The more money you take away from families is the less power that family has. And that's a basic power.
I don't advocate civil disobedience. I do advocate the role of an informed citizen to try to overturn when a court makes a mistake and gets an issue wrong.
I watch the Food Network with my kids. We - yeah, I - I - I generally don't admit that, but I love cooking.
NASCAR and the Daytona 500 are about as American as you can get.

As the Wall Street Journal called our economic plan, supply-side economics for the working man, is resonating in Minnesota and here in Missouri and across this country.
