Mhm. Young people see a devastating war. They see injustice. And they
asked, well, what's so great about America? Well, we do have serious
problems. And yet your presence here tonight tells me that great things
are still possible in this great country of America. When I was a child,
my mother and her fondest moments could not have expected that one of her
sons would someday be a United States congressman. After all. Here I was
born into a poor mexican american family in a small rural town and a
catholic.
And yet today that possibility does exist. American people of capable of
magnificent things. You know, that's been America's message to the world.
And I think it can be again.
Yeah,
you're jealous. He's been there.
Mhm.
Used to shine shoes over at Hawkins. Shoeshine father. They need wash
windows around town, started at the bottom. And he got himself a little
man straight out on the street, the street dances since robert has been in
Washington. He's always kept us in mind. And when we have been in need for
anything that we need the government to help us out or problems that we
know that we need someone in Washington to direct us by immediately think
of robert real enthusiastic. I knew he's going to go places one of these
days. So I thought of robert and wrote him telling another of our
difficulty. And within a week's time We had 200 books. I guess the most
important thing about Barbara fellas. He knows the people of this state.
He owes nothing to the big shot
and rebellious. He's been there when people needed him
listening to people. An important part of a congressman's job. We've had
people around for offer and people could talk table coda Resolve their
differences without killing each other for 16 years. He's been listening
to arizonans and helping with their problems. And another thing bob. How
about all these drugs? He's been a staff professional in Congress, but
he'd like to do more. He could as congressman rivals. That's fine.
I'll tell you what I think we simply have to end the war. National health
insurance for the elderly and middle americans, anti pollution laws with
teeth.
We need to have a farm program. We haven't had one in four years proposed
to the Congress. More than a decade of work on Capitol Hill has made bob
revel is an expert on Congress and on the needs of the state. He has
helped represent those are priorities that we have to start thinking about.
He's been there.
Mhm.
His strong point is that he's very Loreal and very thoughtful. He's always
been a starts all of his hometown. He comes home to see us visits to us
all take care of our problems and is uh in addition to his work force is a
thoroughly delightful boy, a young man, I should say it rebellious. He's
been there when people needed him. Yeah.
Mhm.
Yeah. He's been there. He thinks government should be more than paying
taxes and fighting wars. He'd like to help change that and he thinks he
could as congressman rivals.
Mhm. For 16 years as a congressional aide, he's shown a special devotion
to the problems of the elderly. He wants to do more. He can as congressman
rivals
For a third of his life as a congressional aide. He's been listening to
Arizonans and helping with their problems. He wants to do more as
congressman revolution.
