O’Malley: “I have the ability to move our country forward”

“All of us are working harder and yet are falling further behind,” O’Malley said. “In other words, for a lot of us, the American dream and the truth of that dream is on the ropes. We can be a country that wherever you start you can get ahead, but we’re going to have to make better choices. I understand leadership is important. Leadership that can solve problems, it can bring people together to make progress. That’s why I am running. I love my country and I have the experience and the ability to move our country forward and make that dream real again for us.”

O’Malley adds he aims to improve the future of America.

“Wherever you start in the United States of America, you should be able to work hard and be able to get ahead,” O’Malley said. “I believe there are somethings we can only do as a nation in order to make sure that opportunity is not some hollow word, but something that’s available to every single family that’s willing to work hard.”

“Threats we face are different today than they were back then,” O’Malley said. “From nation state failures, to the rise of ISIS, to pandemics, to climate change and the stabilization that brings about. We need a national security strategy that focuses on threats as they are rising and then takes action to reduce those threats before we are backed into a corner.”

O’Malley says the country faces a daunting array of threats and that we need a new national security strategy.

And I think that will happen after the first debate. He has been ahead of other candidates with actual plans to get the job done when it comes to creating jobs, fixing climate change, going after Wall Street, etc. He has a record of doing what he says, and that is why I support him.
