For Democratic presidential candidate Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr., last week's New Hampshire primary was only the beginning of what he hopes will be a nationwide movement to reform American society.
In a conference call with college reporters from across the nation yesterday afternoon, LaRouche, whose campaign has been little noticed, attacked the "political machines" that are pushing Al Gore '69 and George W. Bush to what he called the inevitable nominations of their parties. LaRouche defended his personal record and called for college students to "turn this nation around."
He emphasized that improved education of children and the vigor of youth would be the forces to bring change to the country.
"It's up to you," LaRouche said. "You've got the energy and youth."
LaRouche, who's in his seventh presidential campaign, encourages senior citizens to work with these students, in an effort to combine energy and wisdom.
"You have the ability to be the catalyst to bring together different groups of people," he told the student reporters. "That's the only chance this nation has."
LaRouche said the United States should ensure that all high school graduates have the same standard of education and engage in "cognitive learning"--where they discover ideas on their own--rather than simply regurgitating facts.
He said the government needs to reach out to the many "lost souls out there."
