but america doesn't seem to be work for them __PUNCT__

i can sens the insecur out there __PUNCT__

and it not just about keep our homeland safe __PUNCT__

it about keep safe our faith that if we work_hard __PUNCT__ we can build a better tomorrow for our children and for our nation __PUNCT__

the fact is that the presid ha not kept the faith __PUNCT__

and the congress ha fail to lead __PUNCT__

it why i proud to offer the most detail job plan of ani candid for presid __PUNCT__

and i proud to be the onli democrat in thi race with a record of creat_job and turn an economi around __PUNCT__

i know that we can do the same_thing across the countri __PUNCT__

i know becaus in iowa i see peopl who haven't given up on the american_dream __PUNCT__

despit the failur in washington __PUNCT__ i see peopl more commit than ever to give their kid a better life than thei had __PUNCT__

i know that we can do better becaus i am hope about america __PUNCT__

in the past hundr_year __PUNCT__ we have overcom a great_depress __PUNCT__

we land a man on the moon __PUNCT__

we have beaten back fascism and commun and totalitarian around the globe __PUNCT__

restor the strength of our economi is go to requir fiscal_respons __PUNCT__

as a governor __PUNCT__ i have to balanc my state_budget __PUNCT__

i have balanc five budget __PUNCT__ and i have done it while cut_tax and invest in our peopl and our infrastructur __PUNCT__

balanc the budget is invest in the futur __PUNCT__

and that why i support a constitut_amend to balanc the budget __PUNCT__

and a line __PUNCT__ item_veto __PUNCT__

we allow republican to spend recklessli for too long __PUNCT__

our children should have the right to be free from the extraordinari debt run up by their parent __PUNCT__

the govern must honor the privat_sector and american entrepreneurship __PUNCT__ while work with investor and partner with those take risk to revit the economi __PUNCT__

thi is how it ha alwai been __PUNCT__

the govern start the internet __PUNCT__ and the privat sector improv and expand it into on of the cornerston of our economi __PUNCT__

in a __NUM___centuri economi __PUNCT__ govern must act as a catalyst and a partner to help unleash the innov and the job_creation potenti of the privat_sector __PUNCT__

i will restor and increas fund for feder_research and develop program __PUNCT__

i will creat a feder angel investor tax_credit to encourag invest in high __PUNCT__ tech startup __PUNCT__

and i will make perman and doubl the research and experiment tax credit __PUNCT__

we must provid incent for invest in cut edg research and manufactur __PUNCT__

while we build for the futur and repair the damag of the past __PUNCT__ we must also invest in our peopl now __PUNCT__

we need to move aggress to creat high __PUNCT__ qualiti job and expand econom_opportun __PUNCT__

the american_dream ha alwai been big __PUNCT__ big enough for all of us __PUNCT__

but for too mani these dai __PUNCT__ the dream is shrink and shut them out __PUNCT__

that is unaccept __PUNCT__

everi american deserv the opportun to succe __PUNCT__

we need to get back to big dream and bold idea __PUNCT__

in addit to creat new qualiti job __PUNCT__ we need to preserv the on we alreadi have __PUNCT__

we should restor america focu on protect our labor_forc __PUNCT__

we must move beyond the debat over __PUNCT__ free_trade __PUNCT__ versu __PUNCT__ protection __PUNCT__

instead we have to roll up our sleev and pursu better trade_agreement __PUNCT__ agreement that enhanc rather than erod u. __PUNCT__ job __PUNCT__

agreement that ar social just __PUNCT__ environment respons and polit sustain __PUNCT__

to protect our worker and keep america_secur __PUNCT__ i will do what the congress and the presid have not done __PUNCT__ pass comprehens_immigr immigr_reform __PUNCT__

washington ha also fail to help famili with the rise_cost of live __PUNCT__

expens for health_care __PUNCT__ child_care __PUNCT__ and a colleg_educ ar rise faster than wage __PUNCT__

our next presid must focu on make these more afford __PUNCT__

our nation strength is our peopl __PUNCT__ and we must do whatev it take to protect that resourc __PUNCT__

look at the record __PUNCT__

i brought unemploy to histor low in new mexico __PUNCT__

none of my democrat_oppon ha turn around an economi __PUNCT__

and if you look at the republican_governor on the other side __PUNCT__ thei haven't done it either __PUNCT__

i look forward to put my record up against mike_huckabe or mitt_romnei __PUNCT__

we need to put a candid up against the republican who know how to creat_job __PUNCT__

and more importantli __PUNCT__ the next presid better know how to __PUNCT__

and i can tell you from experi __PUNCT__ bicker doesn't creat job __PUNCT__

speech don't creat job __PUNCT__

it time for a presid focus again on work_american __PUNCT__

i sick of the republican paint democrat as fiscal irrespons __PUNCT__

we creat the new deal __PUNCT__

thei creat the raw deal __PUNCT__

we creat the great_societi __PUNCT__ thei creat the great_depress __PUNCT__

we creat the boom of the __NUM__ __PUNCT__

in the past seven year __PUNCT__ the republican brought us the worst record of job_creation sinc herbert_hoover __PUNCT__

it time for a new vision __PUNCT__

thi vision is not a republican dream __PUNCT__

it not a democrat dream __PUNCT__
