Mike Pence

We cannot have four more years apologizing to our enemies and abandoning our friends.

All we're getting from the Democratic majority in Congress and from this White House is more bailouts, more spending, more planned stimulus, more deficits and debt, and the American people have had it.

I mean, the reality is unemployment today - over 14 million Americans are unemployed. That's exactly what it was a year ago. I mean, this - the American people know we can't borrow and spend and bail our way back to a growing economy.

It is a tragedy indeed that new generations, taking office, attribute failures in governance to insufficient power, and seek more of it.

In the last four years under the Patriot Act, we have seen a great increase in the ability of law enforcement officials to investigate and track terrorists.

As we begin this debate, I am confident that we will hear the supporters of this bill argue in the name of Ronald Reagan that this research is consistent with his long-held views about the sanctity of life.

It is not for the State Department or even the Secretary of State to say when and how the resources of the American people will be spent.

I opposed the Medicare prescription drug entitlement. I opposed the Wall Street bailout. I opposed the stimulus bill.

I occasionally got called the Rush Limbaugh of Indiana, but most people knew that my style was different.

Don't Ask, Don't Tell was a successful compromise in 1993; and so that compromise should remain.

Negative campaigning is wrong.

Comments that suggest that Muslims should be banned from the United States are offensive and unconstitutional.

What I want the Congress of the United States to do, and frankly what I would like to see the President of the United States of America do, is speak a word of support to the people of Iran.

It's time for conservative Americans to right the ship again.

The American economy has been built and sustained by risk-taking entrepreneurs whose pioneering ideas and hard work gave birth to flourishing businesses.

By requiring that any surplus in Social Security taxes be returned to the American people in personal savings accounts, the plan ensures that Social Security taxes will be used for Social Security.

Hillary Clinton essentially offers a third Obama term. And the role is perfect for her. She championed 'Obamacare' because years earlier she had all but invented it.

While that amendment failed, human cloning continues to advance and the breakthrough in this unethical and morally questionable science is around the corner.

Uh, do I believe in evolution? I embrace the view that God created the heavens and the earth, the seas and all that's in them. The means that he used to do that, I can't say, but I do believe in that fundamental truth.

My family and I couldn't be more happy for the opportunity to run with and serve with the next president of the United States.

It is a rare piece of legislation indeed where there is so much agreement about the goals.

Let's win the peace and democracy the good people of Iraq so richly deserve after decades of tyranny.

Our founders insisted that protecting the states' power to govern themselves was vital to limit the power of Washington and preserve freedom.

The true legacy of 9-11 cannot be found among political leaders of the day, but in the citizen soldiers and public safety personnel who answered that day with courage and selflessness.

The reality is that during the Reagan years, for instance, we doubled the amount of revenue that we were sending to Washington, D.C. after the tax cuts took effect.

Donald Trump is a good man, and he will make a great president of the United States of America.

Power is an instrument of fatal consequence. It is confined no more readily than quicksilver, and escapes good intentions as easily as air flows through mesh.

The American people are tired of being told. They're tired of being told that this is as good as it gets. They're tired of hearing politicians in both parties tell us that we'll get to that tomorrow while we pile a mountain range of debt on our children and our grandchildren.

As a conservative who believes in limited government, I believe that the only check on government power in real time is a free and independent press.

The presidency is the most visible thread that runs through the tapestry of the American government. More often than not, for good or for ill, it sets the tone for the other branches and spurs the expectations of the people.

A campaign ought to demonstrate the basic human decency of the candidate. That means your First Amendment rights end at the tip of your opponent's nose - even in the matter of political rhetoric.

We have rights in America. In tandem with those rights, we have responsibility. Whatever type of journalist we are, whether it be in the entertainment business, or as professional journalists, we always have the consequences of the way we present fact and information.

What is real is that adultery destroys tens of thousands of families every year across America. What is real is that adultery scars tens of thousands of children emotionally and psychologically every year. What is real is that adultery is an open wound in a relationship which more often than not overflows into domestic violence or worse.

A republic - if you can keep it - is about limitation, and for good reason, because we are mortal and our actions are imperfect.

I'm grateful to Donald Trump's pro-life views, and I'm grateful that he's expressed those views so publicly and openly.

I don't believe Rush Limbaugh has a racist bone in his body.

If Planned Parenthood wants to be involved in providing counseling services and HIV testing, they ought not be in the business of providing abortions.

Several millennia ago, the words were written that a man should leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. It was not our idea; it was God's idea.

There's going to be no compromise on repealing Obamacare lock, stock and barrel.

If I only had 12 years left to live, I'd want to live it as a member of Congress because that was the 12 longest years of my life.

It's time to save the U.N. from its own scandals and mismanagement. It's time for U.N. Reform with teeth.

Most climatologists agree that, at best, global warming is a theory about future climactic conditions and cannot be proven based upon the historic record.

For me, it all begins with faith; it begins with what matters most, and I try and put what I believe to be moral truth first. My philosophy of government second. And my politics third.

It's time to stop the raid on the Social Security trust fund and start allowing Americans to invest their Social Security taxes in personal savings accounts.

Like every American, I will never forget where I was on the morning of September 11, 2001. As a member of Congress from Indiana, that day my duties took me to Capitol Hill and to sights and sounds I will never forget.

The so-called 'Employee Free Choice Act' envisions a world where workers would be denied privacy and forced to vote in an atmosphere of intimidation.

Indiana is a state that works because conservative principles work every time you put them into practice.

I watched my mom and dad build everything that matters - a family, a home and a good name.

I abhor discrimination. The way I was raised was like most Hoosiers, with the golden rule, that you should do unto others what you'd have them do unto you.

I opposed No Child Left Behind, I opposed the Medicare prescription drug bill, I opposed the Wall Street bailout. What the American people are starting to see is that Republican, Republicans on Capitol Hill get it and the Democrats, from the White House to Capitol Hill, just don't get it.

I'm a Christian, a conservative, and a Republican, in that order.

Despite the hysteria from the political class and the media, smoking doesn't kill.

I truly believe that firearms in the hands of law abiding citizen's makes our families and our communities more safe, not less safe.

I said after 2006 that Republicans didn't just lose our majority, we lost our way. I mean, our party walked away from the principles that men in our national governing majority first in 1980 and again in 1994, and the American people walked away from us.

People in both parties are restless for change, ready to break free of old patterns in Washington.

When Donald Trump becomes president of the United States of America, the change will be... huge.

I support free trade, and so does Donald Trump.

If I saw a restaurant owner refuse to serve a gay couple, I wouldn't eat there anymore. As governor of Indiana, if I were presented a bill that legalized discrimination against any person or group, I would veto it.

Anybody that's been in Indiana for five minutes knows that Hoosier hospitality is not a slogan, it's a reality.

People are tired of being told that this is as good as it gets. They hear in Donald Trump someone who says, 'We can do better.'

The United States cannot and should not discriminate on the basis of religion. The free exercise of religion is at the very heart of our constitutional guarantee for all persons of this country.

There are no kinder, more generous, more welcoming, more hospitable people in America than in the 92 counties of Indiana.

No one should be harassed or mistreated because of who they are, who they love, or what they believe.

I strongly oppose the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. We must stand for the right of every American to practice their faith according to the dictates of their conscience, whether it be in the public square or in the workplace.

I promise you that when the circumstances arise where I have a difference on policy or on presentation, I have - I can tell you in my heart, I know - I would have no hesitation, were I privileged to be vice president, to walk into the president's office, close the door, and share my heart.

If you want a president who will upend the status quo in Washington, D.C., and appoint justices of the Supreme Court who will uphold the Constitution, we have but one choice, and that man is ready. This team is ready. Our party is ready and when we elect Donald Trump, the 45th president.

Sadly, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal in this country and has been going on at universities and research facilities for years.

Well, I think the reality is that as you study - when President Kennedy cut marginal tax rates, when Ronald Reagan cut marginal tax rates, when President Bush imposed those tax cuts, they actually generated economic growth. They expanded the economy. They expand tax revenues.

I'm a small-town kid who grew up with a cornfield in the back yard and dreaming of serving my country in public office.

And my Christianity, first and foremost, governed the way that I tried to deal with people.

Well the truth is, Republicans didn't just lose a few elections, we lost our way.

The reality is the cap-and-trade legislation offered by the Democrats amounts to an economic declaration of war on the Midwest by liberals on Capitol Hill.

We can choose a leader who will fight every day to make America great again.

We will win the hearts and minds of the American people with an agenda for a stronger and more prosperous America.

We'll uphold our treaty obligations, including the mutual defense agreement that is NATO.

Hoosiers don't believe in discrimination.

You shut the door, you tell the boss exactly what you think. But when the door opens, the job of the vice president is to stand right next to the president and implement the policy that he's decided. And I'm prepared to do that.

Fighting for free enterprise means standing up for free markets. The freedom to succeed includes the freedom to fail. We must defend entrepreneurial capitalism against the onslaught of the American Left.

To date, embryonic stem cell research has not produced a single medical treatment, where ethical, adult stem cell research has produced some 67 medical miracles.

In my home state of Indiana, we prove every day that you can build a growing economy on balanced budgets, low taxes, even while making record investments in education and roads and health care.

The conservative movement today is like that tall ship with its proud captain: strong, accomplished but veering off course into the dangerous and uncharted waters of big government republicanism.

I think it's time for the media and our leaders to get real and start telling the truth about the impact of adultery on our national life.

It's time for conservative Americans to do what Reagan did.

We are here simply to decide whether Congress should take the taxpayer dollars of millions of pro-life Americans and use them to fund the destruction of human embryos for research.

Hillary Clinton wants a new title, and I would, too, if I already was secretary of the status quo.

And conservatives know that if you reject these principles of limited government and urge others to reject them you can be my ally, you can be my friend but you cannot call yourself a conservative.

I have prayed with the families and wept at the funerals of Hoosiers who did not shrink from 9-11 but grew into heroes whose names will forever be engraved in the heart of a grateful nation.

Trade means jobs, but trade also means security. The time has come for all of us to urge the swift adoption of the Trans Pacific Partnership.

Donald Trump understands the anxiety and aspirations of the American people like no leader since Reagan.

As governor of Indiana, if I were presented a bill that legalized discrimination against any person or group, I would veto it.

I believe we need to focus first and foremost - as Donald Trump has done with such force and such passion - on border integrity and building the wall.

The anguish in London is a vivid reminder of why we cannot relent in taking the steps necessary to defend our homeland from the present terrorist threat.

I believe in servant leadership, and the servant always asks, 'Where am I needed most?'

I never thought I'd live to see the day that an American administration would denounce the state of Israel for rebuilding Jerusalem.

The heroes of my childhood were Martin Luther King Jr. and John F. Kennedy... but I was inspired by the ideals of our 40th president and became a Republican.

More than anything else, let me be clear - we need to be willing to fight for freedom, and free markets, and traditional moral values. That's what the American people want to see this movement and this party return to.

It's very, very humbling, and I couldn't be more honored to have the opportunity to run with, and serve with, the next president of the United States.

We want to make it clear that Indiana's open for business. We want to make it clear that Hoosier hospitality is not a slogan, it's our way of life. It's the reason why people come here from around the world and they come back again and again. Because Hoosiers are the kindest, most generous, most decent people in the world.

Donald Trump gets it: he's the genuine article. He's a doer in a game usually reserved for talkers. And when Donald Trump does his talking, he doesn't tiptoe around the thousand new rules of political correctness.

I haven't agreed with every one of my Republican colleagues or Democratic colleagues on every issue. But I'm supporting Donald Trump because we need change in this country.
