PINKERTON ACADEMY
FEBRUARY 15, 1992
7:00 P.M.
THANK YOU, GOVERNOR. IT'S GOOD TO SEE KATHY GREGG;
GOV. JOHN SUNUNU; GOV. JOCK MC KERNAN [MAINE] AND WIFE
CONGRESSWOMAN OLYMPIA SNOWE; GOV. BILL WELD; LT. GOV.
PAUL CELLUCCI; SENATOR WARREN RUDMAN; CONGRESSMAN BILL
ZELIFF; MAYOR JACK DOWD [MAYOR OF DERRY]; CONG. RALPH
REGULA OF OHIO; CONG. DAVID HOBSON OF OHIO; AND CONG.
DICK SCHULZE OF PENNSYLVANIA. // HATS OFF TO THE
PARENTS, STUDENTS AND STAFF OF PINKERTON ACADEMY FOR
OPENING THE GYM FOR TONIGHT'S EVENT. THANKS TO THE
SHAW BROTHERS FOR SENDING A LITTLE MUSIC OUR WAY. //
AND OF COURSE, MY THANKS TO ARNOLD. [[ARNOLD'S WORKING
ON A NEW FILM ABOUT CONGRESS: HE CALLS IT THE
PROCRASTINATOR. // BUT YOU KNOW, I MAY JUST TAKE A
TIP FROM THE KINDERGARTEN COP. WHEN CONGRESS DOESN'T
BEHAVE -- TAKE AWAY THEIR RECESS. ]]
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR COMING FROM THE FOUR
CORNERS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE TO DERRY ON THIS SATURDAY
NIGHT. WE'VE COME HERE FOR ONE REASON: TOGETHER,
WE'RE GOING TO MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.
- 2 -
FROM THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL TO THE LAST GASP
OF IMPERIAL COMMUNISM -- FROM THE FOUR DECADES OF THE
COLD WAR TO THE FORTY DAYS OF DESERT STORM -- AMERICA
HAS LED THE WAY. AMERICA HAS CHANGED THE WORLD. //
NOW THE CHANGE -- AND THE CHALLENGE -- HAS COME
HOME. TIME AFTER TIME, WE'VE LIFTED OURSELVES UP.
TIME AFTER TIME, WE'VE ASKED MORE OF OURSELVES -- MORE
OF EACH OTHER.
EACH TIME, AMERICA MET THE CHALLENGE.
THIS TIME, AMERICA WILL DO IT AGAIN. //
NEXT TUESDAY, NEW HAMPSHIRE MAKES ITS CHOICE. YOU
TAKE PART IN THIS STATE'S PROUD TRADITION AS FIRST IN
THE NATION. YOU KNOW THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS. YOU
UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR VOTE. YOU GO TO THE
POLLS -- NOT TO SEND A SIGNAL. NOT TO REGISTER A
PROTEST. YOU GO TO THE POLLS TO PICK A PRESIDENT.
- 3 -
so IF NEW HAMPSHIRE'S LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO LEAD
THE WAY, LOOK NO FURTHER. I'VE SET THE MISSION. I'VE
LAID OUT THE PLAN. AND I WON'T REST -- UNTIL THE JOB
IS DONE. //
THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IN THIS ELECTION IS THE
ECONOMY. COUNT ON THIS: I WILL FIGHT TO GET THIS
ECONOMY MOVING AGAIN -- TO GET NEW HAMPSHIRE BACK ON
THE ROAD TO RECOVERY.
THREE WEEKS AGO I LAID OUT MY PLAN, TO NEW
HAMPSHIRE AND THE NATION. MY PLAN BOOSTS INVESTMENT -
- CREATES NEW JOBS. IT WILL HELP RESTORE THE VALUE OF
REAL ESTATE -- AND IT WILL TAKE AN AXE TO WASTEFUL
GOVERNMENT SPENDING.
BUT THERE'S ONE THING MY PLAN DOESN'T DO: IT WON'T
RAISE TAXES FOR AMERICAN FAMILIES.
- 4 -
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK: MY PLAN IS JUST WHAT THE
ECONOMY ORDERED. BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO ME AND THE
OTHER CANDIDATES, HERE'S THE ONLY DIFFERENCE THAT
COUNTS: I HAVE A PLAN -- AND THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE.
EVERYONE KNOWS WE'VE GOT TO WORK FAST TO GET THE
ECONOMY UP ON ITS FEET. BUT LISTEN TO THE OTHER SIDE:
THEY'RE PUSHING PROTECTIONISM -- ESCAPE FROM ECONOMIC
REALITY. THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING TO PLAY DEFENSE.
THEY'RE GOING TO FIGHT BACK. / SOUNDS TOUGH -- UNTIL
YOU THINK ABOUT IT. IT'S NOT THE SCHOOL-YARD BULLY --
IT'S THE BOY WHO WANTS TO TAKE HIS BALL AND GO HOME.
WELL, AMERICA'S NOT THAT KIND OF COUNTRY. OUR
NATIONAL SYMBOL ISN'T THE OSTRICH -- IT'S THE EAGLE.
///
- 5 -
NEVER IN THIS NATION'S LONG HISTORY HAS AMERICA
TURNED ITS BACK ON A CHALLENGE -- AND WE WON'T START
NOW. WE DON'T CUT AND RUN -- WE COMPETE. TO SUCCEED
ECONOMICALLY AT HOME -- YOU'VE GOT TO LEAD ECONOMICALLY
ABROAD. THE WORLD MUST KNOW: AMERICA IS IN IT TO WIN.
YOU SEE: I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN WORKER. /
LET'S NOT BUILD WALLS. LET'S OPEN MARKETS -- HELP OUR
WORKERS GO HEAD-TO-HEAD. WHEN THEY DO, THE WORLD WILL
SEE: THE AMERICAN WORKER CAN OUT-THINK, OUT-PRODUCE
AND OUT-PERFORM THE COMPETITION -- ANYWHERE, / ANYTIME.
11
I ASK THE PEOPLE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE TO REMEMBER:
CHANGE BRINGS NEW CHALLENGES. BUT CHARACTER ENDURES.
- 6 -
YES, TIMES HAVE CHANGED -- BUT THIS YEAR IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE YOU STILL HEAR THE SAME OLD SONG. THE LEAVES
TURN, THE SNOW FALLS -- THE CANDIDATES COME. THEY
DESCEND ON YOUR COMMUNITIES -- KNOCK ON YOUR DOORS,
SHAKE HANDS, SHARE A CUP OF COFFEE -- AND THEY TELL YOU
WHAT THEY THINK YOU WANT TO HEAR.
WELL NEIGHBOR TO NEIGHBOR, LET ME SAY: THEY CAN
WALK FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY ALL THE WAY TO NASHUA --
BUT THEY STILL CAN'T GET IT RIGHT.
WHATEVER THE QUESTION, WHATEVER THE PROBLEM,
THEY'VE GOT ONE ANSWER: MORE GOVERNMENT. // THEY
SAY: LET THE GOVERNMENT TELL YOU WHERE YOU CAN SEND
YOUR KIDS TO SCHOOL. LET THE GOVERNMENT RUN DAY-CARE.
LET THE GOVERNMENT TELL YOU WHEN THE DOCTOR IS IN.
OH YES, AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT: LET THE GOVERNMENT
TAKE A LITTLE MORE IN TAXES.
- 7 -
WHEN YOU'RE WORKING HARD, WORRYING ABOUT HOW TO
KEEP YOUR JOB -- THEY'VE GOT NO ANSWER. BUT LOSE YOUR
PAYCHECK -- WELL, THEN THEY'RE READY: THEY'LL GIVE YOU
A GOVERNMENT CHECK. //
BUT FOR ALL THE TIME THEY'VE SPENT, I DON'T SEE
THAT MESSAGE GETTING ANYWHERE. NOT HERE -- NOT IN NEW
HAMPSHIRE. WHEN THEY SAY GOVERNMENT-KNOWS-BEST -- I
SAY: NEW HAMPSHIRE KNOWS BETTER.
NEW HAMPSHIRE HAS IT RIGHT: LIMIT GOVERNMENT --
NOT FREEDOM. // THAT'S THE PRINCIPLE -- AND HERE'S
THE FIRST RULE OF REFORM: EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN ONE SENTENCE:
GOVERNMENT'S TOO BIG -- AND IT SPENDS TOO MUCH. //
I WILL FIGHT FOR A REVOLUTION IN AMERICAN EDUCATION
-- AND I WILL FIGHT AGAINST THE STATUS QUO THAT WANTS
TO SINK MORE MONEY INTO SCHOOLS THAT JUST DON'T WORK.
I SAY: PUT CHILDREN FIRST -- GIVE PARENTS SCHOOL
CHOICE.
- 8 -
I WILL FIGHT FOR CHOICE IN CHILD CARE -- AND I WILL
FIGHT AGAINST ANY PLAN THAT WAREHOUSES OUR KIDS IN SOME
BRAVE NEW CHILD CARE BUREAUCRACY. PUT PARENTS FIRST -
- PRESERVE THE VALUES CLOSEST TO HOME.
I WILL FIGHT FOR HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS --
AND I WILL FIGHT AGAINST ANY SCHEME THAT PUTS
GOVERNMENT BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DOCTOR. NATIONAL
HEALTH CARE WOULD BE A NATIONAL DISASTER. I WILL NOT
GIVE THE LAST RITES TO THE BEST-QUALITY HEALTH CARE
SYSTEM IN THE WORLD.
I WILL FIGHT FOR THE FAMILY AGAINST THE FORCES THAT
MAKE IT WEAK. BECAUSE WHEN THE FAMILY COMES FIRST --
AMERICA IS FIRST.
- 9 -
IT ALL COMES DOWN TO NEXT TUESDAY. DON'T LET
ANYONE TELL YOU IT DOESN'T MATTER. BECAUSE YOU DON'T
JUST CHOOSE A CANDIDATE -- YOU CHOOSE A FUTURE, SET THE
COURSE THIS COUNTRY WILL FOLLOW FOR THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS. HERE'S WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THIS COUNTRY'S FUTURE:
NO MATTER HOW TOUGH TIMES ARE NOW -- AMERICA'S BEST DAY
ALWAYS LIES AHEAD. / I BELIEVE THAT NOW. I'LL
BELIEVE IT EVERY DAY I LIVE -- BECAUSE THAT'S THE GREAT
GLORY OF AMERICA. //
I FELT IT TODAY, FROM NASHUA TO NEW BOSTON AND EACH
STOP IN BETWEEN. THE PEOPLE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE -- LIKE
CITIZENS ALL ACROSS THIS COUNTRY -- ARE READY TO MOVE
AHEAD, READY TO MOVE FORWARD TO MEET A NEW AMERICAN
DESTINY.
EVERYONE SEES THE NEED FOR CHANGE. EVERYONE FEELS
THE EXCITEMENT. EVERYONE IS IMPATIENT TO BEGIN. //
EVERYONE, THAT IS -- EXCEPT THE GANG THAT CONTROLS THE
CONGRESS. //
- 10 -
NEARLY THREE YEARS AGO, I CALLED ON THE DEMOCRATS
WHO CONTROL CONGRESS TO PASS A NO-NONSENSE CRIME BILL.
THREE YEARS, AND NO ACTION. ALMOST THREE YEARS AGO, I
ASKED CONGRESS TO JOIN THE REVOLUTION IN EDUCATION.
THREE YEARS -- NO ACTION. THREE TIMES IN THREE YEARS,
I SENT A GROWTH PACKAGE TO CAPITOL HILL. THREE TIMES
IT'S GONE UP -- AND THREE TIMES IT'S GONE NOWHERE.
AND THEN CONGRESS COMPLAINS THAT NOTHING GETS DONE.
SO YOU WON'T BE SURPRISED TO HEAR WHAT'S HAPPENING
TO MY ACTION PLAN -- MY SEVEN-POINT PACKAGE TO
STIMULATE ECONOMIC GROWTH. ON WEDNESDAY, THE DEMOCRATS
WHO CONTROL THE WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE PULLED A BACK-
ROOM STUNT -- AND MADE MY PLAN DISAPPEAR.
[[THANK GOODNESS I KEPT A COPY.1] [ [HOLD UP PLAN]]
I'M A PATIENT MAN. I KNOW CONGRESS CAN'T PASS MY
PLAN OVERNIGHT.
THAT'S WHY I GAVE THEM 52 DAYS.
11
- 11 -
I KNOW THEY SAY: THE DEADLINE IS ARBITRARY.
THEY SAY: THE DEADLINE IS TOO EARLY.
THEY SAY: THE DEADLINE IS UNFAIR. //
YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY.
THE DEADLINE IS MARCH 20. ///
I CHALLENGE THE LIBERAL LEADERSHIP: DON'T BURY MY
PLAN IN SOME SUB-COMMITTEE / DON'T DECLARE IT D.O.A. /
DON'T RESORT TO PARLIAMENTARY TRICKS TO MAKE MY PLAN
VANISH WITHOUT A TRACE. // I SAY TO THE LEADERS WHO
CONTROL THE CONGRESS: BRING MY PLAN TO THE FLOOR. PUT
MY PLAN TO A VOTE. PASS MY PLAN -- AND GET THIS
ECONOMY MOVING AGAIN. //
- 12 -
BUT YOU KNOW, I CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOUR HELP. so
I ASK ALL OF YOU -- ALL YOUR NEIGHBORS ACROSS NEW
HAMPSHIRE: SEND A MESSAGE TO THE CONGRESS. TELL THEM
AMERICA IS READY TO MOVE. TELL THEM THE TIME HAS COME
TO ACT. //
AND NEXT TUESDAY, SEND THIS PRESIDENT BACK TO
WASHINGTON FOR FOUR MORE YEARS. //
THANK YOU, NEW HAMPSHIRE, FOR YOUR TRUST AND
SUPPORT. AND GOD BLESS THIS GREAT LAND WE SHARE -- THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: PINKERTON ACADEMY
FEBRUARY 15, 1992
7:00 P.M.
Thank you, Governor. // Hats off to the parents, students
and staff of Pinkerton Academy for opening the gym for tonight's
event. Thanks to Restless Heart for sending a little music our
way. [[It's great to hear some Country & Western. It's so much
better than listening to the Democrats sing the Blues. ]]
And of course, my thanks to Arnold. [[Arnold's working on a
new film about Congress: He calls it The Procrastinator. //
But you know, I may just take a tip from the Kindergarten Cop.
When Congress doesn't behave -- take away their recess. ]]
Thanks to all of you for coming from the four corners of New
Hampshire to Derry on this Saturday night. We've come here for
one reason: together, we're going to make things happen.
From the fall of the Berlin Wall to the last gasp of
Imperial Communism -- from the four decades of the Cold War to
the forty days of Desert Storm -- America has led the way.
America has changed the world. //
Now the change -- and the challenge -- has come home. Time
after time, we've lifted ourselves up. Time after time, we've
asked more of ourselves -- more of each other.
Each time, America met the challenge.
This time, America will do it again. //
Next Tuesday, New Hampshire makes its choice. You take part
in this state's proud tradition as first in the nation. You know
2
this is serious business. You understand the importance of your
vote. You go to the polls -- not to send a signal. Not to
register a protest. You go to the polls to pick a President.
So if New Hampshire's looking for someone to lead the way,
look no further. I've set the mission. I've laid out the plan.
And I won't rest -- until the job is done. //
The first order of business in this election is the economy.
Count on this: I will fight to get this economy moving again --
to get New Hampshire back on the road to recovery.
Three weeks ago I laid out my plan, to New Hampshire and the
nation. My plan boosts investment -- creates new jobs. It will
help restore the value of real estate -- and it will take an axe
to wasteful government spending.
But there's one thing my plan doesn't do: it won't raise
taxes for American families.
You know what I think: My plan is just what the economy
ordered. But when it comes down to me and the other candidates,
here's the only difference that counts: I have a plan -- and
they don't have a clue.
Everyone knows we've got to work fast to get the economy up
on its feet. But listen to the other side: they're pushing
protectionism -- escape from economic reality. They say they're
going to play defense. They're going to fight back. / Sounds
tough -- until you think about it. It's not the school-yard
bully -- it's the boy who wants to take his ball and go home.
3
Well, America's not that kind of country. Our national
symbol isn't the ostrich -- it's the eagle. ///
Never in this nation's long history has America turned its
back on a challenge -- and we won't start now. We don't cut and
run --- we compete. To succeed economically at home -- you've got
to lead economically abroad. The world must know: America is in
it to win.
You see: I believe in the American worker. / Let's not
build walls. Let's open markets -- help our workers go head-to-
head. When they do, the world will see: The American worker can
out-think, out-produce and out-perform the competition --
anywhere, / anytime. //
I ask the people of New Hampshire to remember: change
brings new challenges. But character endures.
Yes, times have changed -- but this year in New Hampshire
you still hear the same old song. The leaves turn, the snow
falls -- the candidates come. They descend on your communities -
- knock on your doors, shake hands, share a cup of coffee -- and
they tell you what they think you want to hear.
Well neighbor to neighbor, let me say: They can walk I-93
from the North Country all the way to Nashua -- but they still
can't get it right.
Whatever the question, whatever the problem, they've got one
answer: more government. // They say: Let the government tell
you where you can send your kids to school. Let the government
run day-care. Let the government tell you when the doctor is in.
4
Oh yes, and while you're at it: let the government take a
little more in taxes.
When you're working hard, worrying about how to keep your
job -- they've got no answer. But lose your paycheck -- well,
then they're ready: they'll give you a government check. //
But for all the time they've spent, I don't see that message
getting anywhere. Not here -- not in New Hampshire. When they
say government-knows-best -- I say: New Hampshire knows better.
New Hampshire has it right: limit government -- not
freedom. // That's the principle -- and here's the first rule
of reform: everything you need to know about the federal
government in one sentence: Government's too big -- and it
spends too much. //
I will fight for a revolution in American education -- and I
will fight against the status quo that wants to sink more money
into schools that just don't work. I say: Put children first -
- give parents school choice.
I will fight for choice in child care -- and I will fight
against any plan that warehouses our kids in some brave new child
care bureaucracy. Put parents first -- preserve the values
closest to home.
I will fight for health care for all Americans -- and I will
fight against any scheme that puts government between you and
your doctor. National health care would be a national disaster.
I will not give the last rites to the best-quality health care
system in the world.
5
I will fight for the family against the forces that make it
weak. Because when the family comes first -- America is first.
It all comes down to next Tuesday. Don't let anyone tell
you it doesn't matter. Because you don't just choose a candidate
-- you choose a future, set the course this country will follow
for the next five years. Here's what I know about this country's
future: No matter how tough times are now -- America's best day
always lies ahead. / I believe that now. I'll believe it every
day I live -- because that's the great glory of America. //
I felt it today, from Nashua to New Boston and each stop in
between. The people of New Hampshire -- like citizens all across
this country -- are ready to move ahead, ready to move forward to
meet a new American destiny.
Everyone sees the need for change. Everyone feels the
excitement. Everyone is impatient to begin. // Everyone, that
is -- except the gang that controls the Congress. //
Nearly three years ago, I called on the Democrats who
control Congress to pass a no-nonsense crime bill. Three years,
and no action. Almost three years ago, I asked Congress to join
the revolution in education. Three years -- no action. Three
times in three years, I sent a growth package to Capitol Hill.
Three times it's gone up -- and three times it's gone nowhere.
And then Congress complains that nothing gets done.
So you won't be surprised to hear what's happening to my
action plan -- my seven-point package to stimulate economic
growth. On Wednesday, the Democrats who control the Ways and
6
Means Committee pulled a back-room stunt -- and made my plan
disappear.
[ [Thank goodness I kept a copy.]] [[HOLD UP PLAN]]
I'm a patient man. I know Congress can't pass my plan
overnight.
That's why I gave them 52 days. //
I know they say: The deadline is arbitrary.
They say: The deadline is too early.
They say: The deadline is unfair. //
You know what I say.
The deadline is March 20. ///
I challenge the liberal leadership: Don't bury my plan in
some sub-committee / don't declare it D.O.A. / don't resort to
parliamentary tricks to make my plan vanish without a trace. //
I say to the leaders who control the Congress: bring my plan to
the floor. Put my plan to a vote. Pass my plan -- and get this
economy moving again. //
But you know, I can't do it without your help. So I ask all
of you -- all your neighbors across New Hampshire: Send a
message to the Congress. Tell them America is ready to move.
Tell them the time has come to act. //
And next Tuesday, send this President back to Washington for
four more years. //
Thank you, New Hampshire, for your trust and support. And
God bless this great land we share -- the United States of
America.

Means Committee pulled a back-room stunt -- and made my plan
disappear.
[[Thank goodness I kept a copy.]] [[HOLD UP PLAN]]
I'm a patient man. I know Congress can't pass my plan
overnight.
That's why I gave them 52 days. //
I know they say: The deadline is arbitrary.
They say: The deadline is too early.
They say: The deadline is unfair. //
You know what I say.
The deadline is March 20. ///
I challenge the liberal leadership: Don't bury my plan in
some sub-committee / don't declare it D.O.A. / don't resort to
parliamentary tricks to make my plan vanish without a trace. //
I say to the leaders who control the Congress: bring my plan to
the floor. Put my plan to a vote. Pass my plan -- and get this
economy moving again. //
But you know, I can't do it without your help. So I ask all
of you -- all your neighbors across New Hampshire: Send a
message to the Congress. Tell them America is ready to move.
Tell them the time has come to act. //
And next Tuesday, send this President back to Washington for
four more years. //
Thank you, New Hampshire, for your trust and support. And
God bless this great land we share -- the United States of
America.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: PINKERTON ACADEMY
DERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE
FEBRUARY 15, 1992
7:00 P.M.
[Introductory acknowledgements.] Governor Gregg. // Hats
off to the parents, students and staff of Pinkerton Academy for
opening the gym for tonight's event. Thanks to Restless Heart
for sending a little music our way. [[ It's great to hear some
Country & Western. It's so much better than listening to the
Democrats sing the Blues. ]]
And of course, my thanks to my good friend Arnold.
[[Arnold's working on a new film about Congress: He calls it The
Procrastinator. / But you know, I may just take a tip from the
Kindergarten Cop. When Congress doesn't behave -- take away
their recess. ]]
I thank all of you for coming from the four corners of New
Hampshire to Derry on this Saturday night. You're here for the
same reason I'm here -- together, we're going to make things
happen.
And if anyone can, we can. From the fall of the Berlin Wall
to the last gasp of Imperial Communism -- from the four decades
of the Cold War to the forty days of Desert Storm -- America has
led the way. America has changed the world. //
Now the change -- and the challenge -- have come home. Time
after time, we lifted ourselves up. Time after time, we asked
more of ourselves -- more of each other.
2
Each time, America met the challenge.
This time, America will do it again. //
So if New Hampshire's looking for someone to lead the way,
look my way. I've set the mission. I've laid out the plan. And
I won't rest -- until the job is done. //
Next Tuesday, New Hampshire makes its choice. You take part
in this state's proud tradition as first in the nation. You know
this is serious business. You understand the importance of your
vote. You go to the polls -- not to send a signal. Not to
register a protest. You go to the polls to pick a President.
The first order of business in this election is the economy.
Count on this: I will fight to get this economy moving again --
to get New Hampshire back on the road to recovery.
Three weeks ago I laid out my plan, to New Hampshire and the
I
nation. My plan cuts taxes for American families. It boosts
investment -- creates new jobs. It will help restore the value
of real estate -- and it will take an axe to wasteful government
spending.
You know what I think: My plan is just what the economy
ordered. But when it comes down to me and the other candidates,
here's the only difference that counts: I have a plan -- and
they don't have a clue.
Everyone knows we've got to work fast to get the economy up
on its feet. But listen to the other side: they're pushing
protectionism -- escape from economic reality. They say they're
going to play defense. They're going to fight back. / Sounds
3
tough -- until you think about it. It's not the school-yard
bully -- it's the boy who wants to take his ball and go home.
Well, America's not that kind of country.
We're not a nation that locks the doors, pulls down the
shades and tells the world to go away. / Our national symbol
isn't the ostrich -- it's the eagle. ///
Never in this nation's long history has America turned its
back on a challenge -- and we won't start now. We don't cut and
run -- we compete AND WIN. (Peters)
To succeed economically at home -- you've got to lead
economically abroad. And the world must know: America is in it
to win.
You see: I believe in the American worker. / Let's not
build walls. Let's open markets -- help our workers go head-to-
head. When they do, the world will see: The American worker can
out-think, out-produce and out-perform the competition --
anywhere, / anytime. //
I ask the people of New Hampshire to remember: change
brings new challenges. But character endures.
Yes, times have changed -- but this year in New Hampshire
you still hear the same old song. The leaves turn, the snow
falls -- the candidates come. They descend on your communities -
- knock on your doors, shake hands, share a cup of coffee -- and
they tell you what they think you want to hear.
4
Well neighbor to neighbor, let me say: They can walk I-93
from the North Country all the way to Nashua -- but they still
can't get it right.
Whatever the question, whatever the problem, they've got one
answer: more government. // They say: Let the government tell
you where you can send your kids to school. Let the government
run day-care. Let the government tell you when the doctor is in.
Oh yes, and while you're at it: let the government take a
little more in taxes.
When you're working hard, worrying about how to keep your
job -- they've got no answer. But lose your paycheck -- well,
then they're ready: they'll give you a government check. //
But for all the time they've spent, I don't see that message
getting anywhere. Not here -- not in New Hampshire. When they
say government-knows-best -- I say: New Hampshire knows better.
New Hampshire has it right: limit government -- not
freedom.
That's the principle -- and here's the first rule of reform:
everything you need to know about the federal government in one
sentence: Government's too big -- and it spends too much. //
I will fight for welfare reform -- and I will fight against
Why
the system that provides for the body but saps the soul. We must
with LeAD with
tie welfare to the work ethic -- and revive a sense of
Make
responsibility. //

(Petad
I will fight for choice in child care -- and I will fight
against any plan that warehouses our kids in some brave new child
care bureaucracy. Put parents first -- preserve the values

(Peterson)
I will fight for health care for all Americans -- and I will
fight against any scheme that puts government between you and
your doctor. National health care would be a national disaster.
I will not give the last rites to the best-quality health care
system in the world.
I will fight for the family -- against the forces that make
it weak. Because when the family comes first -- America is
first. //
It all comes down to next Tuesday. Don't let anyone tell
you it doesn't matter. Because you don't just choose a candidate
-- you choose a future, set the course this country will follow
for the next five years. Here's what I know about this country's
future: No matter how tough times are now -- America's best day
always lies ahead. / I believe that now. I'll believe it every
day I live -- because that's the great glory of America. //
I felt it today, from Nashua to New Boston and each stop in
between. The people of New Hampshire -- like citizens all across
this country -- are ready to move ahead, ready to move forward to
meet a new American destiny.
6
Everyone sees the need for change. Everyone feels the
excitement. Everyone is impatient to begin. //
Everyone, that is -- except the Congress.
//
Nearly three years ago, I called on Congress to pass a no-
nonsense crime bill. Three years, and no action. Almost three
years ago, I asked Congress to join the revolution in education.
Three years -- no action. Three times in three years, I sent
Congress a growth package. Three times it's gone up -- and three
times it's gone nowhere.
And then Congress complains that nothing gets done.
It's been more than two weeks now since I sent up my action
plan -- my seven-point package to stimulate economic growth. Two
weeks -- and where's Congress? Well, I say: Ring the bell:
Recess is over.
[[Now, I know Congress can't do it overnight.
That's why I gave them 52 days. //]]
But they say: The deadline is arbitrary.
They say: The deadline is too early.
They say: The deadline is unfair. //
You know what I say.
The deadline is March 20. ///
I challenge the Congress: Don't bury my plan in some sub-
committee / don't declare it D.O.A. / don't resort to

I say to the leaders who control the Congress: bring my plan to
7
the floor. Put my plan to a vote. Pass my plan -- and get this
economy moving again. //
But you know, I can't do it without your help. So I ask all
of you -- all your neighbors across New Hampshire: Send a
message to the Congress. Tell them America is ready to move.
Tell them the time has come to act. //
Thank you, New Hampshire, for your trust and support. And
God bless this great land we share -- the United States of
America.

I thank all of you for coming from the four corners of New

It all comes down to next Tuesday. Don't let anyone tell
you it doesn't matter. Because you don't just choose a candidate
-- you choose a future, set the course this country will follow
for the next five years. Here's what I know about this country's
future: No matter how tough times are now -- America's best day
always lies ahead. / I believe that now. I'll believe it every
day I live -- because that's the great glory of America. //
I felt it today, from Nashua to New Boston and each stop in
between. The people of New Hampshire -- like citizens all across
this country -- are ready to move ahead, ready to move forward to
meet a new American destiny.
6
Everyone sees the need for change. Everyone feels the
excitement. Everyone is impatient to begin. //
Everyone, that is -- except the Congress. //
Nearly three years ago, I called on Congress to pass a no-
nonsense crime bill. Three years, and no action. Almost three
years ago, I asked Congress to join the revolution in education.
Three years -- no action. Three times in three years, I sent
Congress a growth package. Three times it's gone up -- and three
times it's gone nowhere.
And then Congress complains that nothing gets done.
It's been more than two weeks now since I sent up my action
plan -- my seven-point package to stimulate economic growth. Two
weeks -- and where's Congress? Well, I say: Ring the bell:
Recess is over.
[[Now, I know Congress can't do it overnight.
That's why I gave them 52 days. //]]
But they say: The deadline is arbitrary.
They say: The deadline is too early.
They say: The deadline is unfair. //
You know what I say.
The deadline is March 20. ///
I challenge the Congress: Don't bury my plan in some sub-
committee / don't declare it D.O.A. / don't resort to
parliamentary tricks to make my plan vanish without a trace. //
I say to the leaders who control the Congress: bring my plan to
7
the floor. Put my plan to a vote. Pass my plan -- and get this
economy moving again. //
But you know, I can't do it without your help. So I ask all
of you -- all your neighbors across New Hampshire: Send a
message to the Congress. Tell them America is ready to move.
Tell them the time has come to act. //
Thank you, New Hampshire, for your trust and support. And
God bless this great land we share -- the United States of
America.

PRESIDENTIAL REMARKS: PINKERTON ACADEMY
DERRY, NEW HAMPSHIRE
FEBRUARY 15, 1992
7:00 P.M.
[Introductory acknowledgements.] Governor Gregg. // Hats
off to the parents, students and staff of Pinkerton Academy for
opening the gym for tonight's event. Thanks to Restless Heart
for sending a little music our way. [[ It's great to hear some
Country & Western. It's so much better than listening to the
Democrats sing the Blues. ]]
And of course, my thanks to my good friend Arnold.
[[Arnold's working on a new film about Congress: He calls it The
Procrastinator. / But you know, I may just take a tip from the
Kindergarten Cop. When Congress doesn't behave -- take away
their recess. ]]
I thank all of you for coming from the four corners of New
Hampshire to Derry on this Saturday night. You're here for the
same reason I'm here -- together, we're going to make things
happen.
And if anyone can, we can. From the fall of the Berlin Wall
to the last gasp of Imperial Communism -- from the four decades
of the Cold War to the forty days of Desert Storm -- America has
led the way. America has changed the world. //
Now the change -- and the challenge -- have come home. Time
after time, we lifted ourselves up. Time after time, we asked
more of ourselves -- more of each other.
2
Each time, America met the challenge.
This time, America will do it again. //
So if New Hampshire's looking for someone to lead the way,
look my way. I've set the mission. I've laid out the plan. And
I won't rest -- until the job is done. //
Next Tuesday, New Hampshire makes its choice. You take part
in this state's proud tradition as first in the nation. You know
this is serious business. You understand the importance of your
vote. You go to the polls -- not to send a signal. Not to
register a protest. You go to the polls to pick a President.
The first order of business in this election is the economy.
Count on this: I will fight to get this economy moving again ---
to get New Hampshire back on the road to recovery.
Three weeks ago I laid out my plan, to New Hampshire and the
nation. My plan cuts taxes for American families. It boosts
investment -- creates new jobs. It will help restore the value
of real estate -- and it will take an axe to wasteful government
spending.
You know what I think: My plan is just what the economy
ordered. But when it comes down to me and the other candidates,
here's the only difference that counts: I have a plan -- and
they don't have a clue.
Everyone knows we've got to work fast to get the economy up
on its feet. But listen to the other side: they're pushing
protectionism -- escape from economic reality. They say they're
going to play defense. They're going to fight back. / Sounds
3
tough --- until you think about it. It's not the school-yard
bully -- it's the boy who wants to take his ball and go home.
Well, America's not that kind of country.
We're not a nation that locks the doors, pulls down the
shades and tells the world to go away. / Our national symbol
isn't the ostrich -- it's the eagle. ///
Never in this nation's long history has America turned its
back on a challenge -- and we won't start now. We don't cut and
run -- we compete.
To succeed economically at home -- you've got to lead
economically abroad. And the world must know: America is in it
to win.
You see: I believe in the American worker. / Let's not
build walls. Let's open markets -- help our workers go head-to-
head. When they do, the world will see: The American worker can
out-think, out-produce and out-perform the competition --
anywhere, / anytime. //
I ask the people of New Hampshire to remember: change
brings new challenges. But character endures.
Yes, times have changed -- but this year in New Hampshire
you still hear the same old song. The leaves turn, the snow
falls -- the candidates come. They descend on your communities -
- knock on your doors, shake hands, share a cup of coffee -- and
they tell you what they think you want to hear.
4
Well neighbor to neighbor, let me say: They can walk I-93
from the North Country all the way to Nashua -- but they still
can't get it right.
Whatever the question, whatever the problem, they've got one
answer: more government. // They say: Let the government tell
you where you can send your kids to school. Let the government
run day-care. Let the government tell you when the doctor is in.
Oh yes, and while you're at it: let the government take a
little more in taxes.
When you're working hard, worrying about how to keep your
job -- they've got no answer. But lose your paycheck -- well,
then they're ready: they'll give you a government check. //
But for all the time they've spent, I don't see that message
getting anywhere. Not here -- not in New Hampshire. When they
say government-knows-best -- I say: New Hampshire knows better.
New Hampshire has it right: limit government -- not
freedom.
That's the principle -- and here's the first rule of reform:
everything you need to know about the federal government in one
sentence: Government's too big -- and it spends too much. //
I will fight for welfare reform -- and I will fight against
the system that provides for the body but saps the soul. We must
tie welfare to the work ethic -- and revive a sense of
responsibility. //
I will fight for a revolution in American education -- and I
will fight against the status quo that wants to sink more money
5
into schools that just don't work. I say: Put children first -
- give parents continue school to choice. / scully 5178
I will fight for choice in child care -- and I will fight
against any plan that warehouses our kids in some brave new child
care bureaucracy. Put parents first -- preserve the values
closest to home. Not: To recogning child are Degislation is c, significant
I will fight for health care for all Americans -- and I will
achievement, not a goal THE / scully / 5178
fight against any scheme that puts government between you and
your doctor. National health care would be a national disaster.
I will not give the last rites to the best-quality health care
system in the world.
I will fight for the family -- against the forces that make
it weak. Because when the family comes first -- America is
first. //
It all comes down to next Tuesday. Don't let anyone tell
you it doesn't matter. Because you don't just choose a candidate
-- you choose a future, set the course this country will follow
for the next five years. Here's what I know about this country's

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR COMING FROM THE FOUR
CORNERS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE TO DERRY ON THIS SATURDAY
NIGHT. WE'VE COME HERE FOR ONE REASON: TOGETHER,
H
WE'RE GOING TO WIN AN ELECTION ON TUESDAY.
AND IN ABOUT NINE MONTHS, WITH YOUR HELP, WE'RE
A
GOING TO WIN AN ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.

WE'VE GOT MUCH TO BE PROUD OF -- MANY CHALLENGES
STILL AHEAD OF US. BUT THE REMARKABLE CHANGES OF THESE
LAST THREE YEARS HAVE SHOWN WITHOUT A DOUBT -- THE
*
UNITED STATES IS THE UNDISPUTED LEADER OF THE WORLD.
FROM THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL TO THE LAST GASP
OF IMPERIAL COMMUNISM -- FROM THE FOUR DECADES OF THE
COLD WAR TO THE FORTY DAYS OF DESERT STORM -- AMERICA
*
HAS LED THE WAY. AMERICA HAS CHANGED THE WORLD. //
NOW THE CHANGE - AND THE CHALLENGE, AS IT HAS
BEFORE -- HAS COME HOME. TIME AFTER TIME, WE'VE LIFTED
OURSELVES UP. TIME AFTER TIME, WE'VE ASKED MORE OF
OURSELVES - -- MORE OF EACH OTHER.
EACH TIME, AMERICA MET THE CHALLENGE.
*
THIS TIME, AMERICA WILL DO IT AGAIN. //
- 3 -
NEXT TUESDAY, NEW HAMPSHIRE MAKES ITS CHOICE. YOU
TAKE PART IN THIS STATE'S PROUD TRADITION AS FIRST IN
THE NATION. YOU KNOW THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS. YOU
UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR VOTE. YOU GO TO THE
POLLS -- NOT TO SEND A SIGNAL. NOT TO REGISTER A
*
PROTEST. YOU GO TO THE POLLS TO ELECT A PRESIDENT SP THE
writed States of America
THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IN OUR COUNTRY AND IN
THIS ELECTION IS THE ECONOMY. COUNT ON THIS: WE WILL
GET THIS ECONOMY MOVING AGAIN -- AND WE WILL GET NEW
#
HAMPSHIRE BACK ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY.
THREE WEEKS AGO I LAID OUT MY TWO-PART PLAN TO NEW
HAMPSHIRE AND THE NATION - -- SHORT-TERM TO JUMPSTART OUR
ECONOMY -- LONG-TERM TO KEEP US COMPETITIVE AND STRONG
INTO THE NEXT CENTURY. I WANT, AND THE COUNTRY NEEDS,
BOTH PARTS ENACTED BY THE CONGRESS THIS YEAR -- IT'S
A
JUST THAT IMPORTANT.
- 4 -
MY PLAN BOOSTS INVESTMENT -- GIVES INCENTIVES TO
BUSINESSES TO BUY EQUIPMENT, UPGRADE THEIR PLANTS, AND
HIRE MORE WORKERS. IT HELPS RESTORE THE VALUE OF REAL
ESTATE -- GETS THE HOUSING MARKET GOING AGAIN -- GIVES
A $5,000 TAX CREDIT TO FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS. AND OUR
PLAN TAKES AN AXE TO 246 GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS -- BECAUSE
*
GOVERNMENT IS TOO BIG AND SPENDS TOO MUCH.
BUT THERE'S ONE THING MY PLAN DOESN'T DO: IT WON'T
&
RAISE TAXES ON AMERICAN FAMILIES.
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK: MY PLAN IS JUST WHAT THE
ECONOMY ORDERED. BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO ME AND THE
OTHER CANDIDATES - -- FROM THE LEFT OR FROM THE RIGHT --
HERE'S THE ONLY DIFFERENCE THAT COUNTS: I HAVE A PLAN
A
-- AND THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE.
- 5 -
EVERYONE KNOWS WE'VE GOT TO WORK FAST TO GET THE
ECONOMY UP ON ITS FEET. BUT SOME ARE PUSHING
PROTECTIONISM ESCAPE FROM ECONOMIC REALITY. THEY
SAY THEY'RE GOING TO PLAY DEFENSE. THEY'RE GOING TO
FIGHT BACK. / SOUNDS TOUGH -- UNTIL YOU THINK ABOUT
IT. IT'S NOT THE SCHOOL-YARD BULLY -- IT'S THE BOY WHO
WANTS TO TAKE HIS BALL AND GO HOME.
WELL, AMERICA'S NOT THAT KIND OF COUNTRY. OUR
&
NATIONAL SYMBOL ISN'T THE OSTRICH IT'S THE EAGLE.
NEVER IN THIS NATION'S LONG HISTORY HAS AMERICA
TURNED ITS BACK ON A CHALLENGE. TO SUCCEED
ECONOMICALLY AT HOME - - YOU'VE GOT TO LEAD ECONOMICALLY
ABROAD. YOU SEE: I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN WORKER.
WE'LL GO HEAD TO HEAD WITH ANYONE. THE AMERICAN WORKER
CAN OUT-THINK, OUT-PRODUCE AND OUT-PERFORM THE
A
COMPETITION -- ANYWHERE, / ANYTIME.
THESE ARE THE THINGS NEXT TUESDAY IS ABOUT: THE
COURSE WE SET FOR OUR COUNTRY AND THE FUTURE WE BUILD
FOR OUR KIDS.

SURE, THIS IS A TOUGH RACE. BUT I'VE BEEN IN TOUGH
RACES BEFORE. AND YES, THE STAKES ARE HIGH -- NOT JUST
FOR ME, BUT FOR YOU AND OUR COUNTRY AS WELL. I KNOW
THE VOTERS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. YOU'VE BEEN SUBJECTED TO
A LOT OF THIS NEGATIVE CAMP AIGNING. YOU'VE SEEN THE
ADS -- THE KIND THAT TEAR PEOPLE DOWN -- AND I BELIEVE
TURN PEOPLE OFF. WELL, I'M CONFIDENT THAT
YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT THIS ELECTION ISN'T ABOUT WHO CAN TRASH
ANOTHER'S CANDIDACY IN A THIRTY SECOND SPOT.
EVEN
NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS HAVE BEEN TOLD SOME FLAT OUT
LIES ABOUT THE PLAN I SENT TO THE CONGRESS.
HERE'S THE BILL I SENT TO THE CONGRESS IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THE STATE OF THE UNION. IN IT ARE PROVISIONS FOR
AX
STUDENT LOAN DEDUCTIONS, AND PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY,
TAX RELIEF FOR AMERICA'S FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN.
IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE -- GIVES ME ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO
SAY TO THE CONGRESS -- PASS THIS PLAN, THE WHOLE PLAN.

NEXT TUESDAY MATTERS -- BECAUSE YOU DON'T JUST
CHOOSE A CANDIDATE -- YOU CHOOSE A FUTURE, SET THE
COURSE THIS COUNTRY WILL FOLLOW FOR THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS. HERE'S WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THIS COUNTRY'S FUTURE:
NO MATTER HOW TOUGH TIMES ARE NOW -- AMERICA'S BEST DAY

ALWAYS LIES AHEAD. / I BELIEVE THAT NOW. I'LL
BELIEVE IT EVERY DAY I LIVE -- BECAUSE THAT'S THE GREAT
*
GLORY OF AMERICA. //
I FELT IT TODAY, FROM NASHUA TO NEW BOSTON. THE
PEOPLE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE -- LIKE CITIZENS ALL ACROSS
THIS COUNTRY -- ARE READY TO MOVE AHEAD, READY TO MOVE
FORWARD TO MEET A NEW AMERICAN DESTINY.
EVERYONE SEES THE NEED FOR CHANGE. EVERYONE FEELS
THE EXCITEMENT. EVERYONE IS IMPATIENT TO BEGIN. //
EVERYONE, THAT IS -- EXCEPT THE CROWD THAT CONTROLS THE
CONGRESS. //
I

SO YOU WON'T BE SURPRISED TO HEAR WHAT'S HAPPENING
TO MY ACTION PLAN -- THE PART TO JUMPSTART THIS
ECONOMY. ON WEDNESDAY, THE DEMOCRATS WHO CONTROL THE
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE PULLED A BACK-ROOM STUNT --
AND TRIED TO MAKE MY PLAN DISAPPEAR.
THANK GOODNESS I KEPT A COPY.
I'M A PATIENT MAN. I KNOW CONGRESS CAN'T PASS MY

GOV. JOHN SUNUNU; GOV. JOCK MC KERNAN [MAINE] AND WIFE
CONGRESSWOMAN OLYMPIA SNOWE; GOV. BILL WELD; LT. GOV.
PAUL CELLUCCI; SENATOR WARREN RUDMAN; CONGRESSMAN BILL

FOR OPENING THE GYM FOR TONIGHT'S EVENT. THANKS TO THE
SHAW BROTHERS FOR SENDING A LITTLE MUSIC OUR WAY. //
AND OF COURSE, MY THANKS TO ARNOLD. [[ARNOLD'S WORKING
ON A NEW FILM ABOUT CONGRESS: HE CALLS IT THE
*
PROCRASTINATOR. // BUT YOU KNOW, I MAY JUST TAKE A
TIP FROM THE KINDERGARTEN COP. WHEN CONGRESS DOESN'T
BEHAVE -- TAKE AWAY THEIR RECESS. ]] AND let's get something
done for The country
THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR COMING FROM THE FOUR
CORNERS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE TO DERRY ON THIS SATURDAY
NIGHT. WE'VE COME HERE FOR ONE REASON: TOGETHER,
#
WE'RE GOING TO WIN AN ELECTION ON TUESDAY.
AND IN ABOUT NINE MONTHS, WITH YOUR HELP, WE'RE
A
GOING TO WIN AN ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.
- 2 -
WE'VE GOT MUCH TO BE PROUD OF -- MANY CHALLENGES
STILL AHEAD OF US. BUT THE REMARKABLE CHANGES OF THESE
LAST THREE YEARS HAVE SHOWN WITHOUT A DOUBT -- THE
*
UNITED STATES IS THE UNDISPUTED LEADER OF THE WORLD.
FROM THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL TO THE LAST GASP
OF IMPERIAL COMMUNISM -- FROM THE FOUR DECADES OF THE
COLD WAR TO THE FORTY DAYS OF DESERT STORM -- AMERICA
*
HAS LED THE WAY. AMERICA HAS CHANGED THE WORLD. //
NOW THE CHANGE - - -- AND THE CHALLENGE, AS IT HAS
BEFORE - -- HAS COME HOME. TIME AFTER TIME, WE'VE LIFTED
OURSELVES UP. TIME AFTER TIME, WE'VE ASKED MORE OF
OURSELVES - -- MORE OF EACH OTHER.
EACH TIME, AMERICA MET THE CHALLENGE.
*
THIS TIME, AMERICA WILL DO IT AGAIN. //
- 3 -
NEXT TUESDAY, NEW HAMPSHIRE MAKES ITS CHOICE. YOU
TAKE PART IN THIS STATE'S PROUD TRADITION AS FIRST IN
THE NATION. YOU KNOW THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS. YOU
UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF YOUR VOTE. YOU GO TO THE
POLLS -- NOT TO SEND A SIGNAL. NOT TO REGISTER A
A
PROTEST. YOU GO TO THE POLLS TO ELECT A PRESIDENT DP TAE
united States of America
THE FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS IN OUR COUNTRY AND IN
THIS ELECTION IS THE ECONOMY. COUNT ON THIS: WE WILL
GET THIS ECONOMY MOVING AGAIN -- -- AND WE WILL GET NEW
A
HAMPSHIRE BACK ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY.
THREE WEEKS AGO I LAID OUT MY TWO-PART PLAN TO NEW
HAMPSHIRE AND THE NATION - -- SHORT-TERM TO JUMPSTART OUR
ECONOMY -- LONG-TERM TO KEEP US COMPETITIVE AND STRONG
INTO THE NEXT CENTURY. I WANT, AND THE COUNTRY NEEDS,
BOTH PARTS ENACTED BY THE CONGRESS THIS YEAR -- IT'S
A
JUST THAT IMPORTANT.

MY PLAN BOOSTS INVESTMENT -- GIVES INCENTIVES TO
BUSINESSES TO BUY EQUIPMENT, UPGRADE THEIR PLANTS, AND
HIRE MORE WORKERS. IT HELPS RESTORE THE VALUE OF REAL
ESTATE - GETS THE HOUSING MARKET GOING AGAIN -- GIVES
A $5,000 TAX CREDIT TO FIRST TIME HOMEBUYERS. AND OUR
PLAN TAKES AN AXE TO 246 GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS - -- BECAUSE
*
GOVERNMENT IS TOO BIG AND SPENDS TOO MUCH.
BUT THERE'S ONE THING MY PLAN DOESN'T DO: IT WON'T
#
RAISE TAXES ON AMERICAN FAMILIES.
YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK: MY PLAN IS JUST WHAT THE
ECONOMY ORDERED. BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO ME AND THE
OTHER CANDIDATES - -- FROM THE LEFT OR FROM THE RIGHT --
HERE'S THE ONLY DIFFERENCE THAT COUNTS: I HAVE A PLAN
A
-- AND THEY DON'T HAVE A CLUE.
- 5 -
EVERYONE KNOWS WE'VE GOT TO WORK FAST TO GET THE
ECONOMY UP ON ITS FEET. BUT SOME ARE PUSHING
PROTECTIONISM -- ESCAPE FROM ECONOMIC REALITY. THEY
SAY THEY'RE GOING TO PLAY DEFENSE. THEY'RE GOING TO
FIGHT BACK. / SOUNDS TOUGH UNTIL YOU THINK ABOUT
IT. IT'S NOT THE SCHOOL-YARD BULLY -- IT'S THE BOY WHO
WANTS TO TAKE HIS BALL AND GO HOME.
WELL, AMERICA'S NOT THAT KIND OF COUNTRY. OUR
&
NATIONAL SYMBOL ISN'T THE OSTRICH -- IT'S THE EAGLE.
NEVER IN THIS NATION'S LONG HISTORY HAS AMERICA
TURNED ITS BACK ON A CHALLENGE. TO SUCCEED
ECONOMICALLY AT HOME -- YOU'VE GOT TO LEAD ECONOMICALLY
ABROAD. YOU SEE: I BELIEVE IN THE AMERICAN WORKER.
WE'LL GO HEAD TO HEAD WITH ANYONE. THE AMERICAN WORKER
CAN OUT-THINK, OUT-PRODUCE AND OUT-PERFORM THE
A
COMPETITION ANYWHERE, / ANYTIME.
THESE ARE THE THINGS NEXT TUESDAY IS ABOUT: THE
COURSE WE SET FOR OUR COUNTRY AND THE FUTURE WE BUILD
FOR OUR KIDS.

SURE, THIS IS A TOUGH RACE. BUT I'VE BEEN IN TOUGH
RACES BEFORE. AND YES, THE STAKES ARE HIGH -- NOT JUST
FOR ME, BUT FOR YOU AND OUR COUNTRY AS WELL. I KNOW
THE VOTERS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. YOU'VE BEEN SUBJECTED TO
A LOT OF THIS NEGATIVE CAMPOAIGNING. YOU'VE SEEN THE
ADS -- THE KIND THAT TEAR PEOPLE DOWN -- AND I BELIEVE
TURN PEOPLE OFF. WELL, I'M CONFIDENT THAT
YOU
UNDERSTAND THAT THIS ELECTION ISN'T ABOUT WHO CAN TRASH
ANOTHER'S CANDIDACY IN A THIRTY SECOND SPOT.
EVEN
NEW HAMPSHIRE VOTERS HAVE BEEN TOLD SOME FLAT OUT
LIES ABOUT THE PLAN I SENT TO THE CONGRESS.
HERE'S THE BILL I SENT TO THE CONGRESS IMMEDIATELY
AFTER THE STATE OF THE UNION. IN IT ARE PROVISIONS FOR
x
STUDENT LOAN DEDUCTIONS, AND PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY,
*
TAX RELIEF FOR AMERICA'S FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN.
IT'S ALL RIGHT HERE -- GIVES ME ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO
SAY TO THE CONGRESS -- PASS THIS PLAN, THE WHOLE PLAN.

NEXT TUESDAY MATTERS -- BECAUSE YOU DON'T JUST
CHOOSE A CANDIDATE - -- YOU CHOOSE A FUTURE, SET THE
COURSE THIS COUNTRY WILL FOLLOW FOR THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS. HERE'S WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THIS COUNTRY'S FUTURE:
NO MATTER HOW TOUGH TIMES ARE NOW -- AMERICA'S BEST DAY

ALWAYS LIES AHEAD. / I BELIEVE THAT NOW. I'LL
BELIEVE IT EVERY DAY I LIVE -- BECAUSE THAT'S THE GREAT
*
GLORY OF AMERICA. //
I FELT IT TODAY, FROM NASHUA TO NEW BOSTON. THE
PEOPLE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE - -- LIKE CITIZENS ALL ACROSS
THIS COUNTRY - -- ARE READY TO MOVE AHEAD, READY TO MOVE
FORWARD TO MEET A NEW AMERICAN DESTINY.
EVERYONE SEES THE NEED FOR CHANGE. EVERYONE FEELS
THE EXCITEMENT. EVERYONE IS IMPATIENT TO BEGIN. //
EVERYONE, THAT IS -- EXCEPT THE CROWD THAT CONTROLS THE
CONGRESS. //

SO YOU WON'T BE SURPRISED TO HEAR WHAT'S HAPPENING
TO MY ACTION PLAN -- THE PART TO JUMPSTART THIS
ECONOMY. ON WEDNESDAY, THE DEMOCRATS WHO CONTROL THE
WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE PULLED A BACK-ROOM STUNT --
AND TRIED TO MAKE MY PLAN DISAPPEAR.
THANK GOODNESS I KEPT A COPY.
I'M A PATIENT MAN. I KNOW CONGRESS CAN'T PASS MY
PLAN OVERNIGHT.
...
THAT'S WHY I GAVE THEM 52 DAYS.
I KNOW, THEY SAY: THE DEADLINE IS ARBITRARY.
THEY SAY: THE DEADLINE IS TOO EARLY.
THEY SAY: THE DEADLINE IS UNFAIR. //
