[Country Music] Mr. Mac: Tomorrow morning at 8 a.m., send it in.

Ron Boone: It's your check for $36 for Orrin Hatch for President.  Here's mine.

Norm Bangerter: And mine.  For 24 great years for Utah.

LaVell Edwards: Here's my $36.  Where's yours?

Ron McBride:  One for me and one for my wife!

Bruce Summerhayes: Just think, if we each send in $36 we can change history.

Mr. Mac: Remember this.  No one cares the way Orrin cares.  Absolutely no one.

Lt. Gov Olene Walker and Jazz Asst. Coach  Phil Johnson: Nobody!

 

 
Background: Hatch is running what he calls a "skinnycat" campaign.  Here's some background on that campaign from the Hatch website:
"On July 1, 1999, the day Senator Hatch announced he was running for President, another candidate announced he had already raised $36 million.  Just before Senator Hatch's press conference officially starting his campaign, Michele Hodgkins of Salt Lake City pulled out her checkbook and wrote a check for $36.  'Now,' she said, 'if one million people do this, you'll have the same amount as the candidate with all the money.'"
