“I am so grateful that my colleague and dear friend, Representative Higgins, joined this important conversation. It is clear, Mr. Speaker, my friend was not prepared or scripted formally, but he carries this great American story and the love and passion for public service and for a better, stronger, safer, freer America in his heart. If you cut this man, he bleeds red, white, and blue, and I feel blessed to serve alongside of him. Mr. Speaker, I thank him for his remarks. Mr. Speaker, as we talk about those values that have made America great and as we look out on the near horizon, we see a tremendous contrast and a distinct, maybe as definitive and distinct as we have ever had before the electorate of the vision, plans, and policies of one party versus another: One with vast greater authority and power in the government; one that would continue to treasure, defend, and promote free people in a free country. One would want to plan the economy from Washington, D.C.; the other vision and plan and policies would trust the ingenuity and the God- given gifts of the American people to create value for their fellow Americans and the free exchange of ideas of services and products, the free enterprise system, which has made this country the most prosperous country on the face of the planet and in the history of the world. {time} 1830 Yes, Mr. Speaker, it is freedom.…”
