing sector, and brought our unemployment rate in the lowest rate in 50 years. And under my presidency, we're going to keep championing free trade for the sake of our competitiveness in the world economy and our prosperity. We're going to trade with our allies in the Asia-Pacific, Latin America and Europe, thus counter-balancing China's trade power and ensuring strong job creation by lowering tariffs, increasing exports and imports, reducing the cost of trading, allowing American businesses to make direct investments into foreign economies to produce goods at a lower cost in these environments. The reason why we were losing jobs because of the deals under the Obama administration is that we had the highest corporate tax rate in the industrialized world (40 % and has, fortunately, been reduced to 21 % under Trump) while Singapore had the lowest (17 %) which is why they are prospering and have one of the lowest unemployment rates in the world. That's why we'll reduce our corporate tax rate to 15 % to make America the best place in the world to do business taxes for all businesses across the country, including manufacturing businesses, in order to make it easy for them to do business in America. That way, we will protect the interests of the our manufacturing workers while promoting free trade at the same time. And by the way, the reason of Mexico's advantage over us in terms of auto manufacturing was because Mexico had free trade agreements with 45 countries while the U.S. had free trade deals with only 20 countries. So if we expand free trade with our allies, friends and partners across the globe, we will reinforce auto manufacturing and make America number one again in auto production. I know how to get us there. As Chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, I know what it takes to keep this economy growing and as Vice-President I know what it is to negotiate to decent deals with foreign leaders because that's what I did in order to get things done as I traveled with President Trump around the world. If you want a proven leader who knows how to get us to such a competitive, dynamic and soaring economy for the sake of permanent prosperity, I ask you to join my crusade to grant opportunity for all.

Thank you. God bless you and God bless America.

Under the Obama Administration, the War on Coal has drastically gut our energy industry through regulations on America's coal industry, shipping coal mining jobs overseas, including to China where regulations on coal are lower, which deprived hard-working families of their access to heat as coal is the source of power to 20 million homes. As a result, America lost 25 000 coal jobs. But everything has changed when Donald Trump was elected : he abolished the War on Coal and promoted clean coal technologies, which brought coal mining jobs back here in America and encouraged job creation here in the United States. He also approved the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, facilitating oil transportation and production, and approved ANWR to oil drilling, making great steps towards our country's path to energy independence. Here's what's needs to be done in order to accomplish that path : encouraging oil drilling as well as permits and liscenses on federal lands, favoring the exploitation and production of renewable energies (wind, solar, hydroelectric, nuclear, geothermal, etc.) through the investment of a part of revenues from oil drilling into it and through tax credits. And thanks to my plan to build 40 new nuclear power plants by 2050 through tax credits for advanced nuclear projects and subsidies for building new nuclear power plants will not only favor job creation and a clean environment at the same time but also boost nuclear energy production at the point of making America the world's leader in nuclear energy export over Russia and China, thus reducing our dependence from foreign suppliers and foreign nuclear power and securing America's energy independence, an accomplishment that will also deprive radical Islamic terrorists and other anti-American forces (notably Boko Haram, Turkey and Vladimir Putin's Russia) of revenues from our energy dependence to fund any activities threatening America's national security, thus keeping America safe and prosperous.

Own creation
As Vice-President of the United States and as a candidate for the highest office in the world, I solemnly condemn the defamatory and outrageous comments by Recep Tayip Erdogan claiming that President Trump is a servant of evil. That is a total contrast from the truth. President Trump as well as all America have always been and will always be fighting on the side of good. That's why we defeated the evil represented by ISIS that was burning people in cages, beheading people, depriving people of their freedom of religion through genocide of the Kurds and attacked our liberty time and again for the values we believe in, which are gender equity, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, etc. Throughout history, America has always stood in the side of good against the evil represented by tyranny, oppression and terror and that's why we, along with our allies, delivered Europe from Germany's occupation during the 2 world wars and freed the Jews from Nazi persecution because Adolf Hitler was evil. This is why we stood up to the Japanese Empire and liberated the Pacific. That's why we stood up to the Soviet Union and communism and fought it all around the world during the Cold War because this was the Evil Empire. When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and occupied it, we and our allies intervened and liberated this small country. After we were attacked by Al Qaeda on 9/11, we and our allies worked together to fight the evil represented by radical Islamic terrorism and to all the state-sponsors of terrorism who were forming the Axis of Evil.

Meanwhile, Erdogan is actually the servant of evil. In effect, he is still denying the Armenian Genocide that is unanimously recognized by the rest of the world, including the United States. Despite the fact that the Kurds played an important role in defeating ISIS as we armed them and provided them military training, Erdogan's Turkey is still pursuing their war with the Kurds and wants to destroy them. Erdogan is none other than a terrorist who is slaying and arresting his own people for speaking up and protesting and made Turkey a state-sponsor of global terrorism. Under Erdogan's leadership, Turkey supported radical Islamic terrorist groups like al-Nusra (the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda) and Ahrar al-Sham. The moreover that in 2014, the Turkish government had stamped passports of foreigners seeking to cross the Turkey-Syria border and join ISIL.

And President Trump and all America have always and will always stand on the side of good for the sake of freedom, democracy, security, stability and integrity around the world. And that is why we will prevail. And thanks to my foreign policy experience and credentials, we will prevail. The best way to get us there is to impose an embargo on Turkish oil to weaken their economy as oil is a basic pillar of the Turkish economy and to aweaken their military power as their military, like every modern military, mostly function through oil, which will help our allies to defeat the Turkish troops; to sanction weaponry supplies to Turkey; to get our Greek allies to deploy some of their warships from Constantinople to the Black Sea in order to intercept any Russian ship attempting to provide weaponry to Turkey, thus depriving Turkey of any war effort; to provide the Kurds in weaponry; and to convince India to involve in weaponry provision, military training and intelligence support for the Kurds due to India’s membership in the Tehran Pact and due to Turkey’s support to Pakistan and to the terrorist organizations state-sponsored by Pakistan, thus helping the Coalition forces to overpower Turkish troops thanks contributions from the 4th military power in the world and to counter the power of Russian and Chinese troops present in Turkey. That's what I'm going to do as President of the United States and that's how we're going to defeat Turkey in Operation Ceasefire, to get Erdogan to the negotiating table and to lead to the recognition of Kurdistan's independence by Turkey for the sake of freedom, justice, stability and integrity in the Middle East. Why? Because we fight on the side of good.

Own creation
As Vice-President of the United States and as a candidate for the highest office in the world, I solemnly condemn the defamatory and outrageous comments by Recep Tayip Erdogan claiming that President Trump is a servant of evil. That is a total contrast from the truth. President Trump as well as all America have always been and will always be fighting on the side of good. That's why we defeated the evil represented by ISIS that was burning people in cages, beheading people, depriving people of their freedom of religion through genocide of the Kurds and attacked our liberty time and again for the values we believe in, which are gender equity, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, etc. Throughout history, America has always stood in the side of good against the evil represented by tyranny, oppression and terror and that's why we, along with our allies, delivered Europe from Germany's occupation during the 2 world wars and freed the Jews from Nazi persecution because Adolf Hitler was evil. This is why we stood up to the Japanese Empire and liberated the Pacific. That's why we stood up to the Soviet Union and communism and fought it all around the world during the Cold War because this was the Evil Empire. When Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait and occupied it, we and our allies intervened and liberated this small country. After we were attacked by Al Qaeda on 9/11, we and our allies worked together to fight the evil represented by radical Islamic terrorism and to all the state-sponsors of terrorism who were forming the Axis of Evil.

Meanwhile, Erdogan is actually the servant of evil. In effect, he is still denying the Armenian Genocide that is unanimously recognized by the rest of the world, including the United States. Despite the fact that the Kurds played an important role in defeating ISIS as we armed them and provided them military training, Erdogan's Turkey is still pursuing their war with the Kurds and wants to destroy them. Erdogan is none other than a terrorist who is slaying and arresting his own people for speaking up and protesting and made Turkey a state-sponsor of global terrorism. Under Erdogan's leadership, Turkey supported radical Islamic terrorist groups like al-Nusra (the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda) and Ahrar al-Sham. The moreover that in 2014, the Turkish government had stamped passports of foreigners seeking to cross the Turkey-Syria border and join ISIL.

And President Trump and all America have always and will always stand on the side of good for the sake of freedom, democracy, security, stability and integrity around the world. And that is why we will prevail. And thanks to my foreign policy experience and credentials, we will prevail. The best way to get us there is to impose an embargo on Turkish oil to weaken their economy as oil is a basic pillar of the Turkish economy and to aweaken their military power as their military, like every modern military, mostly function through oil, which will help our allies to defeat the Turkish troops; to sanction weaponry supplies to Turkey; to get our Greek allies to deploy some of their warships from Constantinople to the Black Sea in order to intercept any Russian ship attempting to provide weaponry to Turkey, thus depriving Turkey of any war effort; to provide the Kurds in weaponry; and to convince India to involve in weaponry provision, military training and intelligence support for the Kurds due to India’s membership in the Tehran Pact and due to Turkey’s support to Pakistan and to the terrorist organizations state-sponsored by Pakistan, thus helping the Coalition forces to overpower Turkish troops thanks contributions from the 4th military power in the world and to counter the power of Russian and Chinese troops present in Turkey. That's what I'm going to do as President of the United States and that's how we're going to defeat Turkey in Operation Ceasefire, to get Erdogan to the negotiating table and to lead to the recognition of Kurdistan's independence by Turkey for the sake of freedom, justice, stability and integrity in the Middle East. Why? Because we fight on the side of good.

Source : https://www.rubio.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/press-releases?id=C6716DAE-6FEF-4CC2-A858-D7123F0728B5
Today is a great day for our Constitution and our freedom through the nomination of conservative judges. President Trump nominated former Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval for Supreme Court Justice. Governor Sandoval is one of the most qualified people for SCOTUS I've ever met : he is a constitutional conservative who is openly pro-life due to his opposition to federal abortion funding and his fight to protect the life of the unborn. He is an opponent of restrictions on the right to bear arms and a supporter of the Second Amendment and the right to self-defense when your life or your loved ones' lives are in danger. He believes in states' powers and in a free-market health care system like President Trump gave us by repealing and replacing Obamacare. Sandoval also served as Nevada Attorney General and under his tenure, he developed Nevada's first Public Integrity Unit and sponsored legislation strengthening Nevada's laws against domestic violence, drug abuse and human trafficking. He was also the chairman and a member of several state boards and commissions, including the Nevada Boards of Pardons, Prisons, Transportation, and Examiners; the Cyber-Crime Task Force; the Committee on Domestic Violence, and the Prosecutorial Advisory Council. So he knows what it takes to defend your constitutional rights at the Supreme Court. Right now the Democrats in the Senate, including Jeff Merkley and Tammy Duckworth, have stated full intention to fillibuster Sandoval's nomination, no wonder that they want to diminish your Second Amendment rights by writing them out of the Bill of Rights; that they want to tolerate abortions in every case; that they want to grant Guantanamo terrorists with constitutional rights while these terrorists are not U.S. citizens and they committed terrorist attacks against the United States and our allies, killing tens of thousands of people around the world; and nominate liberal justices who will advocate the closing of Guantanamo Bay, which will undermine our national security by allowing dangerous terrorists to seize any opportunity to escape, to be on the run once again and to commit terrorist attacks against the United States or their allies. Here is an important example of this matter of fact. After being detained in Guantanamo for terrorist activities, Said Ali al-Shiri, an Al-Qaeda jihadist, was released in 2007. After that, he returned to terrorism, co-founded the radical Islamic terrorist organization called Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in addition of calling upon Somali pirates to increase their attacks on western shipping and leading the Al-Qaeda insurgency in Yemen, killing thousands of people before being killed by a U.S. drone.

So in order to defend our country's constitutional rights, I'm proud to support Brian Sandoval's SCOTUS and as President of the Senate, I will not let the Democrats put your freedom under siege through strict gun control laws and tolerance of abortion. If necessary, I will cast the 51st vote needed to approve Sandoval's nomination in the case of a 50-50 deadlock senate vote and as President I will keep nominating constitutional conservatives at the Supreme Court to make the defense of your constitutional rights permanent and ensure the protection of America's freedom.

Thank you. God bless you and God bless America.

Own creation
I am proud to be a Republican. Throughout its history, the Republican Party has gained a reputation as a party of freedom.

We abolished slavery after a civil war, successfully fought to abolish Jim Crow laws, and by reinforcing our military we went on to win the Cold War. After 9/11, we took offense against terrorism, we restored freedom and democracy in Iraq as well as in Afghanistan and Venezuela, we defeated ISIS, we successfully got the world to the denuclearization of North Korea and Iran thanks to strong American leadership. We are defenders of free enterprise and of the Constitution of the United States and this country is on its path to elect Marco Rubio as the first Hispanic to serve as President of the United States of America.

In my entire adult life, I defended these values whether it's as a combat pilot, as a businessman or as a  U.S. senator. After 9/11, we made it clear that we would never surrender to terrorism and that together we will triumph against this evil called radical Islamic terrorism. It was with great honor that I engaged in the U.S. Air Force in Iraq when I went on to serve with distinction in Operation Iraqi Freedom where I earned a Combat Action Badge (CAB) and two Air Medals, among other awards, while logging 753.8 flight hours in theater leading two Apache platoons. And Marco Rubio has a decent and clear record in terms of taking care of American veterans like myself as he successfully co-sponsored the 2014 VA reform law by introducing a measure empowering the VA secretary to hold managers accountable for incompetence, negligence and corruption and to care more about veterans than bureaucrats because it's another way to reward our veterans for their military service and their sacrifices for America. Under President Trump and Vice-President Rubio, we passed the Veterans Care Financial Protection Act of 2022 after the withdrawal of our troops from Syria and Iraq in 2021, which made the federal Department of Veterans Affairs work with state and federal agencies to stop con men who are diverting federal aid away from veterans. As President, use a part of future budget surpluses in the development of new social security and job training programs for our veterans to make sure they will earn the best post-military service they can ever imagine. As a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and as Vice-President of the United States, Marco Rubio has the best foreign policy experience to defend all the values that we cherish and which our soldiers fought and/or died for : freedom, democracy, gender equity, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of religion. That's how he helped President Trump to defeat ISIS and denucleariza North Korea and Iran. As President, he will normalize our relations with Russia if Sergei Polonsky is elected President of Russia next week or next month for the sake of better relations with Russia to get America and Russia working together for the respect of human rights, territorial integrity, freedom and stability in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. He will defeat Boko Haram by keeping our military strong and modernizing it and standing with our Western African allies through the provision of military training and arsenal to get them to take on the responsibility of their own security. That will also be done through drone airstrikes on Boko Haram's controlled oil refineries to deprive them of revenues from their oil drilling activities to fund their war effort and their plans of terrorist attacks. That way, we will defeat our enemies without needing to send additional troops in Africa and through lower cost, keep America safe and strong and guarantee a stabilized global peace through strength thanks to the preservation of American leadership. Marco Rubio will work with our allies to ratify the Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty to prohibit the use of fissile material for the building of nuclear weapons or WMDs, thus securing our path to strong global peace and preventing any nuclear war.

After I came back home from my military service in Iraq, I became a businessman as well as the CEO of my family's business James Group International, a supply chain business that has the mission to manage and optimize its customer’s supply chain infrastructures and processes by designing and implementing complex supply chain solutions and leveraging information technology. I understand that America's economic strength comes from the promotion of free enterprise and free market, low taxes, small government, energy independence, free trade and reinforcement of America's status as the best place in the world to do business. Marco Rubio served as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. He knows perfectly what it takes to keep this economy growing and encourage job creation. No wonder that in 2017, he led the effort to double the child tax credit to $2000, making the Trump tax cuts even broader and permanent, which gave America the strongest economy in modern history through the creation of 7 million new jobs and the lowest unemployment rate in 50 years. As President of the United States, Marco Rubio will preserve America's status as the best business-friendly environment in the world. He will reduce taxes for all Americans, including the middle class, as well as the cost of doing business in America. He will get us to energy independence by encouraging our country to produce and exploit its own sources of energy (oil, gas, coal, nuclear, solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, etc.) and to take advantage of them. He'll promote school choice to grant parents the liberty to chose the decent schools for their children, ensuring decent careers for our children and grandchildren and guaranteeing the creation of the jobs of tomorrow. He'll balance the budget by reducing wasteful spending and encouraging fiscal discipline. And by promoting pulic/private partnerships, he will encourage the development of new infrastructures to encourage economic activities and the implantation of new businesses here in this country without increasing big government spending. This bright future will be possible thanks to the promotion of free enterprise, free market and pro-businesses policies. That is the contrast of the Tammy Duckworth's and Jeff Merkley's agenda that promotes higher taxes and regulations, higher government spending, weaker competitiveness in the world economy and punishes success. But Marco Rubio knows that in a democratic free market nation like America, we celebrate success. That's why he deserves our support and our vote in order to make sure we'll persist in our fight for freedom by winning our fight against terrorism, to get the world to permanent global peace, to get our country to full employment, to defend the Constitution and our democracy. We the people of the United States of America, stand for freedom and that's why we stand with Marco Rubio, the next President of the United States of America.

Thank you. God bless you. God bless Michigan and God bless the United States.

Marco Rubio's Speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference

Location : National Harbor, Maryland

Own creation

Hello. Good evening, my fellow conservatives, fellow Republicans and fellow Americans.

Tonight, I’m here at the Conservative Political Action Conference to discuss my vision of conservatism. Conservatism is the ideology of freedom.

Throughout the history of this country, our party has earned a reputation as a party of freedom. During a time in which America was divided by the slavery issue, our party, the Republican Party, was founded based on an anti-slavery agenda. And it was during the Civil War that Abraham Lincoln, the first Republican President, has abolished slavery, thus ensuring that all the American people can enjoy freedom and justice. We, Republicans, fought hard to abolish the shameful Jim Crow laws that were enacted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by white Democratic-dominated state legislatures after the Reconstruction period and that enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States. Because our purpose is to make sure that the American Dream can reach all the American people.

Sixty-eight years ago, my parents came to this country prior to the rise of Fidel Castro. They were living paycheck to paycheck, but the hardworking of a bartender and a housekeeper helped them to succeed in this new society and to raise their children. As the son of Cuban immigrants, I know what it looks like to lose the gift of freedom and that is why it has always been my family's purpose and my purpose to make sure that the next generation will be better off than the previous ones and that requires defending the values and freedom that our country offers. And time and again, conservatism has proven to be the right answer to our challenges and to our quest to preserve America's status as the greatest nation in the history of mankind.

Conservatism is the ideology championing freedom of religion that supports the freedom of an individual or community, in public or private, to manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance. It also includes the freedom to change one's religion or beliefs.

Conservatism is the ideology that believes in the freedom to self defense through the unviolable right to wear a fireweapon to protect your life and/or the life of your loved ones when those lives are in danger. While our political opponents want to restrict America's Second Amendment rights, we have to understand that the right solution to combat gun violence is to allow the Attorney General to block the transfer of firearms to suspected criminals and terrorists.

Conservatism is also the ideology that believes in the right for every human being, born or not, to live, to earn the priviledge of life. We need to be a pro-life party, we need to say life is precious. I believe that every single human being is entitled to the protection of our laws, whether they can vote or not. Whether they can speak or not. Whether they can hire a lawyer or not. Whether they have a birth certificate or not. And I think future generations will look back at this history of our country and call us barbarians for murdering millions of babies who we never gave them a chance to live. I believe one of the fundamental rights that God gave to us is the right to live. That's why I proposed to put in place the Human Life Amendment in order to prohibit abortion. That way, every human life will be protected by the Constitution of the United States. That way, we will lead our country to appreciate life and we will make sure that we will give to every American the priviledge to experience opportunity and to live the American Dream.

While our political opponents want to restrict all the rights I mentioned earlier, President Trump gave us the most conservative Supreme Court of the United States by nominating conservative judges who are advocating the defense of the Second Amendment, of the freedom of religion, of the freedom of speech, of the freedom of the press, of the life of the unborn and of secured and strong borders (which finally kept America safe and brought illegal immigration under control).

We, conservatives, believe in school choice that gives parents the freedom to chose where their children go to school. This freedom reduces the costs for families to ensure their children's access to education and produced higher outcomes compared to public education. It grants parents power to orientate their children out of poorly-performing schools assigned by zip code and look for better education elsewhere, which expands opportunities for low-income students to attend high-quality schools that would otherwise be accessible only to higher-income families, increasing their chances of success and of entry into the workforce.

Conservatism is the ideology of prosperity through capitalism, free enterprise, free market, free trade, small government, tax reform and fiscal discipline. We are the party that believes in the freedom to do business. The best way to ensure economic growth and job creation is to make America the best place in the world to do business and that is exactly what President Trump and I are doing. That's why I'm proud to have led the effort to double the Child Tax Credit to make the Trump tax cuts permanent and even broader, thus resulting to the strong economic prosperity that America is now living through the creation of 7 million new jobs and through the lowest unemployment rate in more than 50 years. The moreover that these tax-cut and free enterprise policies brought the Hispanic unemployment rate and the African-American unemployment rate at their lowest rates ever. Those results have also been made possible through my leadership as Chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship that led the way passing legislation reducing taxes and regulations on small businesses that create 70 percent of the jobs in America, thus reinforcing their competitiveness, productivity and ability to create jobs. These results have also been made possible by putting forward policies encouraging energy production and exploitation by abolishing the War on Coal and approving constructions of the Keystone XL pipeline and Dakota Access pipeline as well as oil drilling in ANWR, thus making major progress in our process to get America to energy independence, accomplishments that will also deprive radical Islamic terrorists and other anti-American forces (notably Boko Haram, Turkey and Vladimir Putin's Russia) of revenues from our energy dependence to fund any activities threatening America's national security, thus keeping America safe; free and prosperous. Our country's prosperity has also been made possible thanks to the promotion of free trade. In effect, thanks to the successful renegotiation of NAFTA by President Trump and to the ratification of the USMCA, which I voted for in the U.S. Senate as a champion of free trade and of America's economic competitiveness, we turned things around:this new deal boosted auto manufacturing by requiring 75% of a vehicle's parts to be made within one of the three signatory countries in order to remain free from tariffs when moving between the U.S., Canada and Mexico, by strengthening labor laws, by keeping tariffs at zero while further opening up the Canadian market to US dairy, poultry and eggs and allowing more Canadian dairy, peanuts and peanut products to cross the border. As a result we added 76 000 auto jobs in the last 5 years, increased exports and imports and strengthened our competitiveness in the world economy. Now, the Democrats want the American people to believe that we have debt and deficit because of tax cuts. They are wrong. The right solution to reduce the deficit is to encourage economic growth and job creation and thus that requires lowering taxes because there's nothing better for getting us to a balanced budget than having more people working, earning more money, paying more taxes. So my friends, the reason we have deficit and debt is not because we cut taxes in order to spur the economy. The reason we have deficit and debt is because Congress keeps spending and that’s why we need to stop out-of-control spending, we need term limits in Congress, we need to pass a balanced budget amendment, veto bridge-to-nowhere projects, veto earmarks and encourage fiscal discipline and responsibility in order to reduce government spending and balance the budget and to bring our deficit and our debt under control.

And finally, conservatism is the ideology that believes in strong American leadership and that the world is a safer place when America is the strongest military power in the world. After a time of crisis marked by a hostage crisis in Iran, by the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and by an arms race between the United States and the USSR, Ronald Reagan rebuilt our military and strengthened our diplomacy, thus taking the advantage over the Soviets at the point of leading America to victory in the Cold War. After 9/11, the deadliest terrorist attack that America has ever suffered in its history, we made it clear that we would not surrender to terror and that we will always defend our values, our freedom and our democracy and so we took offense against terrorism, we restored freedom and democracy in Iraq as well as in Afghanistan and we defeated Al Qaeda. After 8 years of weakness by the Obama Administration that weakened our military and our alliances, which resulted to a rise of ISIS and multiple terrorist attacks against us and our allies within a year, it was clear that the world needed American leadership more than ever. That's exactly what President Trump and I brought as our administration rebuilt, strengthened and modernized our military and expanded our alliances, which helped us to defeat ISIS and to denuclearize North Korea and Iran where I led the 2021 diplomatic trip that contributed to normalization of the US-Iran relations through getting Arsham Parsi's Iran to denuclearize and to stop state-sponsoring terrorism due to Arsham Parsi's friendliness with the United States of America, thus allowing us to make a great step towards global peace.

And that's why conservatism is the ideology of freedom and I'm proud to be a constitutional conservative Republican because I believe in those values. These are all values, ideas and policies that helped America to preserve and even expand its freedom, prosperity and security. And as long as we defend and promote those values, we're going to make sure that our children and grandchildren will inherit the single greatest nation in the history of the Earth and will be the most proseperous generation of Americans that ever lived and will be able to accomplish all the things that previous generations couldn't have done.

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

Merkley 2024

March 6: Merkley, enraged by the terrorist attack on Gov. Holcomb, went straight to the US Senate to propose a hastily-written bill. After condemning the attackers and the group the represent, he entered the Senate to propose the bill, designating New Socialism as a terrorist group, co-sponsered by Sens. Warren and Sanders. The bill will be proposed by Rep. Ocasio-Cortez in the House and co-sponsored by Reps. Kennedy and Grijalva

"These people have attacked an elected official of this nation. This is unacceptable. These are not the actions of a group that wants to change the nation. These are the actions of people who hate others without bothering to engage with them. Something shcokingly reminiscent of far-right and Islamic terror groups. I urge the Senate to support this bill to designate New Socialism a terrorist organization."

March 7-8: Merkley travelled to Michigan with Sen. Sanders to campaign among blue-collar workers, which he hopes will propel him to victory. He would hold large rallies in Detroit and Flint, unveiling his plan to protect US manufacturing while simultaneously engaging in fair trade with other nations. He also announced that his infrastructure plan would bring water pipes up to standard, ending the prospect of dangerous amounts of lead in the water. He also supported the urban farming initiatives that had taken place in both cities.

March 9-11: Travel to Missouri. Rallies and Town Halls were held in Kansas City, Columbia and Chesterfield, with the Senator sometimes doing 5 or 6 events per day. He also led knocked on doors in several rural communities, attempting to build up his support outside of urban areas. In addition, he also met with several black leaders in the state, attempting to further build his Rainbow Coalition, which he hopes will lock down the nomination.

March 12: Travel to Kansas. Merkely spent time highlighting his infrastructure and farming agenda, pointing to the successful,passing of the Rebuild America Act, though he also expressed skepticism the President would sign it. He again affirmed his intention to filibuster the nomination of Sandoval to the Supreme Court, stating:

"Yes, I intend to block the nomination. While his stance on the right to choose is reassuring, that is not the only reason. I have serious concerns over his position on Citizens United. That was one of the most egregious, shortsighted decisions in US history. I'm sorry, but unless he opposes Citizens United, I will filibuster the nomination."

Marco Rubio : This year, America made strong progress in space exploration. In the last 8 years, our Administration has made the relaunch of our space exploration program one of its top priorities. As a result, through Artemis 2, we sent, 2 months ago, a crewed mission to the Moon for the first time in 50 years and those men and women walked on the Moon and explored it and were safely brought back to the Earth, making this mission a success and reviving our space exploration program.

Right now, our next objective is Mars, which is why the NASA is planning to put in place a base on the Moon in the next 4 years to use it as a staging post for missions to the Moon and Mars. So as President of the United States, I will make Lunar Gateway my top priority in terms of space exploration. That way, America will strengthen its status as the leader in space exploration. We'll do it by preventing wasteful earmarks from diverting precious resources from critical scientific and aeronautics research. We will commit to funding the Artemis program to ensure it has the resources it needs for human space exploration. We will also encourage public-private partnerships to fund that project, thus making sure that the establishment of a manned base on the Moon’s surface will be accomplished by the end of my first term, which will give us a springboard to a crewed mission to Mars and guarantee that the accomplishment of our objective to send astronauts to Mars by 2030 will be fulfilled and that the United States will be the first country to do so, which, will be one small step for a man or a woman, but one giant leap for mankind.
