Clip from Hillary Clinton announcement video: "I'm getting ready to do something too.  I'm running for president."

[Fiorina uses remote to turn off TV with Clinton announcement]

Fiorina: Our founders never intended for us to have a professional political class.  They believed that citizens and leaders needed to step forward.

We know the only way to re-imagine our government is to re-imagine who is leading it.

I'm Carly Fiorina, and I'm running for president.

If you're tired of the soundbites, the vitriol, the pettiness, the egos, the corruption...

If you believe that it's time to declare the end of identity politics...

If you believe that it's time to declare the end of lowered expectations...

If you believe that it's time for citizens to stand up to the political class and say enough...

Then join us.

It's time for us to empower our citizens, to give them a voice in our government, to come together to fix what has been broken about our politics and our government for too long. 

Because we can do this, together.

[Musical zing]

Notes:  Fiorina's gesture of holding up the remote and turning off Hillary Clinton's announcement packs a powerful punch.
