I live on the same block where I grew up. We belong to the same parish where I was baptized. Janesville is that kind of place.
Class is not a fixed designation in this country. We are an upwardly mobile society with a lot of movement between income groups.
I really don't have tremendous political ambition. I have policy ambition.
After four years of getting the run-around, America needs a turnaround, and the man for the job is Governor Mitt Romney.
We are looking for bipartisan solutions not partisan rhetoric.
Free enterprise empowers entrepreneurs who have ideas and imagination, investors who take risks, and workers who hone their skills and offer their labor.
