VO: As governor, Michael Dukakis vetoed mandatory sentences for drug dealers.

He vetoed the death penalty.

His revolving door prison policy gave weekend furloughs to first-degree murderers not eligible for parole.

While out, many committed other crimes like kidnapping and rape.

And many are still at large.

Now Michael Dukakis says he wants to do for America what he’s done for Massachusetts.

America can’t afford that risk.
