Who is Harris Blake?
Why Should
He Be Our Congressman?
BLAKE BELIEVES:
Inflation, Cost-of-Living: I have nothing but praise
for the job that President Reagan has done in this
area in less than two years. However, the job
is far from done. Groceries are still too high. Gas
oline is still too high. Rent and house payments are
still too high. Until the federal government leams
that it must live within its means, it will continue to
be a major problem. That is why I favor a Constitu
tional Amendment requiring a balanced budget
except in times of extreme emergencies.
Harm Blake golfing with former Conortuman Earl
Ruth and former Gov. James E. Holahouaer, Jr.
Social Security: As your Congressman, I will do
everything in my power to preserve and protect our
nation's Social Security System. Those politicians
who play upon the fears of our older citizens should
be taken out behind the bam, and have their hide
tanned.
Budget Cuts, Defense and Social: National
defense must have our top priority. Without it, all
other issues lose significance. We must see that our
dollars are spent for the maximum effectiveness,
but most of all, we must have a superior national
defense. On social spending, 1 believe the federal
government has assumed responsibility for many
areas of social spending that rightly belong to state
and local governments.
Unemployment: I am a small businessman, and
employ between 40 and oO people. In January, our
company had to lay off several employees. We've
never had to do that before, and it was a terribly
tough decision. 1 should add that we arc in the build
ing supply business, and this is not the best of times
for builders. Every effort must be made to get in
terest rates down, and the economy on the move
again. Free enterprise can solve the unemploy
ment problem if given the chance by government.
The President's Tax Cut: I totally support the
President's three-year tax cut program, if we don't
cut taxes, the federal government will continue to
grow without ever recognizing the problem of
growing deficits.
Abortion: I believe that abortion is morally wrong.
1 do not choose to force my beliefs on others.
However, as your Congressman, I will be opposed
to governmental funding of abortions.
School Prayer: I believe that prayer is a natural
thing for a human being to dp, and voluntary prayer
in public schools should be permitted. Based on
my own experience, a once-weekly chapel program
was beneficial to all students. I have never known
anyone injured in any way by prayer. In fact, just the
opposite.

recant Save the Cape Ha tt eras Light house"
meeting.
Agriculture: I totally support this District's tobacco
farmers and tobacco industry. I grew up on farm,
and most of my family is still involved in farming.
Agriculture will have a staunch supporter when
I am your Congressman.

HEFNER VS. YOU
In 1975, your current Congressman's first year in
Washington, D C., Mr. Hefner voted himself a pay
hike to $44,600 per year.
In 1977, Mr. Hefner was a little more tricky. He
voted againsf a measure to defeat a 29% pay hike
for himself. Mr Hefner got what he wanted: A raise
to $57,500.
In 1979, Mr. Hefner voted for another pay in
crease. This time to $60,662 per year.
But, 1981 was his big year:
Mr. Hefner voted himself a $75 a day tax cut (up
to $19,650 annually that he doesn't have to pay
taxes on); made the tax cut retroactive for him
self, and then voted AGAINST President Reagan's
tax cut for you, the citizen, the voter.
Can we afford Mr. Hefner anymore?
