NEW YORK, Sept. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- The following are remarks on crime by
Brian Sandoval as prepared for delivery at the 2004 Republican National
Convention:
Thank you. It is an honor to be with you tonight.
Not long ago, my wife and I were blessed with the birth of our third
child. And so I come before you not only as an attorney general, but as a
father.
A father intent on preserving the American dream for my children, and the
children of countless others.
At home and at work, I have accepted the same obligation embraced by
President Bush: keeping America's most vulnerable citizens - our children -
safe from harm.
President Bush made fighting crimes against children a top priority,
swiftly signing into law the PROTECT Act, the most important child protection
legislation in 20 years.
Prosecutors finally have the tools they need to go after criminals who
prey upon kids, including serious penalties to keep them in prison where they
belong.
Our laws have been updated to deal with people who lurk in the shadows of
the Internet to lure children for sexual abuse. And we have tough new laws on
the books to fight child pornography.
Thanks to the leadership of our President, America is safer for our
children.
It's safer for the rest of us too.
While working diligently to prevent terrorism, our Commander in Chief has
remained equally dedicated to the important fight against domestic crime, and
his strategy is succeeding.
From Project Safe Neighborhoods to the President's fight against identity
theft, from his anti-drug strategy to his plan to eradicate gun crime in
America, this President has demonstrated an ability to lead.
And deliver results.
Violent crime -- at a thirty-year low.
Teen drug abuse is declining across a wide front.
Federal gun prosecutions have hit record highs.
For America to fulfill its promise as the land of opportunity, each of us
must be safe from crime. President Bush has made great strides in making
America safer.
With him in the White House, we can focus on pursuing our dreams without
fear. Our strength as a nation lies in the fact that America's promise is
passed safely and equitably from generation to generation.
Its fulfillment requires courage and conviction - qualities this President
has demonstrated time and time again.
Our charge, our duty, is to ensure the American experience for our
children -- to ensure that we never awaken from the American Dream.
God bless you and good night.
