Despite Governor Daniels’ still persistent insistence, I want to encourage Indiana voters, as well as the state and national Republican Party, to press their chief executive to be run for President.
His efficacy, integrity, and clarity as chief executive of Indiana all testify to his capacity to lead the entire country.
His privatization of Indiana roads saved money while saving drivers on the road. He signed into law the largest school voucher program in the country, while has provided relief for families looking for a good school, Private schools now enjoy more importunity to grow, and now public schools must compete and complement their standards and staff, or risk closure.
He is a true statesman, one who credits individual, not the state, with the power to create wealth. Signing "right to work" while advocating for a limitation on public sector collective bargaining rights, Daniels has maintained his focus to protect workers and promote new commercial invest in Indiana.
Governor Daniels can speak “free-market” Austrian economic, which sadly is still Greek to many people. Unlike the more conservative Republican Presidential candidates, Daniels has designed and produced real-world solutions for unpopular economic reforms while calling for a well-deserved “truce” on social issues. Unlike former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, Governor Daniels does not have a record contrary to his core conservative principles.
His take on public funds is just fine with me: “It's tainted money. 'Taint yours, and 'taint mine."
Ain’t it a shame that Governor Daniels ain’t running!
