3:13 video from June 14, 2015.
Denisha Merriweather
(Jacksonville, FL): My mom, my brother, and my uncle all dropped
out of school, by the time I was in the third grade I had failed twice.
Miguel Manrara (Miramar, FL):
My
first
job
was
picking up garbage and cardboard so I could have some
money to feed, to help feed my family, my mother, my father.
Berthy De La Rosa-Aponte
(Cooper City, FL): Lucy has autism, she doesn't speak, she
doesn't walk, but not being able to speak is not the same as not having
anything to say. People with disabilities they want to have freedom,
just like anybody else.
Kim Donatelle (Sarasota, FL):
One
out
of
four
women are going to be victimized by somebody who claims
to love them. Domestic violence is an epidemic, this isn't a small
problem.
Gov. Bush: The
barriers right now on people rising up is the great challenge of our
time. So many people could do so much better if we fixed a few things.
My core beliefs start with the premise that the most vulnerable in our
society should be in the front of the line, not the back. And as
Governor, I had a chance to act on that core belief.
Denisha Merriweather
(Jacksonville, FL): Governor Jeb Bush instituted the first
voucher program in the United States to give low income kids an
opportunity to go to a private school. Out of my immediate family, I am
the first person to graduate from high school. And then I went on to
graduate from college.
Miguel Manrara (Miramar, FL):
I
am
currently
an
account manager. And the main reason I'm in the
situation and the position that I am right now is because Jeb Bush
allowed companies like Goya Foods of Florida to grow, to create high
paying jobs. I am the perfect representation of the American dream.
Gov. Bush: This is
what leadership is about, it’s not just about yapping about things.
There are a lot of people talking, and they’re pretty good at it. We
need to start fixing things. I said I was going to do these things and
I did them, and the result was Florida is a lot better off.
Kim Donatelle (Sarasota, FL):
I
think
Governor
Bush
changed a lot of lives in Florida. I am very
grateful that he was our Governor. I don't think that we would be where
we are today, with regards to domestic violence, had he not been the
Governor. He wanted women to not live the way that I found myself, it's
changed so many lives.
Berthy De La Rosa-Aponte
(Cooper City, FL): He really cares about us. He really cares
about people with developmental disabilities, and with all
disabilities. There are people today that are getting services because
of what Jeb did. He doesn't do it for himself, he does it because he is
a true servant. He is the best voice that we can have.
Gov. Bush: I am proud
of the fact that many families now have the chance to live lives of
purpose and meaning. You can improve the life of people, whether it's
in the programs for the developmentally disabled, or changing our
economy, or fixing our higher education system. All of these things can
be fixed I am absolutely convinced of it. What we need is new
leadership that takes conservative principles and applies them so that
people can rise up. America's best days are in front of us, and we are
going to lead the world.
Notes: Very good production
values in this video.
From the
press release, the first issued by the incipient campaign:
Today,
Governor Bush released a new web video, “Making a Difference,”
introducing himself to the nation ahead of his announcement on Monday.
The video highlights the impact Jeb Bush had on the lives of countless
Floridians as Governor of Florida.
Drawing on first person accounts, the video tells the story of someone
who cares deeply about helping people and getting results that allow
everyone the opportunity to achieve their dreams.
“Making A Difference” shows that Jeb Bush knows how to fix the problems
facing Americans, because he’s done it.
