[0:02] Hello.
[0:03] Chairman McIver, Mr. President.
[0:04] Right.
[0:06] Hello.
[0:06] Good morning, Mr. President.
[0:09] John, I couldn't get up to Wisconsin this time.
[0:11] Of course, it's a state that I have been to so often because of the primaries in the past, but I know with the marvelous organization you have, with the good support we have in
[0:22] state and so many communities that we're going to come through on Election Day.
[0:26] And the purpose of my call is to thank you, and will you tell all the workers, express my thanks.
[0:32] Second, to urge that everybody get out and vote on Election Day, because the issues are bigger than party.
[0:39] They involve peace with honor rather than with surrender, and a strong America rather than a weak America, and prosperity.
[0:48] without war and without inflation.
[0:50] And those are causes worth fighting for and worth voting for, we think.
[0:55] Thank you, Mr. President.
[0:56] Appreciate it very much, and we certainly appreciate the call.
[0:58] And I hope that you're doing well, too, John, on those other, on those House seats up there.
[1:03] I know you've got some close ones, so.
[1:06] We do.
[1:06] John Ehrlichman, that we have more volunteers going out door to door this time than we've ever had in the state.
[1:12] We know that Wisconsin is a tougher state for us because the opposition was in there in a primary.
[1:20] But on the other hand, I think from what I've heard, that you have solidified the thing in the last three or four days.
[1:29] It's looking much better, yes.
[1:30] Is it?
[1:31] Good.
[1:33] Okay, John, we count on you.
[1:34] I remember how we counted on you back in 68, and you came through.
[1:38] Thank you, Mr. President.
[1:40] Bye, bye.
