Marco Rubio: A New American Century

me America isn't just a country it's the place that literally change the history of my family it's a nation of equal opportunity it's the most powerful force

for good that the world has ever known this is the America that welcome my parents and so now I know that every chance I have ever had and

everything that I will ever accomplish nd I owe to god to my parents sacrifices and

to the United States of America dnmt

stories may never be famous but in the lives they live you will find the essence of America's greatness and

is what our politics should be about the reason why America is special and what defines us as a people and as a nation is

the idea that anyone from anywhere can accomplish anything here because we believe that every human being born

anywhere on earth has a god given not a law given right a god given right to go as far as their talents and their work I

if we don't make the right choices if we stay on this road that this administration and this Congress houses on then they will be part of the first generation of Americans to inherit from their parents a

diminished country a government that spends one trillion dollars more than it takes in an eight hundred billion dollar stimulus to create and more debt than jobs a

around the world because of the Obama Clinton foreign policy our allies no longer trust us our enemies no longer fear us this

is the road this president has placed us on a government that increasingly controls every aspect of our life from

our health care choices now even the internet and a foreign policy that treats the Ayatollah in Iran with more respect the

prime minister of Israel so what happens we diminish what happens if we diminish because we can no longer afford to be the greatest country in the world what

happens if we diminish because our leaders decide we don't want to be the greatest country in history the world what happens if we retreat what

happens is you leave a space and that's space will be filled by someone else the only nations right now they can even try to do it our

nations I don't believe in the things we believe so in this twenty first century Corwin because I do it will continue to spread across the globe well

be our ideas of freedom democracy and free enterprise or will it be their ideas of state owned enterprises the

totalitarianism the greatest thing that we can do for the world SB America this new century presents us with significant challenges but

solving them awhile within our reach and if we do our future will be even better than our history and the twenty first century will also be in

America well before us lies two very different roads one road is the road that Washington and both parties are placed it

is the road of those perhaps the first generation in our history willing to allow their children to inherit all their mistakes and all the things they went wrong and

that tragically is the road that we are on right now but there's another room it is a road that says that our children deserve to inherit the greatest society in

all of human it is a road that understand that the world is a safer and better place when America is the strongest country in the world it

this is about whether we are going to be the first generation of Americans my children were small or the next generation that will allow one to inherit what
