Leach Rally, Bettendorf, Iowa, October 21, 1976
Happy birthday, Jim! Your campaign reminds
me of another young Republican with a new wife
who ran for Congress. I hope you are successful
just as Jerry Ford was in 1948.
I am proud of what my husband has accomplished
during the years, and I am especially proud of what
he is doing as President. Those were dark days when
he came into office. Now the economy is back on
track. The Nation is at peace, and Americans can
respect their government.
The President has had to make some really tough
choices and to act instead of talk about problems
He has shown that he is a man of his word, and he
hasn not been afraid to veto those big spending bills.
He needs more help from Congress to see that your
tax dollars are not wasted, and that's why Jim Leach
should be elected. / Jim shares the President's concern
about spending, and he will represent Iowa well in the
House.
On November 2nd keep the President on the job and
send him some help. Vote for Jim Leach! And, of course,
Vote for Jerry Ford
