EXCERPTS FROM JEB BUSH
ANNOUNCEMENT SPEECH
Miami, FL— In advance of Governor Jeb Bush’s announcement speech at Miami-Dade Community College today, please find excerpts of his remarks below. There is no embargo.
“We will take command of our future once again in this country.”
“We will lift our sights again, make opportunity common again, get events in the world moving our way again.”
“We will take Washington – the static capital of this dynamic country – out of the business of causing problems.”
“We will get back on the side of free enterprise and free people.”
“I know we can fix this. Because I’ve done it.”
...
“In any language, my message will be an optimistic one because I am certain that we can make the decades just ahead in America the greatest time ever to be alive in this world.”
“That chance, that hope requires the best that is in us, and I will give it my all.”
“I will campaign as I would serve, going everywhere, speaking to everyone, keeping my word, facing the issues without flinching, and staying true to what I believe.“
“I will take nothing and no one for granted. I will run with heart. I will run to win. “
…
“We made Florida number one in job creation and number one in small business creation. 1.3 million new jobs, 4.4 percent growth, higher family income, eight balanced budgets, and tax cuts eight years in a row that saved our people and businesses 19 billion dollars.”
“All this plus a bond upgrade to Triple-A compared to the sorry downgrade of America’s credit in these years. That was the commitment, and that is the record that turned this state around.”
“I also used my veto power to protect our taxpayers from needless spending.”
My Official 2016 Announcement
President Obama has failed us. Hillary Clinton would fail us. We cannot afford another four years of the same failed policies. That’s why I announced today that I’m running for President. That’s why I need your support right now.
Under their watch, the economic recovery has been the slowest ever, debt has ballooned, and the American dream has been put out of reach for millions of families.
Mike, America deserves better. You deserve better, and I think you know it. If you’re ready for something better, I want you with me on Day One: make a donation right now and, be part of the team that will put America back on the right track.
I won’t pretend that the challenges ahead aren’t daunting. They are. But the stakes are high, and I know that if we give it everything we can, we will not fail.
Together, we will expand opportunity for all, put government on the side of free enterprise and free people, and bring back American exceptionalism and leadership across the globe.
This won’t be easy. A campaign’s not supposed to be.
But I am ready for this challenge. I hope you will stand with me on Day One and chip in $100, $50, or $25 today.
The simple truth is this: the Democrats have offered a progressive agenda these past six years that includes everything but progress. You and I know these past six years do not represent America’s best—that’s why I’m running. Our country is on a very bad course. We can’t sit by and let this amazing nation be mismanaged and misled for another minute, much less another 4 years.
Today is about a new beginning. Today, we launch a campaign to revive America and bring conservative leadership back to the White House.
In this moment, I am focused on all the opportunities our society can extend to every American.
I am focused on all the dreams that this country can make reality.
I am focused on all the parents who will hand a life better than their own to their children because of what we will do together.
I hope you’ll stand with me and make all of this possible: Jeb2016.com/Day-One
I make you the promise here and now that I will campaign as I would serve: I will go everywhere, speak to everyone, keep my word, face the tough issues without flinching, and stay true to what I believe.
I will take nothing, and no one for granted. I will run with heart, and together, we will win.
It begins now.
