00:00:01.140 - 00:00:39.620

correct. I didn't say that. Let me handle it. Okay. And the gay community and the gay leadership here can deliver those people are going to have power and they're going to have a say in what goes on in the Democratic Party campaign marks the

00:00:39.630 - 00:01:05.040

first time the gaze a flexed their political muscle on a national level, not only have liberal candidates campaign contributions and votes from the gay community, but every major presidential candidate this year has had to take a stand on the sticky issue of gay rights. But certainly

00:01:05.140 - 00:01:23.430

I myself am going to be pushing a gay platform and debate on the floor of the convention on a lesbian and gay rights platform. It's going to be on national tv and that kind of exposure is something that will be very helpful, I think, to our

00:01:23.440 - 00:02:08.750

00:02:36.000 - 00:03:12.750

gay voters stampede to the independent candidacy of john Anderson. Mhm candidates and particularly the Democratic Party has not followed through on its lip service to the gay community and the issues that concerned the gay community and that is what we are hearing from people who

00:03:12.840 - 00:03:34.590

become involved in our campaign. They're disgusted with the alternatives, and they don't like some of the administration policies, particularly on immigration and in other areas. And they see someone in john Anderson who will make healthy changes if necessary. The senator got a little carried away. I've

00:03:34.590 - 00:03:45.080

been saying the same thing and making sure that I can benefit from the knowledge and the historical in relationships that have been enjoyed by the Southwestern states. The same thing obviously applies.
