When i began, i said the campaign was grounded in my love of country pier lastneration immigrant, got to vote for her daughter for president. Only in america. I am filled with gratitudeor the outpouring of support we have received from all across our great country, but the time has now come to suspend my campaign. Americans to have their voices heard. I have done that. I have no regrets, and although i will no longer■ be a candida, i will not stop using my voice for the things i believe in. Our National Debt will eventually crush our economy. A smaller federal government is not only necessary for our freedom, it is necessary for our survival. The road to socialism is the road to ruin for america. Our congress is dysfunctional and only getting worse. I will continue to promotell every american.

Our country is too precious to let our differences divide us. I have always been a conservative republican and always supported the republican nominee, but on this question, as she did on so many others, Margaret Thatcher some good advise when she said just follow the crowd. Always make up your own mind. It is now up to donald trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him, and i hope he does that. At its best, politicis about bringing people into your cause, not turning them away, and our conservative cause badly needs more people. This is now his time for change. I end my campaign with the same words i began itro joshua. I direct them to all americans, but especially to so many of the women and girls out there who put their faith in our campaign.

It has been set in so many ways, but i think it will do something that, frankly, nobody has been able to do for a long time. Ave watched our country take a great beating over the last anything like this would be possible. We would not have russia attacking ukraine. We would not have■ ■ug attacked. Iran, as you know, was broke when i was running things. They did not have money for they did not have hezbollah. We had no inflation. Inflation is destroying the middle class, destroying everything. oja tragic thing happened during the election. It was a tragedy. All of the problems that you had today, i dont think you would have any of them. You would only have success, and and this party. Imately unifies we have a Great Republican Party with tremendous talent, and we want to have unity and we are going to have unity, and its going to happen very quickly. Our country was coming together. Our country was coming together, and now we have a very divided country. We have a country that is a political person uses weaponization against his opponent. It happens in other countries, but they are third world a third world country. We are a third world country with our borders and a third world country to stop that. We need a fair and repressed. The press has not been fair, nor it been free, but maybe one day it will be. We have been beaten up pretty bad. Nobody has confidence now in the police, and we have to get that confidence back. It is so important for the success of our country. So important. November 5 is going to go down as the single most important day in the history of our country.

Democrat jason palmer was a surprise winner of the American Samoan democratic president ial caucus this super tuesday. While redents of American Samoa are not allowed to vote in a president iallection as they are not considered citizens, members of the Democratic Party are able to participate in the partys president i caucus. Mr. Palmer took 51 of the 91 ballots cast in the caucus, netting him three of the territorysiates to the summers Democratic National convention in chicago. While not a household name, he is no stranger to cspan cameras. Hes onof the candidates we covered in december of the lesserknown Candidates Forum in new hampshire. Next, some of his appearance at the event. America needs an upgrade. Our country is entangled in too many foreign wars. Our congress is completely dysfunctional. Our borders are overrun, and our leadership is geriatric. Its time to pass the torch to a new generation of americans, are standing up and putting their hats in the ring. We need people that understand new technogi 21stcentury whileg committed to the values that are eternal here in america liberty, justice for all, the pursuit of happiness. I may unique candidate for submitting myself for public service. Of business and philanthropy and with colleges and universities for the las25 years of my life. I worked at the bill and Melinda Gates foundation. I have in a turnaround leader. I have invested in more than 20 entrepreneuro than 1000 jobs a1 billion in market capitalization. We need someone who actually knows how to fix things and Bring Solutions to this country. Thats what i have done over the course of my life. Ive constructed a platform based on three pillars i want to briefly explain to you. You ■n k■ have 20 seconds to. And i will do it in 20 seconds. The first is conscious capitalism. There is a way here in new england to reorganize ourrporats instead of c corporations. We can invest in people first and upscaled them upskill for jobs in the 21st century,. We are here today after a gunman killed three people and wounded a fourth and just a few hampshire, a Security Guard was shot and killed. What if anything needs to happen at the federal level to prevent this kind of violence . This issue is why 90 of Young Americans are tuning out this issue has occurred over and over and over in schools across america and we have not come up with a bipartisan■■ have a bipao resolve it. Its called gun violence reductio it respects the Second Amendment and the right of people to bear arms, but it also focuses on evidencebased solutions that we know will work to reduce gun those include things like gun training for new gun owners. Those include things like preventing semiotic weapons from being in the homes of people who have been convicted of domestic violence. Those involved red fl laws related to the Mental Health of individuals. You will notice that im saying this veryyz calmly, and the rean why is because people get very inflamed over this issue, but there is a bipartisan, evidencebased way to solve this problem, and as president , i intend to solve it within the first year of my administration. Mr. Palmer, you an end to endless war, so we will start with you. Regarding the war in gaza, should the u. S. Be insisting upon an exteed get all the amern hostages out of israel, or should we defer to the military and political on how to go forward . As a quaker by background, i think that all life is precious and every life has value, so a ceasefire is what the United States should be recommending with regards to the israeligaza conflict. We need to do everything in our power to minimize the loss of life. This conflict has been going ons kicking the can down the road. We need to show true leadershito committed these atrocities must be brought to justice, but not at the expense of the lestinian peopleboth the israele palestinians are living under corrupt governments. We can hold two thoughts in our head at the same time, and we need to focus on the loss of life. Ressmadean phillips dropped his bid for the presidency this week.
