To the Editor:
In response to your editorial two weeks ago, slamming Ross Perot, I would like to address three points which you made.
First you stated that Perot was “evasive on issues.” The whole Perot movement was, and is, based on clear talk about critical issues. Don’t read his lips; read his best-selling book, “United We Stand: How We Can Take Back Our Country.” In it he expresses very specific plans to reduce the crippling deficit, to reform politics, encourage environmental protection, create a longterm energy policy, reform education, reduce crime and drug use, and establish the best health care system in the world. He has been forthright with ideas to create jobs, improve race relationships, and our nation's relationships with other countries through world trade policies.
If you.don’t have time to read the book, at least read the brochure being distributed by United We Stand volunteers. It contains the checklist for federal candidates from the appendix of Perot’s book. This is a way to hold candidates accountable for their stand on specific issues - (Not who slept with whom or who knows how to spell potato.)
You stated that his volunteers were angry and embittered. A few were. But angry and embittered people don’t work to place the name of their candidate on the ballot in all 50 states, forsaking vacation time in late summer. This is a positive force - a movement not of despair, but of hope. Look! Here’s someone with fresh ideas at a time when we desperately need them.
