 John Kerry (to camera):  As President I’ll set a few clear national priorities for America. 

First, we will keep this country safe and secure. 

Second, I’ll put an end to tax incentives that encourage American companies to ship jobs overseas. 

And third, we’ll invest in education and healthcare. 

My priorities are jobs and healthcare.  My commitment is to defend this country.

I’m John Kerry and I approved this message because together we can build a stronger America.
