Additional Description

Transcript – Full

What has happened to America? We've had the good sense to create lovely parks, but we're afraid to use them after dark. We build libraries and galleries to hold the world's greatest treasury of art, and we permit the world's greatest collection of smut to be freely available everywhere. The highest echelons of government are embroiled in scandals that are cynically swept under the rug. National morality, by example and by persuasion, should begin at the White House and have the good influence to reach out to every corner of the land. This is not the case today because our country has lacked leadership that treats public office as a public trust. I pledge that Bill Miller and I will restore to America a dedication to principle and to conscience among its public servants. In your heart, you know he's right. Vote for Barry Goldwater.
