Here are Giuliani's "Twelve Commitments," which he is unveiling right now:
I will keep America on offense in the Terrorists' War on Us.
-I will end illegal immigration, secure our borders, and identify every non-citizen in our nation. -I will restore fiscal discipline and cut wasteful Washington spending.
-I will cut taxes and reform the tax code.
-I will impose accountability on Washington.
-I will lead America towards energy independence.
-I will give Americans more control over, and access to, healthcare with affordable and portable free-market solutions.
-I will increase adoptions, decrease abortions, and protect the quality of life for our children.
-I will reform the legal system and appoint strict constructionist judges.
-I will ensure that every community in America is prepared for terrorist attacks and natural disasters.
-I will provide access to a quality education to every child in America by giving real school choice to parents.
-I will expand America's involvement in the global economy and strengthen our reputation around the world.
Giuliani's chief policy adviser, Bill Simon (the one-time candidate for Calif. governor) spent the most time on this speech with Giuliani -- but others have also contributed to the speech, including his chief political aides, Tony Carbonetti, Mike DuHaime and Katie Levinson.
