PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: MARSHALL COLEMAN FUNDRAISER
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA
NOVEMBER 3, 1989
12:00 noon?
I'm happy to be here in Richmond, back in the beautiful
capital of the Old Dominion. /// [[ Thank you for such a warm
welcome this afternoon. It's just a pity I can't stick around
for Friday Cheers. ]] 111
[Introductory acknowlegements.] I want to thank all the
eminent Virginians who are here with me today. Congressman Tom
Bliley, who does such a fine job representing the 3rd District in
the U.S. House. Two outstanding members of the Virginia Senate
who are ready to step up to new positions of public trust: Joe
Benedetti -- running hard for Attorney General. Eddy Dalton --
Virginia's next Lieutenant Governor.
And finally, let's all say hello to Virginia's next
Governor: Marshall Coleman. ////
We're in the final four days -- the home stretch, and
Marshall's finishing strong. [[ And I don't blame the other
side if they've lost some of their focus lately. /// It's hard
2
to keep your eyes on the finish line when you're busy looking
over your shoulder. ]]
[[ Reggie Jackson was called "Mr. October" because he
always came through when the big game was on the line. Well, I
think you'll find that Marshall Coleman is "Mr. November." And
I'll tell all of you what I told Marshall just a few moments ago:
the only poll that counts is the one that happens on November
7.11
Four days from now, the people of this state are going to
decide who has a vision for Virginia in the 90s -- who can lead
the Old Dominion into a new decade full of new challenges.
My friends, that man is Marshall Coleman -- a man of
integrity. A man with the new ideas the Old Dominion needs to
reach its destiny.
We know what we can expect from Marshall's opponent, and his
party's way of doing things. I hear the same things up on
Capitol Hill that you do from Capitol Square -- and it's
beginning to sound like a broken record. Doesn't matter what it
is, every issue is an opportunity -- to raise your taxes.
3
Well, make no mistake: Marshall Coleman is one candidate
who doesn't confuse having a vision for the future with having a
sharp eye on your wallets. ///
Marshall knows the issues that matter to most Virginians.
Take the issue of law and order. Marshall's a veteran crime
fighter -- a former Attorney General who understands you can't
have safe streets and neighborhoods unless you're ready to make
life tough on criminals. That means tougher sentencing -- and an
end to early release and parole policies that put dangerous
criminals back on the street when they should stay where they
belong -- behind bars.
And Marshall Coleman is the right man to lead Virginia in
the battle against drug abuse. The war on drugs isn't a war of
words. Anyone can talk tough -- but talking tough doesn't keep
dealers off the street. It doesn't keep drugs out of the hands
of our children.
Marshall Coleman knows it's time for action. He knows we've
got to go after drug dealers and drug users. And he knows it's
time to take the profit out of the drug business -- time to
confiscate the dealers' ill-gotten gains.
That's the no-nonsense, real world approach we need. And if
you need any more proof, just ask the folks out on the front line
4
in the war on crime and drugs. The Fraternal Order of Police has
given Marshall Coleman its vote of confidence -- and I think that
says it all. When it comes to fighting crime, Virginia can count
on Marshall Coleman.
Marshall is strong on the issues across the board. Take
the one issue that may well be the most important of any that
fall within a state's responsibilities: education. Marshall and
I have talked many times about the state of our schools today,
and I can tell you: he's as convinced as I am that there is no
other issue more vital to the future of this state, this nation,
and to the kind of lives our children will lead.
Marshall's got two fine boys of his own: Sean, down from
college, and Billy, who's a high school freshman. They're here
today, helping their Dad -- and let me tell you, they may be
young, but they're real veterans on the campaign trail.
Billy and Sean, your Dad knows what every parent with kids
in school today knows: it's time to move beyond the status quo.
We've got to recognize what works in our schools -- and reward
it. That's the idea behind Marshall's merit pay plan: better
pay for better teachers. We've got to increase accountability --
and that means expanding choice in our schools. Choice can
create an incentive for improvement that spurs a competition for
excellence in all our schools. When it comes to guaranteeing a
5
first-rate education for her children, Virginia can count on
Marshall Coleman.
And one thing more about Marshall -- good news for all
Virginians. Marshall Coleman draws the line against higher
taxes. The people of this state have endured five tax increases
in the past four years. I know Virginia -- and I know you can't
afford another four years of "open season" on the taxpayer.
Well, with Marshall Coleman in the statehouse, taxpayers
won't feel like there's a target painted on their backs.
Marshall comes with a four-year, easy-to-understand guarantee:
No new taxes. /// And he's gone one step further: when it
comes to vetoing any tax hike that lands on his desk, Virginia
can count on Marshall Coleman. 111
It's been a long hard campaign -- and in the end, every
campaign comes back to basics -- to the simple question every
voter asks himself: which candidate is right for the job?
The plain truth is this: Marshall Coleman is a man of
integrity -- and experience. A man who deeply loves this state.
He's right on the issues -- right for Virginia
11 Marshall
Coleman will be a Governor all of Virginia can count on.
6
And let me tell the people of this great capital city, when
Marshall Coleman becomes governor -- the man in the statehouse
here in Richmond is going to have a friend in the White House.
But right now, Marshall needs to know that he can count on
you. That he's got your support -- and come next Tuesday, that
you'll be there with your votes and your help to make him the
next governor of Virginia.
Only four short days remain in this campaign for the future
of this great state. Make them count for Marshall Coleman, for
Virginia, and for America.
Thank you. God bless you -- and God bless the great state
of Virginia.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: MARSHALL COLEMAN FUNDRAISER
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA
NOVEMBER 3, 1989
12:00 noon?
I'm happy to be here in Richmond, back in the beautiful
capital of the Old Dominion. /// [[ Thank you for such a warm
welcome this afternoon. It's just a pity I can't stick around
for Friday Cheers. ]] ///
[Introductory acknowlegements.] I want to thank all the
eminent Virginians who are here with me today. Congressman Tom
Bliley, who does such a fine job representing the 3rd District in
the U.S. House. Two outstanding members of the Virginia Senate
who are ready to step up to new positions of public trust: Joe
Benedetti -- running hard for Attorney General. Eddy Dalton --
Virginia's next Lieutenant Governor.
And finally, let's all say hello to Virginia's next
Governor: Marshall Coleman. ////
We're in the final four days -- the home stretch, and
Marshall's finishing strong. [[ And I don't blame the other
side if they've lost some of their focus lately. /// It's hard
2
to keep your eyes on the finish line when you're busy looking
over your shoulder. ]]
[[ Reggie Jackson was called "Mr. October" because he
always came through when the big game was on the line. Well, I
think you'll find that Marshall Coleman is "Mr. November." And
I'll tell all of you what I told Marshall just a few moments ago:
the only poll that counts is the one that happens on November
7.11
Four days from now, the people of this state are going to
decide who has a vision for Virginia in the 90s -- who can lead
the Old Dominion into a new decade full of new challenges.
My friends, that man is Marshall Coleman -- a man of
integrity. A man with the new ideas the Old Dominion needs to
reach its destiny.
We know what we can expect from Marshall's opponent, and his
party's way of doing things. I hear the same things up on
Capitol Hill that you do from Capitol Square -- and it's
beginning to sound like a broken record. Doesn't matter what it
is, every issue is an opportunity -- to raise your taxes.
3
Well, make no mistake: Marshall Coleman is one candidate
who doesn't confuse having a vision for the future with having a
sharp eye on your wallets. ///
Marshall knows the issues that matter to most Virginians.
Take the issue of law and order. Marshall's a veteran crime
fighter -- a former Attorney General who understands you can't
have safe streets and neighborhoods unless you're ready to make
life tough on criminals. That means tougher sentencing -- and an
end to early release and parole policies that put dangerous
criminals back on the street when they should stay where they
belong -- behind bars.
And Marshall Coleman is the right man to lead Virginia in
the battle against drug abuse. The war on drugs isn't a war of
words. Anyone can talk tough -- but talking tough doesn't keep
dealers off the street. It doesn't keep drugs out of the hands
of our children.
Marshall Coleman knows it's time for action. He knows we've
got to go after drug dealers and drug users. And he knows it's
time to take the profit out of the drug business -- time to
confiscate the dealers' ill-gotten gains.
That's the no-nonsense, real world approach we need. And if
you need any more proof, just ask the folks out on the front line
4
in the war on crime and drugs. The Fraternal Order of Police has
given Marshall Coleman its vote of confidence -- and I think that
says it all. When it comes to fighting crime, Virginia can count
on Marshall Coleman.
Marshall is strong on the issues across the board. Take
the one issue that may well be the most important of any that
fall within a state's responsibilities: education. Marshall and
I have talked many times about the state of our schools today,
and I can tell you: he's as convinced as I am that there is no
other issue more vital to the future of this state, this nation,
and to the kind of lives our children will lead.
Marshall's got two fine boys of his own: Sean, down from
college, and Billy, who's a high school freshman. They're here
today, helping their Dad -- and let me tell you, they may be
young, but they're real veterans on the campaign trail.
Billy and Sean, your Dad knows what every parent with kids
in school today knows: it's time to move beyond the status quo.
We've got to recognize what works in our schools -- and reward
it. That's the idea behind Marshall's merit pay plan: better
pay for better teachers. We've got to increase accountability --
and that means expanding choice in our schools. Choice can
create an incentive for improvement that spurs a competition for
excellence in all our schools. When it comes to guaranteeing a
5
first-rate education for her children, Virginia can count on
Marshall Coleman.
And one thing more about Marshall -- good news for all
Virginians. Marshall Coleman draws the line against higher
taxes. The people of this state have endured five tax increases
in the past four years. I know Virginia -- and I know you can't
afford another four years of "open season" on the taxpayer.
Well, with Marshall Coleman in the statehouse, taxpayers
won't feel like there's a target painted on their backs.
Marshall comes with a four-year, easy-to-understand guarantee:
No new taxes. /// And he's gone one step further: when it
comes to vetoing any tax hike that lands on his desk, Virginia
can count on Marshall Coleman. ///
It's been a long hard campaign -- and in the end, every
campaign comes back to basics -- to the simple question every
voter asks himself: which candidate is right for the job?
The plain truth is this: Marshall Coleman is a man of
integrity -- and experience. A man who deeply loves this state.
He's right on the issues -- right for Virginia
// Marshall
Coleman will be a Governor all of Virginia can count on.
6
And let me tell the people of this great capital city, when
Marshall Coleman becomes governor -- the man in the statehouse
here in Richmond is going to have a friend in the White House.
But right now, Marshall needs to know that he can count on
you. That he's got your support -- and come next Tuesday, that
you'll be there with your votes and your help to make him the
next governor of Virginia.
Only four short days remain in this campaign for the future
of this great state. Make them count for Marshall Coleman, for
Virginia, and for America.
Thank you. God bless you -- and God bless the great state
of Virginia.
