Dr. Fulani Leads Race As First Person
To Receive Funds For Presidential Race
BY LARKY A. MTII.I.
('■Iiltiil Ni'Wk Nrrvin1
WASHINGTON. D. C. - Dr.
I.enoru B. Fulani. who is seeking the
nomination of five independent
political parties, has become the first
1W2 presidential candidate to be
declared eligible by the Federal
Election Commission to receive
federal matching campaign funds,
the FEC announced this week.
Fulani. whose campaign
committee is based in New York City,
has declared she is seeking the
nomination of the New Alliance
Parly, the Peace and Freedom Party
in California, the Illinois Solidarity
Party, the Liberty Union Party of
Vermont and the United Citizens
Parly in South Carolina. During her
l»HH campaign for President she
received primary matching funds
totalling $H22,IOfl.34, FEC officials
said.
While Dr. Fulani is getting a
headstart on Democrats and
Republicans, two other African
American presidential aspirants are
still being considered in the nation's
two major political parties. Although
Rev. Jesse Jackson has decided not to
enter the l»»2 White House
r
sweepstakes, yet, Virginia Gov. L.
Douglass Wilder is among the
Democratic front-runners and
nationul newspaper television
commentator Tony Brown became
the first journalist candidate to
challenge the Grand Old Party with
his plan to organize the New
Republicans.
In announcing his 12-point New
Republican platform recently, Brown
urged the GOP to drop its "southern
strategy" of apparently sacrificing
increasing black voters for declining
conservative white voters.
Meanwhile, arch-conservative
columnist-white House advisor
Patrick Buchahan suddenly disclosed
plans W^Nscbitfe; a presidential
candidate to’faftty right-wing voters
to block President George Bush's
efforts to shift to liberal policies.
Jackson still plans to mobilize the
eight million voters-plus he attracted
in the 1984 and 1988 presidential
elections in a New Majority
campaign as the leader of the
National Rainbow Coalition and the
symbolic U. S. Senator from the
District of Columbia with no pay, no
staff support and no vote. However,
he has already secured pledges of
support for full statehood for D. C.
from the six Democratic presidential
candidates and hundreds of
legislators despite Bush’s opposition.
To become eligible for federal
matching campaign funds,
presidential candidates must raise a
threshold amount of *100,000 by
collecting *5,000 in 20 different states
In amounts of no more than *250 from
any individual. Other requirements
for eligibility include agreeing to an
overall spending limit in the
campaign, abiding by spending limits
in each state, using public funds only
for legitimate campaign-related
expenses, keeping financial records
and permitting an extensive
campaign audit.
Based upon documents filed by the
Fulanic campaign in October, FEC
auditors verified qualifying
matchable amounts in 20 states :
California, Connecticut, the District
of Columbia, Georgia, Illinois,
Indiana, Massachusetts, Maryland,
Michigan, Minnesota, North
Carolina, Ohio, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas,
Virginia, Vermont, ■ Washington and
Wisconsin.

One of the most trying aspects of being a
parent is encouraging your child to make the
right choices — not just to follow along. In
today’s complex society, growing up involves
more pressures and choices than ever before.
Studies show that young people do things
because their friends do. Smoking is one
of those things.
We don’t want children and teenagers
to smoke.
That’s why the tobacco industry is offering
a booklet aimed at helping parents meet the
challenge of providing their children with the
tools to resist peer influence. The booklet,
“Tobacco: Helping Youth Say No,” is
designed to keep parents and children
communicating about important issues like
smoking.
To continue its longstanding commitment
that smoking is not for young people, the
tobacco industry also has strengthened its
marketing code and is supporting state
legislation to make it tougher for young
people to buy cigarettes. We are also
working with retailers for strict compliance
with state laws prohibiting sales of cigarettes
to minors.

Youth Say No,” return
