| Description | Hello, I’m Steve Forbes.
Today, I’m happy to announce the beginning of my campaign for President of the United States of America.
Today marks the beginning of a national crusade to restore Ronald Reagan’s vision of hope and prosperity for all Americans.
I don’t believe in business as usual — and I surely don’t believe in politics as usual.
This is going to be a new, Information-Age campaign about great ideas and enduring values.
I’m going to run the first full-scale presidential campaign in American history on the Internet — because I want you to be involved every step of the way.
First, I’d like to tell you all some things about myself.
I’m the grandson of an immigrant from Scotland.
When my grandfather came to this country at the turn of the century, he came only with a dream, because he had practically no money.
He worked very hard to create a magazine about people building the greatest economy on the face of the planet. My brothers and I learned the business from our father, just as he learned it from his father.
When I became CEO years later, my goal was to keep Americans on the cutting edge of the new, Information-Age economy.
To that end, we launched new magazines that tell the story of the people building America’s small businesses and high-tech industries, creating jobs and unleashing opportunity. And we started a cutting-edge new web-site, forbes.com (Forbes Digital Tool).
Today, you and I are heading into a new century and a new millennium... |
