the people we elect at the school district are now the people in charge. to me, that is a prime example of where you take power away from big government special interests, driven by those here in washington, and put it in the hands of hard-working taxpayers. in the case of schools, people they elect at the local level who can hold your schools accountable. hold them accountable to be more effective, efficient, more responsive to the needs of the working taxpayer. the other story is about a woman named elizabeth. hold them accountable to be more about this time about three or four years ago, we were looking at making a change in wisconsin. most states across the country, even today, most states do not require recipients for things like food stamps to be signed up for employability scans. so i talked to people across the state, deciding to make that a priority. we decided there were jobs available, even more in the last verse. and we would provide assistance for adults without children. we wanted to make sure that even though there was an expectation that we would

the world looks to us to lead. because of extraordinary people like the ones standing behind me and many who are in the audience we have risen to the challenge. now, remember, there was no small amount of skepticism about our chances. people were understandably afraid, and if we're honest some stoked those fears. but we believe that if we made policy based not on fear, but on sound science and good judgment, america could lead an effective global response while keeping the american people safe. and we could turn the tide of the epidemic. we believe this because of people like rear admiral gyverson. we believe this because of outstanding leaders like tom frieden at cdc. we believed it because of the men and women behind me and many others here at home and who are still overseas who responded to challenges like this one not only with skill and professionalism, but with courage and with dedication. and because of your extraordinary work we have made enormous progress in just a few months. so the main reason we're actually here today is for me to say thank you. thank you to the troops and public health workers who left

for the last four years graduations rates have been up the people we elect at the local level are now the people in charge. to me that's a prime example of where you take the power away from the big government special interest in this case those driven be many here in washington and you put it in the hand of the hard-working taxpayers and the people they elect at the local level. you can actually hold them accountable to be more efficient and responsive to the needs and expectations of the hard working taxpayer. the other story is about a woman named elizabeth. about this time about three or four years ago, we were looking at making a change in wisconsin. most across the country, even today do not require recipients for things like food stamps to be signed up for employability. i decided looking at this and talking with poem across the state we wanted to make that a priority. we believed there were jobs available and even more over the last few years and if we were going to provide assistance, particularly to adults without children, even though we will help you when times are tough, our expectation is this safe

people i should be. the volunteers now this is a critical time in our nation's history. neither political party has effectively address the issues that concern the american people. they have asked merun the campaign on the issues and assure the problems the american people are concerned with will be dealt with after this election is over. i know i heard many of the volunteers who worked -- who -- i hurt many of the volunteers when i stepped aside in july. i thought both political parties that would address the problems that face the nation. we gave them a chance, they did not do it. the volunteers on their own forged ahead and put it on the ballot in the final 26 eighths after july 16. the day we were on the ballot in all 50's rates, the volunteers requested i come back and because the political parties have not responded to their concerns. i thought i was doing the right thing. i made a mistake, and i take full responsibility for it. there is only -- only one issue today, and that is what is good for our country go looking back will not solve any of the problems. looking forward, we can solve anything. he american people are concerned about a government and gridlock. our people a
