Pat Buchanan Can Win - Go Pat Go!

CNN, The Weekly Standard, National Review and others have chosen
to demonize Pat Buchanan, candidate for Reform Party presidential nomination,
using his new book A Republic, Not An Empire. Unable to find damaging
quotes from the book, they chose to fabricate new policies for him. For
example, A. M.Rosenthal wrote in the New York Times (9/2/99) that
Buchanan's "new book does not hide his belief that it would have been
better if Nazi Germany had won the war." Buchanan did not say that or
even suggest it in the book. Nothing could have been further from the
truth. The Reform Party's platform is close to Buchanan's beliefs
concerning trade, America First, etc. The Reform Party's stand on social
issues is that the party members respect the positions of the candidates
and a specific set of beliefs is neither a requirement nor a barrier to
nomination as the party's standard bearer. Buchanan states in his book
that US Foreign policy should be limited to vital national interests and
therefore he was opposed to our sending troops into Kosovo. He is l00%
pro-life (Gore, Bradley, Bush and McCain are not). He is opposed to the
job-robbing NAFTA, GATT, WTO. Last year Americans lost thousands of jobs
to Mexico and other countries. Buchanan CAN be elected to the
presidency if all his supporters join the Reform Party and attend their
state's conventions. Florida's convention will be held January 22-23 in
Tampa. Call Buchanan headquarters at 703-734-2700 for more
information.
