FRIDAY, FEB. 4, 7:30 PM (EST) – TOWN HALL MEETING IN WILMINGTON, DELAWARE
Jan 28 -The following statement was made by Democratic Presidential Candidate, Lyndon LaRouche, through a telephone
hook-up to delegate caucuses held in 52 Congressional districts in California on Sunday, Jan 23, and broadcast on the Internet.“Well, let's start with a tough note, away from the usual promises of glory forever, which most campaigns indulge in. The fact is
that if the Democratic Party is continuing its present direction, that it's been continuing for the past weeks, then it's assured that
the Democratic Party will not only lose the Presidential campaign, but will also lose the Congressional campaigns by a
significant margin in the coming year, in the coming elections. The reason is very simple. So far, as most of you know, elections
have been dominated in the United States, by about thirty-odd percent of those who should be considered potential voters.
This thirty-odd percent, in turn, is dominated by persons in the upper 20 percent of income-brackets, the so-called suburban
vote, as Dick Morris, the former advisor to President Clinton, and Al Gore have emphasized. The same thing is true on the
Republican side, is that people who tend to have money, or more money than 80 percent of the population, tend to think in
terms of ‘my money,’ ‘shareholder value,’ and so forth,-- tend to be greedy and disassociated, and look down upon their
neighbors. And they are increasingly disposed, to vote for the type of Democrat who is of that type, that disposition, and to
vote more and more, for Republicans, particularly of the Dick Armey, DeLay, etc., type…“Therefore, in approaching this election campaign, knowing that, if we do not bring a Democrat in as the next President; if we
do not take back the majority of the Congress for the Democratic Party, there is no foreseeable future for the United States
and its people. Because only with a President in the spirit and tradition of Franklin Roosevelt, only with a Congress which will
support him, however reluctantly, and only with such a President pulling together other nations to cooperate with the United
States in reforming the international financial system and monetary system,-- only under those conditions, can we be assured
that the nation is going to come out of the early years of this century, in good shape, or even as a nation…“So the question is, we have to bring together the majority, or those who represent the majority, or typify the majority of the
American voters. We have to bring them together, not around their particular issues as one constituency group versus another,
but to recognize that we have one thing in common. That one thing in common, is to have a government which is committed to
the General Welfare, on behalf of all of our citizens, and their posterity. If we can, now, break the ice, and begin to get a
significant number of people to turn out to vote, who otherwise would not vote, who represent these constituencies from the
lower 80 percent of the family-income brackets, we have very easily the power to overwhelm those of a contrary disposition, in both the Republican and Democratic Party. We have the power, potentially, to change things.”
