Raleigh
Description
Recording of a Harvey Gantt campaign speech in Raleigh. Gantt is introduced by an unknown speaker. Gantt explains that in 1990, his senate campaign made a lot of sense even though he lost, and so he just filed to run for senate again in 1996. Topics include: the American Dream, change shouldn't threaten the promise of the future, downsizing, economic change (layoffs, corporate profits), we build more prisons than classrooms, balancing crime prevention with protection of the public from criminals, giving tax cut to the wealthy while cutting Medicare and school lunch programs is immoral, balancing the budget to facilitate opportunity, not to benefit the rich, how the 1996 race is a battle for how the government relates to the American family, there is much we can do even with a smaller federal government, early childhood education, Gantt supports Americans to go as far in education as they wish, job training programs, affordable healthcare, and protecting the environment. Gantt concludes by saying that government can't do it all, everyone must step up and help drive the agenda and by discussing his family background. The speech is followed by a question and answer session.
