Bush stresses American values in speech 1988 was the year for Presidental elections and George Bush made MTSU one of his stops on his campaign route. More than 5,000 Middle Tenn- essee citizens and MTSU students gathered to be a part of the campaign hoopla and to get a more personal and up close look at the Republican can- didate. George Bush dicussed his views on some of America ' s important values. He touched on such issues as jobs, tax increase, abortion, and drug abuse. If elected president, Bush promised to not raise taxes. He also voiced his support for mandatory sentencing and capital punishment for drug deal- ers. Bush also used the campaign as an opportunity to compare himself to his opponent, Michael Dukakis. He stated his beliefs in adoption instead of abortion, volutary prayer in schools, and recite- ment of the pledge of allegiance by children in the school sytems. The Vice President ended his speech by saying he was the man to continue the move of America towards prosperity. ...I see a new pride in the United States of America, this is no time for a retreat to the policies which failed us in the past. □ bxj Kelli Davison As state dignitaries and security look on.
