People for Ford Rally, Olympia, Washington, October 8, 1976
We have twenty-five days until the election and alot
of hard work ahead for all of us. But with the help of
People for Ford volunteers, Jerry Ford will stay on the
job he is doing so well!
You remember those dark days when he came into office.
We were all depressed about our country. The economy was in
bad shape, and other countries were uneasy about all the
confusion in America. That's all changed now, because
President Ford provided strong and steady leadership. He has
accomplished much in two years with tough decisions and hard
work
not with smiles and empty promises.
We don't know what the next four years will bring our
country, but we know what kind of leader Jerry Ford is.
The message you can help carry to the people of
Washington state is that Jerry Ford offers performance, not
promises.
And President Ford is going to need the help of Republicans
like John Spellman as Governor to keep common sense in the
government.
He cannot there -debating)

Spellman, a graduate of Georgetown Law School,

Seattle is located. He was first elected in 1967
as one of three commissioners of King County. When
the local government was re-organized in 1969, he

in November, 1973. He is 49, and he won the GOP

LORADO
FORD LIBRARY & GERALD
FOR
PRESIDENT FORD
THE MAN:
It's no wonder to Coloradans that Gerald Ford is at home in our Rocky
Mountains
that he understands the quiet strength of Colorado out-
doors. Columnist Jack Anderson says of Ford, the man, "There is nothing
suave or subtle about Gerald Ford - none of the sophisticated manner-
isms which Americans are inclined to distrust." Whether skiing in Vail
or greeting foreign leaders in Washington, Gerald Ford maintains a clear
sense of priorities. His family has always been his top priority. Said son
Jack at the Republican State Convention in Fort Collins, "My Dad made
good decisions in Congress. He's made good decisions for the country.
And, most important, he's always made good decisions for our family."
It's no secret in this part of the country. Gerald Ford is a man with qual-
ities Westerners know how to appreciate. Tough but kind. Informal but
direct.
HE'S MAKING US PROUD AGAIN !
THE LEADER:
Gerald Ford took on the presidency - the toughest job in the world - at
the toughest time in our history. And he's proved he's tough enough to
get the job done. The October 4th TIME says of President Ford, "He is
sound, solid, steady
His composure is unlikely to crack under the strain
of crisis." Former Colorado Governor John Love says of President Ford,
"He's the kind of leader who listens. He has the important decision-mak-
ing attributes of experience and sound judgment. Yet, never in his politi-
cal career has he been carried away with his own importance." Even his
opponents recognize Gerald Ford as a fighter, a determined leader who
understands what the relationship of Congress to the presidency ought to
be. As President, Ford has used his power of veto and the knowledge
gained from serving in Congress to win a series of victories for common
sense. From the peaks to the plains, Coloradans agree
Gerald Ford is
the best qualified leader for our country.
HE'S MAKING US PROUD AGAIN !
THE FUTURE:
President Ford believes in three basic principles of primary importance
to the future direction of government in our state and nation: less gov-
ernment interference in our lives, more efficient and less costly govern-
ment, greater local control in government. His accomplishments in the
past two years tell us a lot about what to expect of him in the next four.
He has led us on a steady economic course out of the recession. He has
cut inflation in half. He has increased employment by 3.8 million in the
last year. Coloradans know they can believe President Ford when he says,
"The best tax reform is tax reduction." They know they can trust him
to really hold down the cost of government. They know he means it when
he says, "We will not promise more than we can deliver, and we will de-
liver all that we promise." The Ford-Dole team will lead us in building a
new dimension of freedom for the future that will allow all Americans to
share equally in the advantages of a free society.
HE'S MAKING US PROUD AGAIN !
PRESIDENT FORD ON THE ISSUES:
TAXES
for every dollar saved in cutting the growth of the Federal budget we can have an added dollar of
Federal tax reduction."
"I propose increasing the personal tax exemption from $750 to $1000."
JOBS
"The Federal Government can create conditions and incentives for private business and industry to make
more jobs."
"
EDUCATION
I am totally dedicated to quality education - and to the principle that public education is
predominately the concern of the community in which people live."
DEFENSE
"I am convinced that adequate spending for national defense is an insurance policy for peace we
cannot afford to be without."
AGRICULTURE
"We will never use the bounty of America's farmers as a pawn in international diplo-
macy. There will be no embargoes!"

On Friday night, you will attend a reception for
women leaders. Patti describes them as having been
recruited from the local business and professional
groups, and the hope is they will be Ford volunteers
and leaders. You will mingle informally.
**There will be a proposal on the ballot in Colorado
to repeal the state's ERA and to rescind approval of the
national Equal Rights Amendment. ERA supporters should
vote "no." A recent poll in the Denver Post showed that
ERA supporters are ahead. The proposal is Number Six on
the ballot.
On Saturday, you will meet Ford volunteers who are
passing out campaign literature at the Colorado-Nebraska
game and then attend part of the game.
Nebraska is ranked fifth in the National standings.
Both teams are in the Big Eight. Colorado has won three
and lost one. Nebraska has won three and tied one. This
is the first conference game of the season for both.
Politics
Neither Senator, both Democrats, or the Democratic governor
is up for re-election. The House delegation has three
Democrats and two Republicans. The two GOP incumbents,
Jim Johnson and Bill Armstrong, are expected to win, but
Johnson could have a tough race, because of an independent
in the contest. Johnson, who represents the 4th (Wayne
Aspinall's old district), was first elected in 1972. This
district encompasses both the East and West Slope of Colorado,
and the environment is an important issue. Armetrong has
no strong opponent.
In the 1st district, which is Denver, the RCC thinks
it is running its best candidate yet against Patricia
Schroeder. He is Don Friedman, a state representative.
In the 2nd, which combines suburban Denver and Boulder
(home of the University of Colorado), freshman Timothy Wirth
has received alot of national attention. His GOP opponent
is Ed Scott, a radio owner. Wirth's 1974 opponent was
Don Brotzman, and the district is considered Republican.

steel producers and grain millers.
The city has a black population of 21 percent
and an ethnic population of 28 percent. The two
largest ethnic groups are the Poles and the Italians.
The mix of blacks and ethnics has produced racial
tensions. The city also has a large Catholic population.
Buffalo teachers recently went back to the
classroom after a four-week strike, which delayed
implementation of a school desegregation plan. There
is busing, and it is not being well-received.
One of the major reasons for Buffalo's financial
problems is a heavy welfare load. The city is trying
legal methods to try to get more state and federal
money to help with welfare. The welfare tally also
includes the unemployment payments.
Politics
Senator Jim Buckley is trying for a second term against
Patrick Moynihan, who won a hotly contested Democratic primary.
This is a tight race with Moynihan favored. The attached
article tells about a recent Moynihan incident in Buffalo.
Four Congressional districts involve sections of
Buffalo. The 36th includes Niagaza Falls and parts of
suburb Erie County and a few blocks of Buffalo. The District,
formerly represented by Republican Henry Smith, is considered
a basically Republican area, but the Democratic incumbent,
John LaFalce won comfortably in 1974. Dr. Ralph Argen,
an internist, is the Republican candidate. He has raised
lots of money, is considered a good candidate, and may
have a good chance of defeating LaFalce.
The 37th is the main Buffalo district, and it is
heavily Democratic. The incumbent, Henry Nowak, was first

voted for McGovern, he's a solid favorite to be re-elected.

THE MOOD AND SPIRIT OF GENERAL CONVENTION
On September 26, Canon Chapman's sermon focused on the Spirit of God moving through
the mood and process of the recent General Convention of our Church, and at the discussion
group a panel of those who attended the Convention spoke in the same vein, seeking to convey
a sense of the tone in which our fellow Episcopalians sought to deal with issues which were
potentially divisive.
At last Sunday's services we distributed copies of the final issue of the General Convention
daily, which summarized not only the main events and decisions in Minneapolis, but also sought
to communicate the mood and spirit of that historic meeting. (Extra copies of this paper are
available in the Church Narthex and the Church office.)
The House of Bishops' Pastoral Letter, issued immediately after the Convention, seeks to
convey the urgency of maintaining that commitment to unity in the Spirit. It states:
"At Minneapolis we accepted the Proposed Book of Common Prayer as a companion
to our present Prayer Book for the next three years. We also voted to open the priesthood
