One of the finest things about our form of Government
is that it gives the people a chance to shape their own destiny.

They don't always take advantage of that chance like they should.

Look at what happened in Nineteen Forty-six.
Almost two-thirds of the voters in the United States stayed home;
and the other one-third elected that Republican Congress
you've heard so much about.
I'm glad to say that Arizona didn't have any part in that.
You sent some fine Democrats to the Congress
just like you had been doing. And if it hadn't been
for the battle put up by your Senators and Representatives,
and other Democrats like them, the Republican controlled
80th Congress would have done a lot more harmful things
it
than they did. The Republicans are still saving up a lot
of special interest measures, hoping that in the next Congress
there won't be so many Democrats to protect the people.
