Hatfield delivering keynote address speech explicitly for UI camera: "The Republican Party offers to the voters of this country, to Republicans, to Democrats and to Independents alike, a faith, a faith in believing in the American people and their capacity to govern themselves. A faith in American labor, its right to organize and its expectation that there will not be penalizing kind of legislation to thwart their cause. A faith in our federal system of our government. States and local government do have a place and a role to play in our great scene of government. A faith in the American farmer, a faith in the minorities to make and continue to make contributions, a faith in our ability to eliminate bigotry from this nation whether it is in the Communist Party or KKK or the John Birch Society. This is the party of faith, a faith that believes in the basic eternal moral values of the Judeo-Christian faith. All of this means that America has a choice, a choice of continuing with a party of fear or turning to a party of faith and progressive sprit." | |
