America
has always been energized by the power of ideas, the decency of its
people, and the unifying passion of a purpose in our lives and blessed
country. Although we've faced many challenges, we have always risen to
overcome them.
As
a result, America is known throughout the world for its extraordinary
courage: To come together. To stand in harm's way. To speak out. To
reach for new heights. And to never, ever give up.
With
millions unemployed and an economy sputtering, many people today have
seen their dreams diminished. Parents don't know if their children will
enjoy the same opportunities they had growing up. And entrepreneurs are
worried Washington will make it impossible for their business to survive
or be passed on to their children.
These
stories are being told all across Virginia and the nation. And though
they're very real stories of our present, they don't have to be
prevalent stories in our future.
The
power of our nation's purpose remains as strong as ever and that fight
for America's future is ours to win. We need people in Washington who
share America's vision for the three ideals most of us still want our
nation to be: free, strong, and a beacon.
In
many ways, this election is about the freedom that made America great
and prosperous. Freedom to start and grow a small business. Freedom to
choose the doctors and medical care we want. Freedom to practice our
religion and uphold our moral traditions. Freedom to use our plentiful
energy resources to control our destiny for job growth and more
affordable fuel, food and electricity. Freedom to make local decisions.
Freedom from a bloated, debt-ridden intrusive government that not even
the richest country on Earth can afford.
We
are currently on a dangerous path for our nation and our families. With
every new tax, regulation and mandate our country grows less free and
less prosperous.
America's
citizens — not a distant, unaccountable government — are most capable
of making the decisions for ourselves and our families.
Washington powers are wrong — and this November, we must stand together to tell them so. …
