Transcript:
It has been an honor to participate in the 2016 Republican Presidential Primary.
I am proud of our principled campaign and the thousands of young people that have been energized by our message of limited constitutional government.
Ours has been a unique voice in this race - one that says Big Government threatens Americans from all walks of life, rich and poor, black and white - from the coal miner who has lost his job over President Obama's destructive EPA regulations... to the teenager from a poor family facing jail time for marijuana. I will continue to fight for criminal justice reform, for privacy, and your 4th amendment rights. I will continue to champion due process over indefinite detention.
I will continue to be a voice against the out of control regulation, spending and debt that is crippling our country's economy and the future of our children. I will not ignore the terrible cost of decades of war and chaos in the Middle East, and the unintended consequences of regime change and nation building. I will never forget the thousands of American soldiers who have given their lives - and the thousands more who live everyday with catastrophic injuries.
These are the issues that have defined my campaign. Kelley and I are deeply grateful to our outstanding staff and tireless volunteers and supporters - people who believe in liberty. It has been a privilege to give voice to the liberty movement in this race and I believe we have broadened the debate by being part of it. Although today I will suspend my campaign for the Presidency, I will continue to fight on for liberty, for the Constitution, and for justice in the United States Senate. Thank you, and God Bless America.
