Dan Quayle for President 2000 Campaign Brochure

‘Standing Firm for our values’

Stand Firm with a man who shares our values

A message from Vice President Dan Quayle

Values matter most. Reversing the decline in our culture and restoring core values like courage, faith, life, responsibility and integrity is our greatest challenge and our only real hope for ensuring a bright future for our children. I seek the presidency to lead a restoration of our common values, and as president, I will provide clear, decisive leadership that will help renew our culture, strengthen our families, and reclaim America's credibility around the globe.

First, I will defend the values that made America great;

Second, I will liberate families from a federal tax and regulatory burden that too often forces both parents out of the home and into the workplace; and,

Third, I will restore respect for American leadership abroad and ensure we are prepared to confront the challenges facing the world's only superpower.

Stand Firm with a Leader

Fighting for the values that matter most

Dan Quayle stands firm for the values that make America great -- faith in God, love of family, and the defense of freedom. Mr. Quayle's election to the vice presidency of the United States in 1988 continued a remarkable record of achievement that began in 1976 with his election to the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1980, Congressman Quayle was elected to the U.S. Senate. He was re-elected in 1986.

As a member of Congress, he introduced both the repeal of the marriage penalty and a flat tax proposal, and he successfully fought for enactment of his landmark Job Training Partnership Act and to preserve the Patriot anti-missile defense system. As Vice President, Dan Quayle oversaw the effort to drastically reduce the regulatory burden on small businesses and farmers.

After leaving office, Dan Quayle authored two best selling books, and served as a distinguished visiting professor of international studies at Thunderbird, the American Graduate School of International Management. For over twenty years, Dan and Marilyn Quayle have campaigned for hundreds of conservative candidates around the country.

Dan and Marilyn Quayle have three grown children: Tucker, Benjamin, and Corinne.

Dan Quayle is fighting for:

America's Families.

For decades, big government attempted and failed to provide solutions to social problems. The solution is to strengthen the American family, not the government. Dan Quayle is fighting to protect the values and institutions that create stable, productive families and communities.

Tax Relief for Every American.

America suffers from the greatest tax burden since World War II. Dan Quayle is fighting to lower every American's taxes by 30 percent and to eliminate the marriage penalty and death taxes.

America's Interests.

Dan Quayle is fighting to ensure that America's armed forces are used only when America's vital national security interests are at stake. He believes our principal foreign policy challenges are to confront the growing assertiveness of China and the spread of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile capability to rogue states.

Excellence in Education.

Washington does not know what's best for children. Parents do. Dan Quayle is fighting to shift authority and resources from Washington back to parents and local school districts, while fighting for teacher accountability and parental choice in education.

The Sanctity of Life.

Dan Quayle is fighting the "culture of death" that embraces abortion and euthanasia. As president, Dan Quayle will fight to immediately ban partial birth abortions. He will promote adoption, faith-based pregnancy centers, and other alternatives for mothers and families.

A Stronger Military.

In less than a decade, our military has been cut in half and asked to do more with less. Dan Quayle is fighting to revitalize America's armed forces, build a national missile defense system, and reassert our nation's sovereignty in economic and military affairs.

On the Road to Victory

Uniquely Qualified.

Dan Quayle is the only Republican presidential candidate who has served as a United States Representative, United States Senator and Vice President of the United States, gaining unparalleled experience working on foreign policy and national defense issues. As America's 44th Vice President, he participated in winning the cold war and in critical decisions concerning the Gulf War, the attempted coup against President Aquino of the Philippines, and the defeat of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega.

A Conservative You Can Count On.

Dan Quayle is a conservative of conviction, not convenience. He has never backed down, will never give up, will never give in.
