Here comes the son We have all come through an election, and what have we learned? More than half the people who could have voted, refused, apparently believing that what we do here has so little impact on their lives that they need not pass judgment on it. In other words, the the biggest vote of all in November was a vote of no confidence. So our first order of business is to regain the trust and confidence of the people we serve. Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown, 1975, first inaugural address as governor of California © 2015 Kwiple.com

And that is why today I announce that I am a candidate for president of the United States.

Here comes the son Today I announce with God's help, with the help of liberty lovers everywhere, that I'm putting myself forward as a candidate for President of the United States. Rand Paul, April 7, 2015, announcing his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination © 2015 Kwiple.com
Political dynasties I have to prove that I'm not running for president — if I go beyond the consideration of this being an active candidate — to try to break the tie between the Adams family and the Bush family. That really isn't my motivation — but I have to prove that. Jeb Bush, before formally announcing he's running for the Republican presidential nomination © 2015 Kwiple.com
