stryker and david fisher __PUNCT__ would step forward __PUNCT__ as well as drew iver __PUNCT__ who been the chairman __PUNCT__ and thei ar on the central_committe and thei have led the charg all throughout iowa __PUNCT__

but all i can think about in tough campaign and all the hard_work is the work you peopl do __PUNCT__

it is unbeliev __PUNCT__ the energi you have and the effort that you have made __PUNCT__

but what make me feel_good about it is you do it becaus you believ in someth __PUNCT__

that is what worthwhil __PUNCT__

but you __PUNCT__ but you also __PUNCT__ also know that there two good_thing __PUNCT__

some peopl sai __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ you gui just do that becaus you believ in someth to promot a caus __PUNCT__

certainli __PUNCT__ but how the best wai to promot a caus __PUNCT__ that is to win_elect __PUNCT__

that wai you promot it __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ the enthusiasm ha been unbeliev __PUNCT__

it fantast __PUNCT__

it nation __PUNCT__

thousand of peopl now have been involv __PUNCT__ and not onli in iowa __PUNCT__ but around the countri __PUNCT__ and thei readi and rare to go __PUNCT__

but we have to look at wonder chang that have occur in our countri in a posit wai __PUNCT__

the countri ha suffer a lot in a neg wai __PUNCT__

the economi in troubl __PUNCT__ our civil_liberti ar be trash __PUNCT__ our foreign_polici ha been a mess and drain us __PUNCT__ both econom and our militari_forc __PUNCT__

but at the same_time __PUNCT__ peopl ar come togeth and we had the task __PUNCT__ which is where we ar veri success is reintroduc some idea the republican need for a long_time __PUNCT__ and that is __PUNCT__ that is the convict that freedom is popular __PUNCT__

but onc again __PUNCT__ we have had a fantast show for thi caus and challeng peopl __PUNCT__

not the statu_quo that we have been put up with for decad after decad __PUNCT__ but challeng them and sai __PUNCT__ you know __PUNCT__ let challeng him __PUNCT__

let go back to thi real old __PUNCT__ fashion idea __PUNCT__ thi veri danger idea __PUNCT__

let obei the constitut __PUNCT__

and too __PUNCT__ too often __PUNCT__ those who preach limit_govern and small_govern __PUNCT__ thei forget that invas of your privaci is big_govern __PUNCT__ and we have to emphas protect your person right and your econom right ar what the govern suppos to do __PUNCT__

thei not suppos to run our live or spend our monei __PUNCT__

and also __PUNCT__ along those line __PUNCT__ what we have introduc with so much enthusiasm __PUNCT__ i hear it so often from so mani volunt __PUNCT__

the other dai somebodi came up to me and he wa refresh my memori __PUNCT__ becaus he knew i knew the statement __PUNCT__ becaus i said it __PUNCT__

back in the old dai in the earli __PUNCT__ 70 __PUNCT__ nixon said __PUNCT__ we all keynesian now __PUNCT__ which meant that even the republican __PUNCT__ thei accept liber econom __PUNCT__

he said i wait for the dai where we can sai __PUNCT__ we all austrian now __PUNCT__

but a biggest chang __PUNCT__ i think __PUNCT__ in intellectu and polit chang that we have brought about is the emphasi on a veri import matter __PUNCT__

make sure we get to the bottom of the ultim bail __PUNCT__ outer and that is our feder_reserv_system __PUNCT__

we need reform there and we need a new monetari_system and obei the constitut __PUNCT__

thi is __PUNCT__ thi is someth that we made great progress __PUNCT__

so the first and initi import_step that we work so hard is on the tabl __PUNCT__

todai there wa a nation poll that came out and thei were talk about how mani peopl_support the gold_standard __PUNCT__ how long ha it been sinc thei taken a nation poll on the gold standard __PUNCT__ and guess what __PUNCT__ the major of the american_peopl believ we should have a gold_standard and not a paper standard __PUNCT__

but also __PUNCT__ also the great stride that we have made ha been realli on the foreign_polici __PUNCT__

the fact that we can onc again talk in republican circl and make it credibl __PUNCT__ talk about what eisenhow said that bewar of the militari industri conflict __PUNCT__

talk about the old dai when robert_taft __PUNCT__ mr __PUNCT__ republican said that we shouldn't be engag in these entangl allianc __PUNCT__ he believ what the founder taught us __PUNCT__

he didn't want to be in nato __PUNCT__

we certainli don't need nato and the u.n __PUNCT__ to tell us when to go to war __PUNCT__

but we have __PUNCT__ we have seen a great differ __PUNCT__

the major of the american_peopl ar behind us on thi whole war_effort __PUNCT__

thei ar tire of the war __PUNCT__ cost too much __PUNCT__ too much monei __PUNCT__ too mani peopl get kill __PUNCT__ too mani peopl get injur __PUNCT__ too mani peopl get sick __PUNCT__

and the major __PUNCT__ mayb __NUM__ percent or __NUM__ percent of the american_peopl now ar sai it time to get out of afghanistan __PUNCT__

so those ar the issu __PUNCT__ those ar the issu that we have brought front and center __PUNCT__

thei out there __PUNCT__

thei not go to go awai __PUNCT__

and we have __PUNCT__ and we have tremend opportun to continu thi momentum __PUNCT__
