or. oh. i. good firm and very good in the picnics and and your charming wife had my running mate that wonderful republican who has served us so well for so long. bill miller and his wife

stephanie, to trust. and martin, who's done such a commendable job in championing this. invention. you, mr. herbert hoover, who might help, is watching and to that. that great american and his wife general and mrs. eisenhower. to my own wife my family and to all of my fellow republicans, heroes emulate america across this great nation. from this moment, the united and

determined we will go forward together, dedicated to the ultimate and undeniable greatness of the whole man to together, together we will win. all. i accept your nomination and with a deep sense of humility. i accept you the response ability that goes with it. and i say your continued help and you're going to tell your guy he's my fellow republicans. our cause is to great or any man to feel worthy of it. our task would be too great for any man they do not have with

him in their hearts and hands of this great republican party. and i promise you tonight that every fiber of my being is consecrated to our cause, that nothing shall be lacking from the struggle that can be brought to it by those he has a mighty vocation and plain hard work. and as world no person, no party can guarantee anything but what we can do and what we shall do is to preserve victory. and victory. well, they are. there. good lord, raise this mighty

republican republic so they are home for the brave and to flourish as the land of the free, not to stagnate in the swamp, land of collectivism, not to be before the bullying of communism. now, my fellow americans, the tide has been running against freedom. our people have followed false prophets. we must and we shall return to approve in ways not because they are owned, but because they are true. we must and we shall.

the tide is running again in the cause of freedom. and this party, with its every action, every word, every breath, and every heartbeat, has but a single resolve. and that is freedom. freedom made orderly for this nation by our constitutional government. freedom under a government limited by the laws of nature and of nature's god. freedom, balance. so that order lacking liberty will not become the slavery of the presidential balance.

so that liberty lacking order will not become the license of a mob out of the jungle. now we americans understand we have earned it. we have lived for it, and we have died for it. this nation and its people, our freedoms model and a searching world we can be freedom's missionaries in a daunting world. but ladies and gentlemen, first we must renew freedom's vision in our own hearts and in our own whole. enduring for a few years, the

administration, which we shall replace as. has distorted and lost that vision. it has taught and talked and talked and talked the words of freedom. but it has failed and failed and failed in the works of freedom. now failures remain the wall of shame and berlin failures. is blocked and the shame of the bay of pigs failures marked the slow death of freedom and allow us failures in past the jungles of vietnam and failures of the houses of our once great alliances and undermine the

greatest bulwark ever erected by free nations. the nato communique. failures broken shame, lost leaders here obscure purpose weakening will and the risk of inciting our sworn enemies. there are no aggressions and no excessive. and because of this administration, we are united, a world divided. we are a nation becalmed. we have lost the first case of diversity and the genius of individual creativity. we are plodding along at a pace set by central planning, red tape rules are not responsibility and regimentation without recourse.

rather than useful jobs in our country, our people have been offered bureaucratic make work rather than moral leadership. they have been given bread and circuses. they have been given spectacles. and yes, they've even been given scandalous. tonight, there is violence in our streets, corruption in our highest offices, aimlessness amongst our youth and society, among our elders. and there is a virtual despair among the many who look beyond material success for the enemy of their lives. and we're the example that morality should be set. the opposite is seen.

small men seeking great wealth or power have too often and too long term leave at the highest levels of public service and to a mere personal opportunity. no, certainly simple honesty is not too much to the land of men in government. we find it in most republicans demanded from everyone. they demanded from everyone, no matter how exalted or protected his position might be. the growing menace in our

country tonight to personal safety, to life, to limb and property and home in churches, on the playgrounds and places of business, particularly in our great cities. as the mounting concern, our survey of every thoughtful citizen in the united states. security from domestic violence no less than from foreign aggression is the most elemental and fundamental purpose of any government. and it's a government that cannot fulfill this perfect purpose is one that cannot belong the man, the loyalty of its citizens.

history shows us. it demonstrates that nothing, nothing prepares the way for tyranny. more than the failure of public officials to keep the streets safe from bullies and marauders. now, we republicans see all this as more, much more than the result of their political differences or mere political mistakes. we see this as the result of a fundamentally and absolutely wrong view of man, his nature and his destiny. those who seek to live your lives for you, to take your liberties in return for anything of yours.

those who elevate the state and downgrade the citizen must see ultimately a world in which earthly power can be substituted for divine will. this nation. this nation was founded upon the rejection of that notion and upon the acceptance that god of god as the author of freedom. now, those who seek absolute power, even though they seek to do what they regard as good, are simply demanding the right to enforce their own version of heaven on earth. they.

and let me remind you, they are the very ones who always create the most hellish tyrannies. absolute power does corrupt and those who seek it must be suspect and must be opposed their mistaken course. there is room false notions. ladies and gentlemen, of equality. equality rightly understood as our founding fathers understood, it leads to liberty and to the emancipation in our creative differences. wrongly understood as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism, then.

fellow republicans. it is the cause of republicanism to resist concentrations of power, private or public, which. which are to enforce such conformity and inflict such it is a cause of republicanism to ensure that power remains in the hands of the people and. and so help us god. that is exactly what a republican president will do with the help of a republican

congress. it is further because of republicanism to restore a clear understanding of the tyranny of man over man in the world, at large. it is our cause to dispel the foggy thinking which avoids hard decisions, and the delusion that a world of conflict will somehow mysteriously resolve itself into a world of harmony if we just don't rock the boat or irritate the forces of aggression. and this is hogwash hogwash. it.

it is further the cause of republicanism to remind ourselves and the world that all leaders strong can remain brave, that only a strong guarantee for peace. now all i need is reminds you or my fellow americans, regardless of party, that republicans have shouldered this hard responsibility and marched in this cause before it was republican leadership under dwight eisenhower that kept the peace and passed along to this administration the mightiest arsenal for defense the world has ever known.

and i need to remind you that it was the strength and the believable will of the eisenhower years that kept the peace by using our strength, by using it in the foremost of strength and in lebanon and showing it courageously at all times. it was during those republican years that the thrust of communism and heroism was blunted. it was during those years of republican leadership that this world moved closer, not to war, but closer to peace. not at any other time in the last three decades.

and i needn't remind you, but i will, that is, during democratic years that our strength to the terror war has stood still and even gone in great plan. decline it has been during democratic years that we have we pleased stumble into conflict territory, refusing to draw our own lines against aggression. the simply refusing to tell even our own people of our full participation and tragically letting our finest men die on battlefields unmarked by purpose, unmarked by pride, or the prospect of victory. yes.

yesterday it was clear, and i. it is vietnam. make no bones of this. don't try to sweep this under the rug. we are at war in vietnam. and yet the president, who is the commander in chief of our forces, refuses to say, refuses to say, my view whether or not the objective over there is victory. and his secretary of defense continues to mislead and inform the american people. i don't know how that has gone by.

and i. i needn't remind you, but i will. it has been during democratic. that 8 billion persons were cast into communist captivity and their hate cynically still today. today, in our beloved country, we have an administration which seems eager to deal with communism. and every kind. no firm gold. a week from consulates to conferences and even human freedom itself. now the republican cause demands that we brand communism as the price of all this fervor of peace in the world today.

and they wish that branded as the only significant disturber of the peace. and we must make clear that until it. goals of conquest are absolutely and its relations with all nations tempered communism and the governments it now controls are enemies of every man on earth who is our wants to be free. now know we here in america can keep the peace only if we remain vigilant and only if we remain strong. only if we keep our eyes open and keep our guard up can we prevent war.

and i want to make this abundant lay clear. i don't. to let peace or freedom be torn from our grasp. because of lack of strength, our lack of will. and that i promise you, americans. i believe that we must look beyond the defense of freedom today, to its exclusion tomorrow. i believe that the communism, which both it will bury us, will instead give way to the forces of freedom.

and i can see in the distant and yet recognizable future the outlines a world worthy of our dedication to our every risk, our every effort, our every sacrifice. the way. yes. a world that redeem the suffering of those who will be liberated from tyranny. i can see, and i suggest that all men must contemplate the flowering of an atlantic. the whole of europe, for a unified and free trade, and openly across its borders, communicating openly across the world. now. this is a goal far, far more

meaningful, very moonshot. it's a. it's a truly inspiring goal for all free men to set for themselves during the latter half of the 20th century. i can and all free men must thrill to the advance of this atlantic civilization, joined by its great ocean highway to the united states. what i yesterday what a destiny can be our is -- as a great central pillar linking europe, the americas and the venerable and vital peoples and cultures of the pacific. i can see a day when all the americas, north and south. well, the late today, my dear system. a system in which the errors and

misunderstandings of the past will be submerged one by one. any rising tide of prosperity and interdependence. we know that misunderstandings are centuries are not to be wiped away. the way and a day are wiped away in an hour. but we pledge we pledge that human sympathy, what our neighbors to the south call an attitude of sympathy, hold no less than enlightened self-interest. well, the our guy. and i can say that the atlantic civilization galvanizing and guiding emergent nations everywhere. now i know that freedom is not the fruit of every soil. i know that our own freedom was achieved through century is by

unremitting efforts of brave and wise men. and i know that the road to freedom is a long and a challenging road. and i know also that some men may walk away from it as some memories, as challenge accepting the false security of governmental paternalism. and i. and i that the america i envision in the years ahead will extend hand and help in teaching and in cultivating so that all new nations will be at least encourage and encouraged to go our way so that they will not wander down the dark alleys, tyranny or the dead in the streets of collectivism.

my fellow republicans, we do know many service by hiding freedom's light under a bushel of mistaken humility. i see an america proud of its past, proud of its ways, proud of its dream. and the determined actively to proclaim that. but our example to the world must lie. charity begin at home. in our vision of a good and decent future, free and

peaceful. there must be room. room for the liberation of the energy and the talent of the individual. otherwise, our vision is blind. at the outset, we must assure a society here which, while never abandoning the needy or forsaking the helpless, nurtures, set heroes and opportunities for the creative and the productive. we must know the whole good is. the product of many single contributions, and i cherish it. a. when our children once again will restore as heroes the sort of men and women who are unafraid and undaunted pursue the truth, strive to carry ease,

subdue and make fruitful our natural environment, and produce the inventive engines of production. science and technology. this nation, those creative people, had enhanced this entire span of history should again ride upon the greatness of all those things which we we as individual citizens can and should do. and during republican years, this again, will be a nation of men and women, of families, proud of their roles, jealous of their and in their aspirations. a nation where all who can well be self-reliant.

we republicans see in our constitution a form of government, the great framework which assures the orderly but dynamic fulfillment of the whole man. and we see the whole man as the great reason or instituting orderly government in the first place. we see we see in private property an economy based upon and fostering private property. the one way to make government a durable ally of the whole man rather than his determined enemy. we see in the sanctity of private property the only

durable foundation for accountability, which no government in a free society. and and beyond that, we see a diversity of ways, diversity in thoughts of motives and accomplishments. we don't say colored anyone's life. and we only seek their own to secure his rights. guaran deem opportunity. guarantee him opportunity astride with government, performing only those needed and constitutionally sanctioned tasks which cannot otherwise be performed.

we re public and seek a government that attends to its inherent responsibilities of maintaining a stable monetary and fiscal climate, encouraging a free and competitive economy, and enforce a law and order. thus do we seek inventiveness, diversity and creative difference within a stable order. are we republicans define government's role? where needed. at many, many levels. preferably the old. the one closest to the people involved.

our towns and our cities. then our counties. then our states. then our regional compacts. and only then the national government. that. let me remind you, is the latter of liberty built by these and paralyzed power. on it also we must have balance between the branches of government at every level. balance and diversity. creative difference. these are the elements of the republican equation.

republicans agree. republicans agree heartily to disagree on many, many of their efforts. but we have never desired agree on the basic fundamental issues of why you and i are republicans. this is a party, this republican party is a party of a free man, not for blind followers and not for compromise. back. in 1858, abraham lincoln said this to the republican party, and i. i quote him because he probably could have said it during the last week or so.

it was composed of three discordant and even hostile elements, end of the, quote, 1958. yeah. yet all of these elements agree on one paramount objective to arrest the progressives slavery and place it in the course of all of our extinction today as then. but more urgently and more broadly than. the task of preserving and enlarging freedom at home. and of safeguarding it from the forces of tyranny abroad is great enough to challenge all our resources and to require all our strength. anyone who joins us, in all

sincerity, we welcome those. those who do not care for our cause. we don't expect to enter our ranks, eradicate us and. all, let our republicanism so focused and so dedicated should not be made fuzzy and futile by unthinking and stupid labels. i would remind you that extremism in the defense of liberty is no.

thank you. andrew. who? and let me remind you also that moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue. all the the theory of the very system we republicans are

pledged to restore and revitalize is the beauty of this federalist of ours is as it is, reconciliation of diversity with unity. we must not see malice in honest differences of opinion. and no matter how great so long as they are not inconsistent with the pledges we have given to each in andrew, our constitution. our republican cause is not to level out the world or make its people conform and computer regimented sameness. our republican cause is to free our people and light the way for liberty throughout the world.

ours is a very human cause for very humane goals. this party is good people and is unquenchable devotion to freedom. not fulfill the purposes of this campaign, which we launch here. now until our cause is won the day. it is fire the world and shown the way to it. tomorrow. worthy of all our yesteryears. i. i accept your nomination as humbleness with pride. and you and i are going to fight for the goodness of our land. thank thank.

one. who. read. go. and every summer washington dc. was doing their own ration card and into them and the local soap box derby i entered last year but i didn't win so i decided build a new car and enter again. year my name is carter junior but my friends call me see.

i came in the lumber yard. i the fine kind of wood i needed for my floorboard. i wanted it not too heavy. heavy to carry and car. it couldn't be a real expensive type of wood because i only had $20 to spend on the whole car. he suggested a piece of pine pine. he showed me first piece of wood grain is a little rough. i say. i turn it down. i might get a better piece

piece. but he did show me a better piece. wood. so got that piece from my board. one man named gregory wilson and the he didn't in last would he earned it this year. he's always haggling me like most boys. hello my mother i don't like when she calls me to do something and i've already started something else. she called me for quality so i had to go. oh, i, i don't sing all that well, mr. shaw.

i guess he thinks i sing well, not stand choir. sometimes i get more required rehearsal. he sings songs and you sing them over and over again. and every now and then i sneak look at a the beams in church and they sort of remind me of puts my race because they come around the top and then come straight the side and make sure mr. shaw always want he sees all. he gets real mad when we don't sing. they were supposed to be singing. he raises voice. he yells, frankly, i don't like it. i like the choir household. i had trouble with the steering mechanism. i couldn't figure out which way one wire around the steering share. so the car would turn the same way i turn the wheel. you have to see there's a child in there. i'm getting.

well he's and he works with howard university. he used that method. i thought about working as humans when i grew up. it seemed strange to me. you can take two things and put them together and come out with something completely. from what you originally had. such is a common. so you put sodium, which can be a very dangerous chemical and chlorine, which is a poisonous. and you put those two together and you come out with the table. so i like kind of work when i go into the service, i plan become a paratrooper. i've always wondered, i feel this falling through space, actually never even been in nepal because my height breaks and had be made a certain way when i in i have their rooms yet my legs.

turn on inspection and drawn closes. i was excited about car you know i designed the car and it you so feel pride that you before when i went up for inspection i had trouble racing the wrong inspectors checked car and they sent me back and i had a correction on it. the inspection was held at a

high school, so it caused a pretty good designed and accommodation would be pretty stiff. inspectors seem like use your room good going over old cars in pairs they had to be taken and worked on. i wondered how tough they would be on me. i didn't know for sure if i was going to pass. well, go. and had steering mechanism. i had trouble with it before the

steering the soon to be a little bit loose. not that go you want to test out my brakes i messed on the brakes. or i saw passed due for so i said good in the track see how it was laid out. it was hot. it's like it was. and i raced you before trying seem long as you stand quiet and my be were people cheering yelling cars would be at the top of the hill if i won the national. i had 70 $500 scholarship in college. i want to get out would be the

one went. to only two more boys in the race they come from all over washington nearby mel and virginia. and the suburbs there. derby officials keep the cars at coolidge high school gymnasium. so the cars can't be ordered. and then they do leave all the cars in track when take your car off, you worried about them being careful with your car? you you don't want them there is steering system of the brakes. the other boys had some pretty good races. they were quite good pretty fast. i had to pop up my car so the wheels wouldn't get flat. i got real tense when they

started lining because i wasn't in first race greg was in first attorney general kennedy started race. the racing system and he and the winner from each of three cars comes back races again one oh right. okay great. well all. i don't know about the other guys but when i get on the ramp from the long and nervous

because i'm too busy on other things like getting ready to steal my car or getting in a good position. so i get to the car and you go and inhale. 35 or 40 miles and now the wind in your face and people cheering and you stay down low in the car stage, gated you get the maximum speed is an exciting feeling as you get to the bottom of the my car outweighed the car. my right and so he is passed me in the race i finished in third place. the time was 30 seconds the last race or 31 or 32 seconds and did better this year thought i was the guy raced against you the one that came in second at the new washington dc game tv champion and. i wish that he had he had better

kong and he won. so i congratulated all of you have you about losing the plans and plans for next year change in practice so my driving more i'll and again next year maybe i'll win.
