Former New York Governor George Pataki is running for president.

 

The Republican announced his bid in a video posted to his website and YouTube Thursday morning ahead of a scheduled appearance in Exeter, New Hampshire, which served as that state's capital during the Revolutionary War and claims to be the birthplace of the Republican Party.

 

"Washington has grown too big, too powerful, too expensive and too intrusive. This is exactly what the founding fathers feared," Pataki says in the video. "It is time to stand up, protect our freedom and take back this government."

 

The video opens with footage of Pataki standing in a room in a high-rise in lower Manhattan. As the former three-term governor speaks, it flips between images of Pataki's three terms as governor and footage from a visit to an American Legion in New Hampshire.

 

Later, the video shows footage of the Sept. 11 Memorial with Pataki walking through the lobby of the newly-completed One World Trade Center and chatting with New Yorkers on the streets.
