Edwin Edwards Speech
G'day, fellow Louisianans, I have served diligently as your governor, as a supporter of the Louisianan people, the farmer and laborer, regardless of the color of their skin or their gender.
Now, why am I running for president, the reason is to get the democratic back to it's roots, of New Deal populism, just as FDR would have liked it to be, just as Huey Long would have liked it to be. Our platform, is a platform for the people, reducing taxes for the working and middle class, expanding social services, helping our farmers, with agriculture subsidies, expanding welfare, funding our schools, increasing teacher pay, and expanding welfare for those that need it the most.
We need to build more roads, more highways, we need to have our laborers, our builders back working, and curbing the rising un-employemnt and inflation rate. We need to have ambitious leadership, one which tells us we need full employment for our citizens, one which commits us to free universal healthcare, one which commits us to improving urban and rural transport, through trains and buses.
We need to focus on concerns of all Americans, downtrodden, working or middle class. People from the cities in New York and Chicago, to rural Americans right here in Louisiana. We need to identify their concerns, living pay-check to pay-check, struggling to feed their families. We need to address these concerns, and have a radical plan, a radical plan, to eliminate poverty, to eliminate crime and to eliminate unemployment. Just as we did at the new deal, we need to expand opportunists for our fellow Americans, with college funding, expanded help for the poor, investments in science, schools and infrastructure, and empowered opportunities for blacks and whites alike.
We need to make sure, the people are served first, not big business and enterprise alike. We need to regulate big business, to make sure they do not run amok and hurt our fellow Americans, our hard working-class friends and colleagues. Our president has not been able to do that, while a great gal, President Carter is, he has not been able to lead our country in times of unemployment and inflation, he has failed in this task. Throughout my leadership in Louisiana we have enacted great measures to expand social services, education and reform government, reduce bureaucracy, so that the people are well-served by their government.
Now in these times of hardship on the american government, we do not need a president who seems out of touch with the concerns of middle America, by telling them to buy less, when many of them do not have work or stable employment due to failed leadership of the Carter administration. We also definitely do not need Wallace, for god knows what he stands for these days. Now the last things, we need is the god dam*n republicans, the party so profoundly pro big business and anti-worker. You, the american people need, you the american people deserve leadership, just like FDR and Long, for a new deal to the american people, to achieve the american dream for all Americans.
