Running for president was one of the greatest honors of my life.
I ran because I believe the times we live in are so threatening to our economic survival, that 2012 is our last chance to change course if we want to remain as the world's leading economic and military superpower. I did not run for president for my own personal benefit, or to climb the political ladder; I ran because someone needed to stand up for our beliefs and voice our sentiments.
In deciding to run, I believed someone needed to talk about our shared values and conservative ideals; to stand up for our voice and belief in the America we grew up in and love; and to fight for our children and grandchildren’s future. We ran an honest campaign and I will always be proud of the work we did and the history we made. Together, with your support, our campaign changed the focus of this presidential election.
We talked about the important issues at hand in 2012 - the nearly insurmountable debt, the absolute need to repeal Obamacare, and the necessity of eliminating Dodd-Frank. Frankly, my friends, had I not been a part of those debates, we might not have our voice heard loud and strong on those issues!
As my campaign traveled around the country, I saw the very best in America and our people. From diners, to community centers, to small businesses, I witnessed first-hand that our nation’s best days can still be ahead of us, and the work we did over the past 6 months can help us turn this nation around.
The conservative tide continues to flow across the country, and our campaign was just the beginning. I came out of the election with a renewed pride for our country knowing America and Americans are on the right track to restore our nation. I am proud as never before in the indomitable fighting spirit of the people I met every day on the campaign trail.
I will not stop fighting for our conservative causes. I ran because I believed our issues needed to be talked about and I am glad that the issues we brought to the debate have been at the center of the discussion. And, I’m not done… With your help and support, I am announcing I will seek re-election to Congress in Minnesota. I am more determined than ever that President Obama be defeated and that we overturn the devastating legislation that has been forced upon the American people.
