[Sound/Music] Pawlenty (to camera): Hi, I'm Tim Pawlenty and I want to welcome you to the Freedom First web site.  If you're wondering why we chose that name for this site, it's pretty simple.  Freedom is the one basic idea we can all agree on.  We believe in Freedom.  That's who we are as Americans.

When I was growing up we weren't wealthy--pretty far from it.  But I knew for sure that I lived in a country where if I was willing to work hard and study hard there were no limits on what I could do or become.  That's what every American wants.

We want to feel secure in our homes and have good paying jobs.  We want to get ahead and succeed based on our hard work.  We don't want to be burdened by excessive or unfair taxes.  And we want to hold government accountable for better results.  We want to be able to go to sleep at night without fear from those who would do our country harm.  And we want to wake up in an America where the only limits on our opportunities are the reach of our own hopes and dreams.

That's what my wife Mary and I want for our two daughters.  Freedom is what we're looking for, what we believe in, and what we're willing to fight for.

This is an important time in America.  The stakes are high, and standing on the sidelines isn't an option.  I'm making a commitment to you to fight for our principles.  I'm asking for your support and I want to hear your voice.

The gift of freedom means something special to everyone.  Use this web site to tell me your story of what freedom in America means to you, and help inspire others to make a positive difference for our country's future.

Freedom is the promise of America.  If we work and stand together, there's nothing we can't do.
