Let this be our time in history so that someday we can tell our children and grandchildren that we were there, that we changed the course of history for the better. – Scott Walker
I’ve often heard the complaint from both Democrat and Republican voters alike that they hate the fact that politicians get into office and they – and they’re fearful, they’re fearful to make tough decisions because they think more about the next election than they do about the next-generation. – Scott Walker
My problem with public sector union leaders, the bosses, has been they stood in the way of protecting the taxpayer. – Scott Walker
And I think Governor Romney has a shot if the ‘R’ next to his name doesn’t just stand for ‘Republican,’ it stands for ‘reformer.’ – Scott Walker
What makes America amazing is that there have always been men and women of courage who were willing to think more about the future of their children and grandchildren than they did about their own political careers. – Scott Walker
A wise governor told me a long time ago, political capital you don’t get more of by keeping it. You get it by using it. – Scott Walker
Mitt Romney turned businesses around in the private sector. He saved the Winter Olympics. – Scott Walker
One of those promises was to limit the size of government and to have the government serve the people – and not the other way around. – Scott Walker
You look at Governor Romney’s record in the private sector, he helped turn businesses around. Certainly a decade ago he took what would have been an international disaster with the U.S. Olympics, and turned it around for America and made us great again with the Olympics in Salt Lake City. – Scott Walker
So let me be clear, Collective bargaining isn’t a right, it is an expensive entitlement. Once and for all, we are giving the taxpayers a voice in this debate. We put the power back in the hands of the people. – Scott Walker
I think most people believe success in government is how many fewer people are in government, not because you kick them off of benefits like unemployment but they’ve been able to control their own destiny because private sector employers have created more jobs. – Scott Walker
We are the ones looking out for the middle class. Who do think pays for the endless expansion of government? Its middle class taxpayers. Our reforms protect middle class taxpayers. – Scott Walker
Political leaders in Illinois kicked the can down the road, raised taxes, and ignored fiscal realities. Now, they’re realizing the consequences of their actions: credit downgrades and negative outlooks. – Scott Walker
Now things have changed for the better. Our reforms end seniority and tenure so we can hire and fire based on merit and pay based on performance. That means we can put the best and the brightest in our classrooms – and we can keep them there. – Scott Walker
I joke with my kids, who love history, that I’ll be the only governor to be elected twice in his first term. – Scott Walker
What has made America amazing has been the fact that throughout our history, throughout the more than 200 years of our history, there have been men and women of courage who stood up and decided it was more important to look out for the future of their children and their grandchildren than their own political futures. – Scott Walker
I believe that smaller government is better government. But I also believe that in the areas where government does play a legitimate role, we should demand that it is done better. – Scott Walker
The unions say ‘last hired – first fired,’, we say hire and fire based on merit. We want the best and brightest in the classroom. – Scott Walker
I’d like now and into the future to play a bigger role not only in Wisconsin and the Midwest, but nationally. I’d like to have an impact. – Scott Walker
Looking at America’s history, ordinary people did something extraordinary. Leaders risked their lives for freedoms that we take for granted today. That’s what instills confidence. That’s us. We will move forward and prosper because that’s who we are as Americans. – Scott Walker
More people on unemployment benefits is not success in America, fewer people on not because we kicked them off but because they have been able to get a job in the private sector, because government got out of the way. – Scott Walker
It’s time to put our differences aside and find ways to work together to move Wisconsin forward. – Scott Walker
We could see the Teamsters coming in from New Jersey, the AFL-CIO from Chicago. You could see all of the people being bused in. – Scott Walker
I have not made any plans for the future, and my wife would kill me if I announced anything before that. – Scott Walker
