Bob Mcdonnell (VA) at acceptence speech: They'll just say NO, we'll just say YES

.....Now, my fellow Republicans, you know that elections are about choices. And this year -- regardless of who the Democrats choose on June 9th -- there will be a clear choice for Virginians going to the polls on November 3rd.

I will offer big ideas and positive solutions -- we will be the party that embraces reform and says YES.

On energy, our opponents will say NO to offshore drilling, NO to clean coal, NO to nuclear, and NO to the new jobs and investment that come with it.

When it comes to promoting energy independence:

They'll just say NO, we'll just say YES!

When it comes to the job-killing card check bill which threatens Virginia's Right to Work law, a cornerstone of our business success, our opponents will say NO to protecting the secret ballot, and NO to safeguarding Virginia's Right to Work law.

When it comes to keeping Virginia competitive:

They'll just say NO. We'll just say YES!

When it comes to educating our children, our opponents will say NO to more educational choices, NO to charter schools, and NO to performance pay for our best teachers and principals who help our children to achieve excellence.

When it comes to improving our schools:

They'll just say NO. We'll just say YES!

On the issue of government efficiency and spending, our opponents will say NO to eliminating burdensome regulations, NO to making government simpler and more user-friendly, NO to reducing unnecessary permits, fees, licenses, and decals, NO to reducing wasteful spending.

When it comes to government accountability:

They'll just say NO. We'll just say YES!


There will be a clear choice in November. We will offer positive, innovative solutions to create new jobs and provide greater freedom and opportunity for all Virginians.

When it comes to Virginia's future and the need for changes in Richmond: We'll just say YES!
