AD ON CHRISTIAN RADIO TOUTS CLINTON'S STANDS
President Clinton's campaign is airing an ad on Christian radio stations that boasts of his opposition to some late-term abortions and his signing of legislation aimed at preventing gay marriages.
And while the ad depicts his opposition to same-sex marriage as a political asset, Clinton has called the legislation "one more attempt to divert the American people" from more serious issues, and White House press secretary Michael McCurry has branded it "gay-baiting, pure and simple."
"Protecting religious freedom. It's the foundation of our nation.
"When the Justice Department went after a church to gather the parishioners'
tithing money, the government was stopped cold because President Clinton
overturned the government's policy and protected us.It's not the only time
he's defended our values. Don't be misled by Bob Dole's attack ads.
"President Clinton wants a complete ban on late term abortions except when
the mother's life is in danger or faces severe health risks, such as the
inability to have another child.
"The President signed the Defense of Marriage Act, supports curfews and
school uniforms to teach our children discipline.
"The President enacted the V-chip to block out violent TV programs. His
crime bill expanded the death penalty for drug kingpins. Bob Dole opposed him
and is resorting to untrue negative attacks. President Clinton has fought for
our values and America is better for it.
"Paid for by Clinton/Gore 96"
