Tom Carper: Hello, this is Congressman Tom Carper. As the 1984 election campaign draws to a close, I'd like to take a minute to review with you

00:00:07.920 - 00:00:16.110

some of the critical questions facing America. Questions that make this year's election the most critical one of our lifetimes. Will we stem the flood of

00:00:16.110 - 00:00:23.660

red ink flowing out of Washington, or will we drown in it? Will we strengthen our public education system, or will we weaken it?

00:00:23.660 - 00:00:30.320

Will we reaffirm our pledge to a clean environment, or step back from that pledge? And finally, will we find the wisdom and

00:00:30.320 - 00:00:36.260

the strength to control the nuclear arms race, or will it control us? In 1984, I've run

00:00:36.260 - 00:00:43.430

a positive campaign that focuses squarely on these and other critical issues. As you consider going to the polls on Tuesday,

00:00:43.430 - 00:00:51.380

keep in mind that democracy is not a spectator sport. In America, this year, we are voting as if our lives and

00:00:51.380 - 00:00:59.820

the quality of our lives depend on it. Because in a very real sense, they do. Male Voice: Paid for by the Carper for Congress Committee.
