Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Republicans Ramp Up Anti-Clinton Rhetoric

HeadlineAug 03, 2000

Making a mid-convention pivot from unity to campaign warfare, the Republicans ramped up their anti-Clinton rhetoric last night as the 2,000 party delegates nominated George W. Bush to the nation’s highest office. Vice-presidential candidate Dick Cheney closed out the evening at the First Union Center with an acceptance speech that rebuked the Clinton and Gore administration time and again. Cheney said on the first hour of the first day he, George W. Bush, will restore decency and integrity to the Oval Office.
