I have an announcement to make.

I am running for President of the United States of America!

I am running because America is falling behind.

Our future is slipping. Our leaders are failing us.

Right now, in the greatest country in human history, we have too many families paying too much for groceries; too many mothers searching frantically for baby formula; and too many children who are so far behind in the classroom, they might never get ahead.

We have too many small businesses who can’t afford rent, and too many big businesses getting taxpayer bailouts.

We have too much crime on our streets – too many drugs flooding our cities – and too few police and border patrol.

And from Joe Biden on down, our leaders put too much trust in big government and too little trust in the American people.

They have us spiraling toward socialism, with a new trillion-dollar spending bill every few months, and a national debt over 30 trillion dollars.

This is not the America I want to leave to my children!

I am running for President because I know that we can do better. Will you join me in this mission?

I am the proud daughter of legal immigrants. My parents left India in search of a better life. They found it in Bamberg, South Carolina – population, 2,500. It wasn’t always easy. We were the only Indian family in our small town. Nobody knew who we were, what we were, or why we were there. But my parents knew.

Every day, my parents reminded me, my brothers, and my sister that even on our worst day, we are blessed to live in America.  They were right then – and they’re right now!

My parents came to a country that was gaining strength and growing in confidence. But that was then. Now, every day America falls further behind.

My purpose in running for President is to save our country from the downward spiral of socialism and defeatism. I aim to move America upward toward freedom and strength.

As my family and I start this journey, we ask for your prayers. And yes, of course, we ask for your vote.

But there’s something else we need even more. Something our country needs above all else…

It’s your spirit and your belief in America.

Look past the failed ideas and leaders in Washington – and find the courage to be part of the solution.

Cast off the fear that our best days are behind us – and join the movement for our country’s renewal.

See the same America I see… and stand for America, together with me.

I’m more confident than ever that we can make this vision real in our time – because that’s what I’ve seen my entire life.

As a brown girl, growing up in a black-and-white world, I saw the promise of America unfold before me.

As the proud wife of a combat veteran, I saw our people’s deep love of freedom, and determination to defend it.

As Governor, I saw our state move beyond hate and violence, and lift everyone in peace.

And as Ambassador, I saw that America is still the standard.

The time has come to renew that spirit and rally our people.

Our moment is now – and our mission is clear.

Let’s save our country and secure our future. And let’s move forward, together, toward our destiny – in a strong and proud America!

I appreciate your support more than you can imagine. If you can join us today by chipping in, it would mean so much to me.

Thank you for everything you do for our country.

My very best,

P.S. I know that together we can save our country. I am so thankful for your support. If you can chip in even $5 it would mean so much to me. Thank you again!
