Tampa, FL - At a town hall meeting in Tampa today, U.S. Senate candidate Marco Rubio will announce the first in a series of proposals to reclaim America's future by offering a clear alternative to the anti-growth, anti-job creation economic policies coming out of Washington.
In a web video this morning, Rubio highlighted the problem of big spending politicians from both parties who have taken over Washington and say or do anything to remain in power, and why Washington needs a clear conservative alternative to help jumpstart the economy and begin the path to recovery in the Gulf Coast.

"For over a year now, I've traveled across Florida and listened as people told me not only about the challenges they are talking about at their kitchen tables and the problems they see in Washington, but also about the solutions they want," said Rubio. "Today, I will begin laying out simple ideas to start to reclaim America's future from those in Washington who are taking us down the wrong path.
"All we hear out of Washington is talk of comprehensive plans while say-and-do anything politicians utterly refuse to do the simple things to get our spending under control, our economy back on track and our health care costs lowered. Floridians want a leader to go to Washington to be a check-and-balance against the policies that are taking our country in the wrong direction, but also offer a clear and positive alternative. And that is what I promise Floridians.
"Some of these ideas will be so straightforward it's amazing thatWashington has refused to do them. And some will be controversial because politicians believe they aren't convenient to winning an election.
"When I was Speaker, we put forth '100 Ideas' to improve Florida's future that were proposed to us by Floridians. Today in Tampa, we will begin proposing a new set of 'ideas' to help Floridians, grow our economy, get spending under control and reclaim America's future."
