I believe that Americans want to come together again behind a common purpose.

America is the sum of our dreams.

And because I wouldn't be standing on this stage today if it weren't for the dreams of those who came before me.

I don't accept this future.

For far too long, politicians entrenched in Washington have listened to special interests while shutting out rural Americans.

We need to give a hand to the next generation of ranchers, so they get the skills and incentives they need to help them afford their first ranch, and we need to stop tilting the scales against family ranchers.

We will reclaim the American Dream for working families across the country.

I support a packer ban and strict enforcement of antimonopoly laws, because when meatpackers own livestock, they can drive down prices and manipulate markets.

We need to seize opportunities in rural America to secure our energy future and save our planet.

If you can't bring people together across the old fault lines, you simply aren't going to be able to make progress on the challenges we face.

I've always believed that you can only bring about real change when people come together across party lines.

I will raise our fuel standards, and put a cap on carbon emissions to reduce then 80% by 2050.
