I Make One Pledge Above

It Doesn T Require Any Particular Bravery To Stand On The Floor Of The Senate And Urge Our Boys In Vietnam To Fight Harder And If This War Mushrooms Into A Major Conflict And A Hundred Thousand Young Americans Are Killed It Won T Be U.s. Senators Who Die. It Will Be American Soldiers Who Are Too Young To Qualify For The Senate.

The Nature Of Freedom Of Choice Is That Some People Will Misuse Their Responsibility And Hurt Themselves In The Process. We Should Do Our Best To Educate Them, But Without Diminishing Choice For Everyone Else.

For A Generation And More, The Government Has Sought To Meet Our Needs By Multiplying Its Bureaucracy. Washington Has Taken Too Much In Taxes From Main Street, And Main Street Has Received Too Little In Return. It Is Not Necessary To Centralize Power In Order To Solve Our Problems.

It Is Not Patriotic To Commit Young Americans To War Unless Our National Security Clearly Requires It.

No Man Should Advocate A Course In Private That He's Ashamed To Admit In Public.
