PRESIDENTIAL TALKING POINTS: NEW HAMPSHIRE
FEBRUARY 12, 1992
It's great to be back in New Hampshire -- a state for which
I have a special affection, and to which I owe a special
debt. Four years ago, we charted our course. Freedom was
our guiding light. Opportunity lifted our sails. Around
the world, freedom has found safe harbor. Tyranny defeated
in the Gulf. Democracy in Eastern Europe. And communism is
dead in the water.
I have said, and I'll repeat: If we can change the world, we
can change America. If the will is in our hearts, the power
is in our hands. I've laid out my proposals. Tax credits
for first-time homebuyers. An Investment Tax Allowance.
R&D expansion. A cut in the capital gains tax. Health care
reform. My proposals are sound and will work. The American
people have put out an S.O.S., and they want action A.S.A.P.
That's why I've set a deadline for action. March 20. \ 37
days away. The deadline is dead serious -- if Congress
doubts it, they're dead wrong. Some say: the deadline is
unfair. Some say: the deadline is unreasonable. I say: the
deadline is March 20.
We've all heard the saying "Take a Bite out of Crime."
Congress went one further -- it took a bite out of my crime
bill. I want habeus corpus reform. I want a federal death
penalty. I want exclusionary rule reform. I want mandatory
sentencing. I want a kinder and gentler America, not a
kinder and gentler crime bill.
I thank you for supporting me in 1988. You agree with me:
we must reject those who soft-pedal the need to be hard on
crime.
