SUGGESTED BASIC CAMPAIGN TEXT
There are some who say the President should stick to "Presidential
business" during an off-year election, because the tide usually runs
against the party that occupies the White House. But I say there is no
business more important than the business of democracy, and I am here
today to urge you to send to Washington the kind of men who will speak
up for your rights, act in your behalf, and fight for your convictions.
The candidates of America's two great political parties are pitted
against one another this fall to determine the character and direction
of the Ninety-Second Congress of the United States.
But in a very important sense, this is not a traditional election - -
nor could it be. Because today, in America, there are two separate and
distinct political and social philosophies competing for the right to deter-
mine the destiny of this nation -- the destiny of our society at home, and
the destiny of the Western World.
These elections are another phase of the political and philosophical
conflict of 1968 - a conflict between the dogmas of the old elite that
dominated America in the sixties and, on the other side, a new leadership
that represents the values and beliefs of a new emergent majority in
American politics.
