Roosevelt Radio Address (1936)
Roosevelt starts off by explaining the reasons for his victory in 1932. He talks about the American people's desire for security in their homes and jobs. He goes as far as to call it a restoration of democracy. He talks about the need for fairer wage's and how his victory is written on the faces of countless people working on sweatshop wages. If he must continue the fight he must be re-elected. He makes several indirect attacks on the pro-business white house of the 1920's going as far to say that a white house run by money is like govt. being run by the mob. He says their is no backdoor to the white house, previously opened for big business during Republican reign, and the propaganda sent down by business owners to their employees.
This address is significant because it shows the dramatic shift in domestic policy brought on by FDR. The pro-business era of the 1920's died with the inauguration of FDR. FDR responded with Hoover's hesitation about giving money to individuals with the extremely reform heavy and far reaching Social Security Act and effectively won the debate. As the republicans had pandered to the big business, Roosevelt would pander to labor and agriculture with large amounts of special-interest legislation.
