time, reach across the out to our friends in the democratic party and say if you have a good idea, i'm willing to work with you because that is what our country needs. as governor, i never wavered from telling you the truth is i see it. and acting to make sure that you know that it is the truth is i believe it in my heart. you know, as a candidate for president, i want to promise you just a few things. first, a campaign without spin or pandering or focus group tested answers. you will get what i think whether you like it or not or whether it makes you cringe every once in a while or not. the campaign when i am asked that question, i am going to give the answer to the question that is asked, not the answer that my vertical consultants told me to give backstage.

a campaign that every day will not worry about what is popular but what is right because what is right is what will fix america. not what is popular. a campaign that believes. that believes in an america that is as great as the hopes and dreams that we want everyone of our children to have. not a campaign that tears down but a campaign that rebuilds america to the place where you and i grew up and where we want our children to grow up again and where we want free people around the world to grow up in in their countries as well. that is what america has stood for and that is what this campaign will stand for. [applause]

all the signs say telling it like it is but there is a reason for that. we're going to tell it like it is today so that we can create greater opportunity for every american tomorrow. the truth will set us free everybody. all 52 years i have spent an hour stay with our people have prepared me for this moment. we have no idea where this journey ends but we know that it is only in this country, only in america where someone like me could have the opportunity to seek the highest office the world has to offer. only in america could all of you believe that your voices and your efforts can make a

difference to change a country as big and vast and powerful as this one. only in america have we seen time after time after time the truth of the words that one person can make a difference. the reason that is true is because it is the only thing that has ever made a difference in the history of the world. one person reaching out to another to change their circumstance and to improve the lot of their children and grandchildren. i do not seek the presidency for any other reason than because i believe in my heart that i am ready to work with you, to restore america to its rightful

place in the world and to restore the american dream to each one of our children whether they live in livingston or newark, or canned him, patterson, or jersey city. no matter where they live, we need to make sure that everyone of those children believes they have a president who not only's asked to them but who hears them. and understands that their voices is what makes any american president great. if you give it a privilege to be your resident, i will wake up every day not only with my heart strong and my mind sharp, but with my ears open and my arms open. to welcome the american people the matter what party, no matter what race or creed or color to make sure that you know that this is your country.

we are going to win this election and i love each and every one of you. thank you very much. ♪ [captions copyright national cable satellite corp. 2014] [captioning performed by the national captioning institute, which is responsible for its caption content and accuracy. visit ncicap.org] ♪ >> yesterday, jim webb became the latest candidate to and are the 2016 presidential race. the 19th overall and fifth democrat. he announced his decision on his website after forming an exploratory committee last november and visiting early voting states such as iowa. the former center has yet to announce any type of campaign
