and todai hundr of thousand of illinoi voter have join million across the countri in our caus __PUNCT__

we began thi movement on a small_farm in new hampshir on a sunni __DATE___dai __PUNCT__ surround by a small_group of friend __PUNCT__ famili __PUNCT__ and support __PUNCT__

we share a convict that the america we love wa in troubl and adrift without strong leadership __PUNCT__

three year of barack_obama had brought us fewer job and shrink paycheck __PUNCT__ but mani of us believ we were in danger of lose someth more than the valu of home and __NUM__ __PUNCT__ k __PUNCT__ s __PUNCT__

after the year of too mani apolog and not enough job __PUNCT__ histor drop in incom and histor high in ga_price __PUNCT__ of a presid who doesn't hesit to us all mean necessari to forc obamacar on the american_public but lead from behind in world_affair __PUNCT__ it time to sai __PUNCT__ enough __PUNCT__

we know our futur is better and brighter than these troubl time __PUNCT__

we still believ in america __PUNCT__ and we deserv a presid who believ in us __PUNCT__

yesterdai i gave a speech at the univers of chicago __PUNCT__ not far from here and where professor barack_obama taught constitut_law __PUNCT__

it wa a speech on econom_freedom and as i wa write it __PUNCT__ i thought back to the lifetim of experi i had learn the uniqu geniu of the american free_enterpris enterpris_system __PUNCT__

it start when i wa just a kid __PUNCT__ and my dad __PUNCT__ who never graduat from colleg __PUNCT__ would tell me about hi dad __PUNCT__ who wa a contractor and never quit made it but never gave up __PUNCT__

later i help start compani that began just as an idea and somehow made it through all the inevit difficulti to creat thousand of job __PUNCT__

those job help famili bui their first home __PUNCT__ put kid through school __PUNCT__ live better live __PUNCT__ dream a littl bigger __PUNCT__

for __NUM___year __PUNCT__ i live and breath job __PUNCT__ busi __PUNCT__ and the economi __PUNCT__

i had success and failur but each step of the wai __PUNCT__ i learn a littl more about what it is that make our american_system so power __PUNCT__

you can't learn that teach constitut_law __PUNCT__

you can't learn that as a commun_organ __PUNCT__

the simpl_truth is that thi presid just doesn't understand the geniu of america_economi __PUNCT__ or the secret of our success __PUNCT__

the american_economi is fuel by freedom __PUNCT__

econom_freedom is the onli forc that ha consist succeed in lift peopl out of poverti __PUNCT__

it is the onli principl that ha ever creat sustain prosper __PUNCT__

but __PUNCT__ over the last three year __PUNCT__ thi administr ha been engag in an assault on our freedom __PUNCT__

under presid_obama __PUNCT__ bureaucrat prevent drill rig from go to work in the gulf __PUNCT__

thei keep coal from be mine __PUNCT__

thei imped the reliabl suppli of natur_ga __PUNCT__

thei even tell farmer what their __NUM__ __PUNCT__ year __PUNCT__ old son and daughter can and can't do on the famili_farm __PUNCT__

the administr assault on freedom ha kept thi so __PUNCT__ call recoveri from meet their project __PUNCT__ let alon our expect __PUNCT__

and now __PUNCT__ the presid is try to eras hi record with rhetor __PUNCT__

just the other dai __PUNCT__ he said __PUNCT__ we ar inventor __PUNCT__

we ar builder __PUNCT__

we ar maker of thing __PUNCT__

we ar thoma edison __PUNCT__

we ar the wright brother __PUNCT__

we ar bill_gate __PUNCT__

we ar steve_job __PUNCT__

that true __PUNCT__

but the problem is __PUNCT__ he still barack_obama __PUNCT__

and under thi presid __PUNCT__ those pioneer would have face an uphil battl to innov __PUNCT__ invent __PUNCT__ and creat __PUNCT__

under dodd __PUNCT__ frank __PUNCT__ thei would have struggl to get a loan from their commun_bank __PUNCT__

a regul would have shut down the wright brother for their __PUNCT__ dust pollut __PUNCT__

and the govern would have ban thoma edison light_bulb __PUNCT__

oh __PUNCT__ that right __PUNCT__

thei just did __PUNCT__

the real cost of these misguid polici ar the idea that ar never pursu and the dream that ar never realiz __PUNCT__

for centuri __PUNCT__ the american_dream ha meant the opportun to build someth new __PUNCT__

some of america_greatest success_stori ar peopl who start out with noth but a good_idea and a corner in their garag __PUNCT__

but todai __PUNCT__ american who want to start a new busi or launch a new ventur don't see promis and opportun __PUNCT__

thei see govern stand in their wai __PUNCT__

we onc built the interst highwai_system and the hoover dam __PUNCT__

todai __PUNCT__ we can't even build a pipelin __PUNCT__

we onc led the world in manufactur __PUNCT__ export __PUNCT__ and infrastructur invest __PUNCT__

todai __PUNCT__ we lead the world in lawsuit __PUNCT__

when we replac a law_professor with a businessman __PUNCT__ that will end __PUNCT__

everi great innov __PUNCT__ everi world __PUNCT__ chang busi breakthrough begin with a dream __PUNCT__

and noth is more fragil than a dream __PUNCT__

the geniu of america is that we nurtur these dream and the dreamer __PUNCT__

we honor them __PUNCT__ and __PUNCT__ ye __PUNCT__ we reward them __PUNCT__

that part of what is uniqu brilliant about america __PUNCT__

but dai by dai __PUNCT__ job __PUNCT__ kill regul by job __PUNCT__ kill regul __PUNCT__ bureaucrat by bureaucrat __PUNCT__ thi presid is crush the dream and the dreamer __PUNCT__

the proof is in thi weak recoveri __PUNCT__

thi administr think our economi is struggl becaus the stimulu wa too small __PUNCT__

the truth is our economi is struggl becaus the govern is too big __PUNCT__

you and i know what presid_obama still ha not learn __PUNCT__ even after three year and hundr of billion of dollar in spend __PUNCT__ the govern doe not creat prosper __PUNCT__ prosper is the product of free_market and free_peopl __PUNCT__

thi __DATE__ __PUNCT__ we face a defin decis __PUNCT__

our choic will not be on of parti or person __PUNCT__

thi elect will be about principl __PUNCT__

our econom_freedom will be on the ballot __PUNCT__

i am offer a real choic and a new begin __PUNCT__

i am run for presid becaus i have the experi and the vision to get us out of thi mess __PUNCT__

we know what barack_obama vision of america is __PUNCT__ we all live it the last three year __PUNCT__

mine is veri differ __PUNCT__

i see an america where we know the prospect for our children will be better than our own __PUNCT__ where the pursuit of success unit us __PUNCT__ not divid us __PUNCT__ when a govern final understand that it better for more to pai less in tax than for a few to pai more __PUNCT__ where the valu we pass on to our children ar greater than the debt we leav them __PUNCT__ where poverti is defeat by opportun __PUNCT__ not enabl a govern check __PUNCT__

i see an america that is humbl but never humbl __PUNCT__ that lead but is never led __PUNCT__

todai we took an import_step toward that america __PUNCT__

tomorrow __PUNCT__ we take anoth __PUNCT__

each dai we move_closer not just to victori but to a better america __PUNCT__

join us __PUNCT__

togeth __PUNCT__ we will ensur that america_greatest dai ar still ahead __PUNCT__

thank you and god_bless_america __PUNCT__
