This was the second time McCain held a rally in La Crosse after the primary elections in February. His wife Cindy McCain introduced him, giving a brief account of the senator's accomplishments in the army, as well as in senate.
"It takes experience to lead a nation, it takes leadership to lead a nation," Cindy McCain said. "More importantly it takes the time and character for a man who's served his country since he was seventeen years old."
From behind the podium, McCain said he needed the state of Wisconsin in order to win the elections in November.
He then spoke about how America is in a time of crisis, saying it must get to the heart of the problem - housing prices.
"In the debate (last week) … I proposed a plan to help homeowners across America," he said. "In my orders as president, the secretary of treasury who carried out homeownership resurgent's plant, the United States government will support the financing the stress mortgages for home owners and replacement with manageable mortgages so people can stay in their homes."
During his speech, McCain stressed that the United States needs a president people can trust.
"We are going to see change in Washington," he said. "The question is whose direction … which candidate's experience in government … makes him a more reliable leader for our country."
McCain said as a president he plans to stop the abuse in Washington by doing "whatever it takes." He said he plans to bring tax relief to the middle class and help businesses create jobs. He then said he was going to help families keep their homes and help students pay for college as well as find and keep jobs.
