You can get virtually everything on both candidates from nptn.org

I got the following information from them a while ago:

CAMPAIGN '92 CANDIDATE INFORMATION NOW AVAILABLE

Complete sets of position papers, speeches, official statements, fact
sheets, etc.  for both President Bush and Governor Clinton are now
available for ftp.

To access, simply do an anonymous ftp to:  nptn.org (192.55.234.52).
(Type:  ftp nptn.org, login as:  anonymous, give your e.mail address
as your password and you are into the site.)

Once you are in, go into the /pub/campaign.92 subdirectory (type:  cd
/pub/campaign.92), type:  ls to list the files, and download away
(type:  ascii, then type:  get <name of file>).  We strongly suggest
the first file(s) you download are INDEX.BUSH and/or INDEX.CLINTON.
It's about the only way of knowing what's where.  When you are
finished, type:  bye to logoff.

All files are official campaign documents, provided by the National
Public Telecomputing Network (NPTN) in cooperation with the
Bush/Quayle and Clinton/Gore campaign committees.  At the moment we
are only able to provide Republican and Democratic information.  (We
are still waiting for a reply from the Libertarians.  tap...  tap...
tap...)

Over the coming weeks we will begin the process of uploading full-text
of the appropriate documents to this newsgroup for those who do not
have ftp capability.  Both the ftp site and the newsgroup files will
be updated each day as new material comes in.


AND NOW A WORD FROM OUR SPONSOR:  This ftp site is brought to you by
the National Public Telecomputing Network (NPTN) as part of its
"Campaign '92" program.

NPTN is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing free, public
access, computerized communications and information systems in cities
throughout the U.S.  and abroad.  (Think of something like National
Public Radio or PBS on television, then substitute community computers
for radio and T.V.  stations, and you have the gist of what we're
trying to do.  To see one of our community computers in action, you
might want to try, for example, the Cleveland Free-Net (telnet:
freenet-in-a.cwru.edu, freenet-in-b.cwru.edu,
freenet-in-c.cwru.edu--then ask yourself why there isn't something
like this at YOUR location.)

For further details we recommend you download the file:
ABOUT.NPTN.TXT or shift over to our organizational ftp area by typing:
cd /pub/info.nptn
