The issues in this election, the issues that face this state and this nation are:
How do we expand economic growth to benefit all and strengthen the American family without furthering our debt and without the twin pitfalls of inflation and unemployment?
How do we maintain a vibrant agricultural and rural economy and at the same time renew our cities as centres of education, science and industry?
How do we achieve a sense of balance between conflicting interests at home and abroad?
How do we secure the homeland and at the same time remain that beacon of freedom and liberty which those living under tyranny wish to emulate?
How do we remain true to our own sense of moral purpose when opposed by those who believe that they have a monopoly on morals?
How do we in the midst of troubled times awaken in every American a determination to find the best way forward and to regard every proposed solution on its own merits?
