I usually make sure we get all our delegates on the bus. My name's Kip Kempton. I, I'm a delegate for Arizona. I have a Chevrolet dealership. We employ 53 hard working individuals which means we have 53 families leading through the Obamacare platform, I fear that once it is enacted, that I'm going to have to actually look to reduce our employee level to 49. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. We offer insurance to everyone of our employees. We always have. And it may force us to make a decision that I do not want to make. I went through the time when Chevrolet shut down. I saw two or three dealerships within 100 mile radius close by no choice of them. I saw employees that were hard working employees. Service technicians, salesmen lose jobs. I grew up in Phoenix And, I now live in a smaller town. And I have a deep passion for the conservative principles that rural, rural America has. And, and I believe that's why I'm here. Because I wanna represent that voice that rural America has. [ SOUND ] I believe that. What, what is at stake is the opportunity to go out and, and achieve your goals that, that you have. I've seen the government tell us how we need to administer the security issues in an attempt to protect the individual. And I've seen some of the policies actually create more concern for people's security. I think we're at a point in the United States where We have to, we have to decide which route we're going to go to. And, and which, economic policy we decide to follow. My biggest hope is that the, Romney numbers continue to increase. And that the people of America see and understand his vision. And they understand Paul Ryan's vision. [ INAUDIBLE ]. I want. [ SOUND ] The debt that this nation faces reversed. As, as Thomas Paine said. He says, I want this challenge to be taken care of now. I don't want my children to have to deal with it. I have four beautiful children. I would do anything for 'em. And that debt scares me to death.
