It could mean the difference between Jimmy Carter and Gerald Ford. WToo many have had to suffer at the hands of a political and economic elite who have shaped decisions and never had to account for mistakes nor to suffer from injustice. When unemployment prevails, they never stand in line looking for a job. When depri vation results from a confused welfare system, they never do without food or clothing or a place to sleep. When the public schools are inferior or torn by strife, their children go to exclusive private schools.** Jimmy Carter made that statement j when he accepted the Democratic nomina tion for President. If it hadn't been for Black support, Jimmy Carter would never have gotten that far. For it was Blacks who put Jimmy Carter over the top in the Democratic pri maries. Because he understands our needs. And because he'll do something about a government that ignores them. Now we have a chance to make a differ ence again. In the general election Novem ber 2nd. It can mean the difference be tween politics as usual or real leadership for a change. We can drift along with an economy that's choking the working people of this country. Or we can elect Jimmy Carter—a leader who will check inflation and put America back to work again. We can continue with a lack of justice in this country. Or we can elect Jimmy Carter i-x H —a leader who m doesn't think big shot crooks should go free while the poor ones · go to jail. We can suffer through a welfare sys tem that's bloated Iand confused. Or we can elect Jimmy Carter — a leader who will straighten out the welfare system and make it fair. «ww*We can struggle with a government that does nothing to help the cities. Or we can elect Jimmy Carter—a leader who will move to relieve an unemployment rate among Blacks , that approaches 17%. We can continue to have a government that criers to the ^special interests, the powerful and the privileged. Or we can have a government * of the people, by the people, and for the people. A government led by Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale. It can't happen without your help. That's why it's so important for you to register.
