Choose Principle

Lyndon LaRouche spoke to the following effect to the LaRouchePAC Policy Committee on Oct. 17. Don't just give the name; find what the cause is, and in this case, the cause is these principles. What you have to do, is you have to use the principle as such, and this is often not done, or it's done badly, in election campaigns. The point here is to get the election of the principle. The election of the principle, and let the principle define what the action is. Alexander Hamilton, for example: that's perfect. He's dead, right? But you can still use him as a leader, by saying, he did this, and now, I've done a supporting effort on the same issue with my "Four Laws." But the point is, you've got to get the principle in there. It's not the person; it's the principle. And the principle is carried by the person. If the thing is done competently, that is what works. The point is, Hamilton's tradition and his policies, are policies that should be the Presidential policies of the United States. And the point is what we're proposing on the use of my name, is a feasible idea. I'm just qualifying what makes it a feasible idea. What you have is a policy: Alexander Hamilton's policy, as expressed now, in current times; that's what you want. Use my name, to emphasize Alexander Hamilton's name as being the figure which should be the guiding figure for the entire nation. I can make it clear; I can do it. That I know how to do. Most people don't; they get jammed up on interpretation. He was the leading figure in American history, in the earliest part. And during the Twentieth Century, I have been a leading figure in the United States. I am now saying that the Alexander Hamilton law, as expressed in the following terms, in my Four Laws, is what has to be done for the nation. And we've already got the policy on the books, because we've got the law that was presented in my name, more than two years ago. And that law is the law that should be the guiding law for the defining of the law of the United States as such. Say Alexander Hamilton, and Hamilton's law and accomplishments are the things we point to, - then we use what I have done, which was done just a little over two years ago. I defined that afresh, which nobody else has done, except in my name. That's the way to look at it. What I said is very simple. I, in 2014, presented a case, a policy case, for the people of the United States. That's what I did. No one else has done exactly what I did. However, I'm not assured to be running around indefinitely. The point is simply to get a policy, a policy which in this case has existed, and this is to be presented as the policy. It's not a matter of personality as such; it's a matter of identifying the policy. And what I did over two years ago, is exactly what the policy should be. Nothing less, nor anything more.
