"Rick Perry: Time to Get America Working Again" +
  2:15 web video from Aug. 13, 2011.

[Sound] Male Announcer: Is this the change Americans voted for in 2008?

Today our children are saddled with record debt.  Two of every five dollars we spend is borrowed from creditors.  Our nation faces a jobs crisis.  One in every six work-eligible Americans can't find a full-time job.  Home values are almost one-third lower than they were five years ago.  And job creators lack the confidence to invest because of federal regulation and the debt crisis.  Record debt and the President's refusal to control spending led to our nation's credit rating being downgraded for the first time in history.

But hope is on the horizon.  Not the empty rhetoric of hope, but a record that gives us hope.

That leader?  Rick Perry. 

[Music up tempo] America's jobs governor, Rick Perry learned the values of hard work, patriotism and faith in God as the son of tenant farmers in Paint Creek, Texas. 

He wore the uniform of our country as an Air Force Captain, piloting C-130 aircraft around the globe before returning to the family farm, marrying his high school sweetheart Anita, and starting a family.

Conservative to the core, Rick Perry's fiscally disciplined leadership has held spending in check.  He signed six balanced budgets and an historic tax cut.

He's fought for lawsuit reforms that brought thousands of doctors to Texas and created jobs.

He signed a loser-pay law to stop frivilous lawsuits.

And Rick Perry's Texas has created more than 40-percent of America's net new jobs in the last two years.

It's time to get America working again.  We need a leader who knows private enterprise, not government creates jobs, someone with proven executive leadership willing to make tough choices on government spending while unleashing the power of American ingenuity and innovation in the private sector.

That leader is Rick Perry.  And the restoration of American jobs, and the American Dream begins now.


Notes: The first 40 seconds set out the current difficult economic situation.  The announcer then states that "hope is on the horizon" in the form of Rick Perry, "America's jobs governor."
