Campaigning his way through the country, Newt Gingrich is on a mission of “rebuilding the America we love.”

Gingrich’s wife Callista took to the podium to introduce him to a packed house audience at the Pell City Civic Center.

“Newt and I engaged in this race because America is in a crossroads, and we are deeply committed to removing President Obama from the White House,” said Callista. “We feel that experience and knowledge is needed to rebuild the America we love. I’d like to introduce to you our next president—Newt Gingrich.”

Immediately addressing President Obama’s statement that we can’t get gas costs down to $2.50. Newt said that’s inaccurate.

“I have a challenge for the president. I’ll be glad to debate him at any gas station in America,” Newt said.

Citing the central problem with what’s wrong with America today, liberalism, Newt received cheers from the crowd.

Taking issue with a White House statement made about drilling, Newt paraphrased President Obama saying, “You can’t drill your way to a solution, but we have a solution—algae.”

Newt can already see how this scenario would play out—as a great Saturday Night Live skit.

“Can’t you just see President Obama pull up to a gas station with a jar of algae,” said Newt. “I believe in science and that bio-fuels have a future, but for the president to say that algae is the solution only proves the liberal fantasy world he lives in—it’s simply not true.”

Complimenting his St. Clair County crowd Newt said, “You all look like a pretty smart audience. In fact, you look smarter than Barack Obama.”

Recalling that gas prices were $1.89 when President Obama took office, Newt said no Obama means no expensive gas, it’s that complicated.

“I never again want to see an American president bow down to a Saudi king,” said Newt.

Calling for a fundamental rethinking, Newt said, “When an American president, a Commander in Chief, apologizes to those who are killing young Americans, something is profoundly wrong with our policy.”

Asking for St. Clair County’s along with the state of Alabama’s help, Newt said he needed everyone in the room’s support at the polls in order to win the primary and the election.

“I have a real obligation to go out and defeat Obama for the future of the United States,” said Newt. “We need to fix the judges, bureaucracies and the law.”

Pledging to repeal Obama Care by the time he’s sworn in, Newt said he would have the economy growing again by taking off the burden of big government.

“Within hours of being sworn in, I will sign executive orders to abolish all of the White House czars. I will also sign executive orders that approves the Keystone Pipeline and moving the American embassy from Tal Aviv to Jerusalem,” said Newt. “America deserves to have a president who actually knows how to do these things and the way Washington operates. Working with Ronald Reagan in the 80s we created tax cuts, deregulations and 16 million new jobs. We did it by being positive and the result was—the people responded.”

Outlining why he is more qualified than the rest of his Republican candidates, Newt said, “The other Republicans don’t have the depth of experience of changing things.”

Describing himself as not a team player in the sense of going along to get along, Newt said, “I believe Romney and Santorum would play the Washington game just fine, but I intend to play the Washington game, I intend to change it.”

Striving to get American back on the constitutional track of limited government, Newt went on to say free enterprise is the engine that creates jobs.

“I believe in Proverbs —where there is no vision, the people perish. I am a visionary,” said Gingrich.

Asking the crowd to go on their Facebook pages and write Newt = $2.50, he said, “We need your vote next Tuesday. We’re really excited by the energy we see here and with your help I believe we can win an extraordinary victory.”

After concluding his speech Newt, Callista and his campaign crew made their way done Martin Street North to the Shop “N” Fill Texaco to reinforce his passion for lowering gas prices.

“Local Pell City businessman Jeff Jones will share with you the impact of President Obama’s refusal to deal with rising gas prices has on the people of this area,” said Newt.

“We’re 30 miles from Birmingham with a lot of our residents commuting for work. Rising gas prices are taking away our disposable income,” said Jones.

Holding the gas pump Newt said, “There is no algae that’s going to come out of this. You deserve a president who pays attention to reality. Next Tuesday Alabamians have a real chance to change things.”
