Tryon
Petitions For Perot
The drive to place the name of
Ross Perot on the November
ballot as an Independent candi
date for President has started.
Hal and Jacquelyn Minick of
Tryon have been named as co-
chairmen of the Polk County
Committee to place Perot on the
ballot.
A great many people have
been disappointed in the nomi
nees who arc presently cam
paigning and national polls
show heavy voter dissatisfa
ction with the nanowing choice.
Perot is known as an effective
business man who gets things
done. Starting from scratch as a
salesman for IBM with $1,000,
he built Electronic Data System
to the leadership of the data
processing industry, then selling
it to General Motors.
He has been more than a
business man. Recipient of the
Jefferson Award for Public
Service, the Winston Churchill
Award, Defense Medal of Dis
tinguished Service and the
Raoul Wallenberg Award, his
other contributions include his
valuable work in getting better
treatment for our soldiers
imprisoned by the Vietnamese.
When two of his employees
were imprisoned by Iran, our
government and State Dept,
were powerless to free them, so
Perot sent in a commando team
of his own and brought them
out. Both done at his own
expense.
Providing we can get him on
the ballot in all 50 states, he
stands ready to spend $100
million of his own money on
the campaign.
Mr. Perot may have the quali
ties of a great American Presi
dent. On the other hand, he may
not. But it will never be known
unless he fights it out with the
party nominees during the cam
paign, and the way to get him
campaigning is to get him on
the ballot.
The Polk County Committee
to Place Perot on the Ballot
opened its office at 127 Palmer
Street, next door to the Video
Plus Store, in Tryon on Mon.,
April 6. It will be open from 11
a.m. to 1 p.m., and from 4 to 6
p.m. Mon. through Fri. for the
next several weeks.
The committee needs help in
getting its share of the 100,000
names needed on petitions by
May 15, and urges voters not
only to sign up themselves but
to take extra petitions and sign
up others. The committee at
present consists of Hal and
Jackie Minick, 859-5162; Bob
and Ruth Boyles, 859-5062;
Sally Wright Conrey,
859-5149; Lili and Peter Hahn,
859-9819; Martha and Baker
Middelton, 859-3179; and Stu
art and Virginia Baldwin,
859-5064. Call them for addi
tional information and join the
committee.
