January Day 3 Campaign Rally 1 Miami, FL (also had a fundraiser here) Topic: Health Care Target:D/I
Florida has a growing senior population because of the great climate and living conditions in this great state. However, many can't afford health care. Many have to choose between their presecription drugs and their light bill.
They are not alone. Over 47 million Americans have no health insurance whatsoever, including 33% of Hispanics, 21% of African-Americans and Asians, and 11% of Whites. Many more - perhaps most of us - are underinsured. The world’s richest health care system is unable to assure such basics as prenatal care and immunizations, and we trail most of the developed world on such indicators as infant mortality and life expectancy. Even the well-insured may find care compromised when HMOs deny them expensive medications and therapies. For patients, fear of financial ruin often amplifies the misfortune of illness.
This is why, as President of the United States, I will push forward my plan, American Healthcare Choices. My plan would make health care affordable, unlike the current health system where insurance premiums send people into bankruptcy, the plan provides tax credits for working families to help them cover their costs. The tax credits will ensure that working families never have to pay more than a limited percentage of their income for health care. It provides you with choices. If you have a plan you like, you keep it. If you want to change plans or aren't currently covered, you can choose from dozens of the same plans available to members of Congress, or you can opt into a public plan option like Medicare.
This plan is good for small businesses. Small businesses are the engine of new job growth in the U.S. economy but face bigger challenges when it comes to providing health care for their employees. My plan would give tax credits to small businesses that provide health care to their workers to help defray their coverage costs. This will make small businesses more competitive and help create good jobs with health benefits that will stay here in the U.S.
Together we can build a health care program that benefits all Americans! Together we can build a more productive work force! Together we can build a New American Century!
January Day 3 Campaign Rally 2 Tampa Bay, FL Topic: Leadership Target: D/I/R
We cannot lead the world when we don't have leadership at home. We need leadership to ensure every American has affordable and quality healthcare through the America Choices program. We need, ladies and gentlemen, leadership to do what we all know must be done in order to give every child a world-class education, and the opportunity to achieve even greater heights at university and college. We must show the leadership to return the nation to our heyday of prosperity and strength through balanced budgets and a 10% tax break for the middle class.
We need that leadership at home if we are to be a strong country, and a proud country; ladies and gentlemen, we need that good guidance and governance now more than ever. I'm running for President because I envision a New American Century. I envision a time of leadership, strength, and prosperity, and I know that time is now. Please join me and together let's build that New American Century!
January Day 3 Campaign Rally 3 Jacksonville, FL Topic: Middle Class Target: D/I
The Bush Administration talks about how it's cutting taxes for all Americans. But the fact of the matter is that President Bush has returned to us the era of voodoo economics. Two thirds of the Bush Administration's tax cuts have gone to the top 10% of America's wealthy. We've seen the harm that this irresponsible shift in the tax burden onto the middle class has had. We've seen inflation consistently outpacing growth. We've seen negative, or neutral, economic expansion. Our economy has been stagnant -- it's time for a change, it's time for middle class tax relief!
We've seen what happens when the middle class are relieved of the tax burden. We saw it from 1992 to 2000, when the United States experienced the longest sustained economic growth in its history. We had more new jobs than ever before, we had lower inflation and interest rates, and we had greater economic growth. It's time to return America back to that golden age, and it starts with a 10% tax break for middle class Americans!
Together we can build a strong middle class! Together we can make the tax system a fair system! Together we can build a New American Century!
January Day 3 Campaign Rally 4 Orlando, FL Topic: Homeland Security Target: D/I/R
America's been through trying times in recent years. We've faced terrorist attacks on our soil and we've faced a war abroad. We saw what happens when we do too little to prevent terrorists from striking America. We saw it in New York. We know they are not going to go away. We saw it in London, our closest ally, when terrorists managed to set bombs in the subway. For the past four years, we haven't done nearly enough -- not nearly enough -- to secure the homeland.
For years, the unimplemented recommendations of the 9/11 Commission sat on President Bush's desk. He won't implement them. We still have ports that are unsecure, we still have borders that are unsecure and we still have rail services that are unsecure. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to elect a President who will secure America! It's time to elect a President who will implement those recommendations!
Together we can build a secure America! Together we can buile a New American Century!
January Day 3 Campaign Rally 5 Tallahassee, FL Topic: Getting Results Target: D/I/R
If we can fianlly rise above the partisan bickering we have seen in Washington the past four years, maybe we can finally get something done for the people here in America. The biggest problem with the Bush Presidency has been this 'my way or the highway' attitude on all of his policies. Our plans for this nation aren't set in stone. There are certain principles that we intend to protect, but we are open to compromise on issues that face America today as long as the focus of the compromise is the betterment of the American people. The difference however between our campaign and the current White House is clear. They have not shown that they have a plan to bring America into the future, to strengthen our economy and secure our homeland. I have a plan.
Our plan isn't a Democratic plan, Independent plan or a Republican plan. It is an American plan. I truly believe that when we work together, there is nothing that this nation can't accomplish. I believe that if our politicians would get together and focus on what is important to the American people instead of what's important to the party, then we can move America forward. That's what a Lillidge administration will be about: results, not photo ops.
Together we can build a strong America! Together we can build a results based America! Together we can build a New American Century!
January Day 3 Campaign Rally 6 Columbia, SC (Also campaigned here on December Day 2) Topic: Gun Control Target: Republicans
Why is it that when we hear our national leaders talk about national security, it is usually to talk about ways to ignore or dismantle the Constitution? Why is it that so many of our national leaders fail to see that it is from that sacred document that we define who we are as a people and that without it, we cease to be the nation that so many have bled and died for?
Without the Constitution, no American is secure. You cannot make us safer by making us less free. You cannot protect the nation by destroying its very foundation. In a Lillidge Administration, the Second Amendment will be secure. I believe in very limited gun control. We should not allow citizens with mental illness access to guns, we should not allow citizens with a violent criminal history access to guns, and assault weapons should be illegal except for thos with a collector's license. I believe in the Constitution and I will uphold your right to bear arms.
I want to be President because I have seen far too many Washington politicians betray their duty to protect and defend the Constitution and I, for one, refuse to sit on the sidelines. As your President, I will uphold my duty to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
Together we can build a secure American! Together we can secure our liberties! Together we can build a New American Century!
January Day 3 Campaign Rally 7 Charleston, SC (Also visited December Day 2) Topic: American Spirit Target: D/I/R
I believe in the power of everyday heroes.
The folks that wakeup early every morning and wear their blue collars to a thankless job for very little pay are my heroes.
The folks that put on badges, brandish guns, and patrol our streets are my heroes.
I believe in the power of hard work and sacrifice to lift any American out of poverty to achieve whatever dream they have for themselves.
I believe that our Creator blessed us with the power to remake this world and I believe that that power is a gift that must be used responsibly.
These are the things I believe in. These are the things that give me hope that America's brightest days are ahead of it, but we must have a leader willing to embrace that vision and hope for tomorrow. That is why I want to be your President.
Together we can build an America of hope! Together we can build an America with fighting spirit! Together we can build a New American Century!
January Day 3 Campaign Rally 8 Rock Hill, SC Topic: Fair Trade Target: D/I/R
One of the largest reasons that American jobs are being exported left, right, and center is because we haven’t been thinking about American workers when we sign trade deals – we’ve been putting profits ahead of people, and that’s not responsible government. I've said again and again that what America needs is fair trade. Fair trade means signing trade agreements that work for America. It means that when our trade negotiators sit down to hammer out a treaty, they have one thing in mind: our national interest. When we sign trade deals, I don't want to bring ideology into the picture -- we should be thinking about things like jobs, and wages right here at home. What will be best for the American people, and American workers -- that's my trade policy. That's fair trade.
But fair trade alone won’t solve our outsourcing problem. We also need aggressive re-training programs for workers displaced by trade. I will put forth legislation that provides local governments the resources needed to guarantee that Americans whose jobs have been outsourced can go back to school to get training that will lead to new and better jobs. South Carolina knows better than anyone that what we need more than anything right now is decent jobs for hard-working Americans.
Together we can build a strong American economy! Together we can create a fair trade policy that protects the American worker! Together we can build a New American Century!
January Day 3 Campaign Rally 9 Greenville, SC Topic: Crime Target: D/I/R
America needs a leader that will tackle crime head on. This Republican Administration has put the home-front on the back burner for too long. Crime is increasing, jobs are decreasing and Americans are concerned.
My strategy not only will fight crime, but the roots and causes of crime as well. My crime strategy won't just put people behind bars, it will provide rehabilitation for the addicted, opportunity for the poor and end the alienation of our youth. We can take real steps and measures to fight crime with a strategy that works. We look at the plan in Washington and we see no measures being taken on crime - the status-quo is not the answer, real action for our citizens is the answer. I will act for all citizens and stand tall to fight crime. We need to increase neighborhood patrols, we need to rehabilitate drug users do that the prison door doesn't become a revolving door, we need to build more prisons to guarantee that the criminal will do their time.
Many American cities have strong solutions to their crime problem- let's work with work with our regional and civic governments to implement the strategies that work for your communities. We can accomplish things together and America will be stronger. Under my leadership we will achieve a dream of cracking down on crime to protect your safety.
Together we can build a safer America. Together we can build a more compassionate America. Together we can build the New American Century!
January Day 3 Campaign Rally 10 Spartanburg, SC Topic: Small Business Owners Target: D/I/R
You can't have a dynamic, expanding economy with full employment unless you help out small business and give a hand-up to entrepreneurs. Small business employs over half of all workers in the service sector, and entrepreneurs who start small business help drive our economy and keep it competitive. We can never forget that, and I haven't.
I will fight for legislation to give entrepreneurs the hand-up they need to grow their business. We need to expand microloans for small business in our cities, help entrepreneurs and bootstrappers work through red tape, rather than struggling against it, and ensure that growth translates into jobs for the community. Washington's neglected the American economy. We've neglected small businesses, and we've neglected entrepreneurs. I say no more! It's high time we started fixing our economy, and that starts by invigorating small business growth to create jobs -- we can't do it with the same tired policies of yesterday. Full employment, a hand up for entrepreneurs, and small business growth -- I'm the candidate to take us there, and I'm the candidate to put the economy back on track!
Together we can build a strong tomorrow! Together we can put people back to work! Together we can build the New American Century!

Senator Zalla Campaigns for Senator Lillidge in South Carolina Charleston - Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to thank y'all for having me here in the great state of South Carolina, a state that's remained loyal to the Democratic Party for a great deal of time. Now, I want to start off today by telling y'all that this upcoming primary vote is going to be an important one and y'all need to sit down and think hard for who you feel is best. Senator Lillidge is a man that can relate to the Southern Democrats and a man that has been endorsed by the Senate's two key Southern Democrats, myself and Senator Boyd from Texas. Y'all are really worried about economic factors, and you should be. The current Administration has let far too many jobs go overseas when the good people of South Carolina deserve them. The current Administration has also made the world unsafe for America as the situation overseas creates more tensions instead of solving matters. Senator Lillidge has a plan to curb economic decline, ease up the war in Iraq, and maintain a status quo that reminds us all of what it means to live here in these United States. South Carolina needs to remember that they can trust Senator Lillidge and myself when we say that the Lillidge Campaign has what it takes to make the United States better economically, politically, and socially. Now, I've been a hardcore Blue Dog Democrat my whole life and I am loyal to the Democratic Party. Recently, certain members of the Party seemed to have questioned that I can promise y'all that my endorsement of Senator Lillidge is a good sign that promises a rebirth of the southern Democratic wing of the Party, the traditional and powerful wing of the Party that brought men like John F. Kennedy, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and William J. Clinton into office. This wing of the Democratic Party is the best wing because its hear in the south and, as all your South Carolinans know, the south is one of the best parts of these here United States. If you want to keep Washington insiders in power, then vote for Senator Lillidge's opponents. But, if your sick of the kind of action coming out the current Congress, as I am, and if your tired of the current Administration, then I suggest that pick Senator Lillidge as your man. Thank-y'all. God bless ya.

Senator Zalla at Senator Lillidge Rally in Florida "Ladies and Gentlemen, I don't know about you, but I'm pretty much fed up with the current state of things in the White House, how about you?" *crowd starts clapping* "Let's get rid of this problem the best way we know how. Lets march up to the Democratic National Convention and tell them that in order to fix the problems in the White House we need to have Florida's votes counted!" *crowd cheers* "The Florida Democratic Party made the mistake, why should the voters suffer? In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the State of Florida is key to our party and I know a candidate who agrees with what you want, Florida holding its primary this year!" *crowd cheers* "Senator Lillidge's Campaign has fought hard to have Michigan and Florida come forward with the primaries. Senator Lillidge and myself both agree that the bickering in the DNC over this is pointless, the states of Michigan and Florida deserve their primaries and, I will fight to see to it that y'all get your voice in this upcoming election, even if it takes me against the DNC altogether!" *crowd cheers and claps* "Senator Lillidge has a healthcare program that will aid those senior citizens that our suffering under the current Administration's lack of care towards them; no other Democrat has such as successful plan. If your tired of being ignored by Washington, then support Senator Lillidge's plan, he doesn't tell you one thing and then ignore you, he's a man dedicated to the people." *crowd claps* "Senator Lillidge served with honors in the military and is a brave man. Unlike the other candidates in this election, Senator Lillidge brings the kind of experience needed in order to bring the Iraq conflict to a peaceful conclussion and to move forward towards a new era of American stability." *crowd claps* "Now, lets sit back and look at the situation as it is now. I've been in Congress for a little while now and every time I and Senator Lillidge have tried to bring forth ideas that can change and develop America they've been ignored by insider politicians who are more concerned with their own interests and not the interests of the people. All I have to say is this: NO MORE!" *crowd cheers* "Senator Lillidge and myself have worked with Democrats and Republicans to try and improve the current situation in Washington and we hope to bring about a change that will make later generations look back and note this era's prosperity and stability. For too long other politicians have promised this and simply ignored it once they've become too involved in Washington. All I have to say is this: NO MORE!" *crowd cheers* "Now, lets go to the Democratic National Convention and tell them that Florida's voting. Then lets go to the White House and show the World that Senator Lillidge's plans are the best Washington has to offer. And, then and only then, all we'll have to say is, FOUR MORE YEARS!" *crowd cheers* "Thank-ya. God bless y'all!" *crowd cheers*

Senator Zalla Campaigns for Senator Lillidge in Georgia "Well, how are y'all doing here in Georgia this evening?" *crowd cheers* "As I'm sure you may have noticed gas prices have just gone up across the country. Now, let me just ask ya, isn't that the down-right most stupid thing you've ever heard?" *crowd cheers* "Senator Lillidge, at rally earlier in the year, noted that, if elected, he would propose tax cuts that would be unlike the current Administration's tax cuts. The current Administration is giving the oil companies breaks and engaging in some of the most corrupt deals ever seen. Now, are we going to let this happen? Heck, no!" *crowd cheers, chants: "Lillidge, Lillidge, Lillidge"* "Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about! America needs the kind of reform that Senator Lillidge is offering! Why are wasting our time with these other Washington insiders when we could be looking forward to a new era, with a President that actually cares about the United States and not just here corporate elite!" *crowd cheers* "Senator Lillidge supports a tax cut that will allow small business owners a chance to compete with those big wigs that are runnin' the show in their fancy cars. Senator Lillidge knows who runs America, and its not those guys in the fancy cars. America is run by the very people in front of me here today and it was made by the People! For the People! And Of the People!" *crowd cheers, chants: "Lillidge, Lillidge, Lillidge"* "No where in there did you hear anything about business elites or nice suits. The only thing that our country has to show for the current Administration's dealings is broken promises, distrust among Americans, and a lack of faith in the Government. Senator Lillidge can change that! Senator Lillidge has made overtures to Democrats and Republicans, Senator Lillidge has worked with the people of the United States, and Senator Lillidge has what it takes to restore hope in Our Government!" *crowd cheers* "Lets not forget that at one time the United States was one of the nicest places in the world to live and work. Bad things have happened that have weakened this once mighty nation and now its up to us to tell Washington that we want no more!" *crowd cheers* "Senator Lillidge will go to Washington, he'll march right up to that White House and he'll make America strong for the Americans who live and prosper here today. Businesses will recieve help from the Government, companies that send jobs overseas won't get the benefits they have now, and we'll be one of the safest places in the world!" *crowd cheers* "Ladies and Gentlemen, this election season, be sure your voting for the right candidate. Senator Lillidge is the man for the job and he has what it takes to fix the problems in Washington, not make them worse than they already are!" "Thank-ya. God Bless y'all!" *crowd cheers and claps*
