Withdraw all troops from Iraq and Afghanistan now. Stop scapegoating immigrants. Provide free health care for everyone. Regulate corporations to protect workers and the environment. Let's decide what we need and use our country's wealth to pay for it.

Career politicians, lobbyists and the parties in power failed us. With no political/corporate ties, pledged to serve one term, I will defend our Constitution; vote to cut taxes, spending and regulations; withdraw U.S. troops from overseas; protect 2nd Amendment; and audit the Federal Reserve.

We're going through the toughest economic times I've seen, and nothing is more important than creating good California jobs. I'm doing that with a specific jobs plan. (Read the entire plan at www.BarbaraBoxer.com.) First, I'm fighting to end tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas and instead give tax breaks to middle-class families and small businesses that create jobs here at home. We have to stop rewarding companies that ship our jobs to Europe, India or China. Second, I've been working to make California the hub of the new clean energy industry. I'm helping create manufacturing jobs and jobs for engineers, construction workers, salespeople and office workers. I want to see the words "Made in America" again, with clean energy that reduces pollution and gets us off foreign oil. Third, I've helped double transportation funding for California since I was elected to the Senate, and I'll continue to create thousands more jobs improving our roads, bridges and mass transit. As your Senator, I've gotten over 1,000 provisions enacted, including the first-ever federal after-school program that's helping keep a million kids off the streets and out of gangs, and tough protections for our air, water and our coast. I'm protecting a woman's right to choose. And I've gotten better treatment for our injured veterans who deserve the best from us. These are tough economic times with no easy solutions, but I won't stop fighting to create California jobs and make life better for our families.

I started my business career as a secretary, earned an MBA and became the first woman to lead a Fortune 20 company, Hewlett-Packard. I understand the challenges people face and how to create jobs. America is in a crisis. Soaring federal spending and the mushrooming federal deficit are killing jobs and stalling economic recovery. Unless reversed, our children will be burdened with unsustainable future debt. We need real job creation not failed federal policy like the stimulus. The problem is old-line politicians, who have been in office for decades, are not interested in solving problems. They are more concerned with partisanship, ideology and the next election. I'm a strong fiscal conservative who will fight to reduce spending, slash the federal deficit and stop the expansion of federal control over the economy. We are at war with terrorists who seek to destroy America's way of life. I chaired the External Advisory Board for the CIA. I'll work for tougher U.S. policy in dealing with terrorists and oppose the administration's policy to try terrorists in civilian court. If you're tired of partisan politics as usual then send a political outsider like me to Washington. I will work across party lines for real reform. Together we can take back our government; make it listen and work for each of us. I'm Carly Fiorina. I will take a fresh, new look at solving the problems facing America. We can actually make things better for a change. I'm working hard to earn your vote.
