SISTER/BRO. AMERICANS--

10. Plays dirty reelection politics. Freely hands out your tax money and mine to favorites who will insure his return to the White House in 1980.

11. CIA and State Department tell him what can happen if the shah comes here. Willfully goes ahead. Calls for uncritical national unity to consolidate his personal power.

12. He and Brzezinski reincarnate John Foster and Allen Dulles in brinksmanship. Repudiated by tragic event years ago.

13. Is the presidential office too powerful? Is this the man we want in the White House another term?   Henry Ratliff

Sister/Brother Americans--

Life would be tough under the Kremlin. At the same time, it's rough under the Pentagon. Even worse under vast stockpiles of germ warfare, atomic and hydrogen weaponry. Odds for survival are likely as good or better if we keep only police, national-coastguard and disarm unilaterally. If pushed out of some markets by Soviets, we probably can make that up by billions saved on the defense establishment. If U.S. must have a nuclear unbrella, use that of Britain and France.   Henry Ratliff   July 28, 1980

Sister/Bro. Americans--

1. Decentralize everything: government, city, corporate farm, multinational conglomerate.

2. Consume less, work less, produce less, spend less, travel less.

3. Every family have one acre of cow, chickens, orchard, garden, hedgerow, trees.

4. Milk cow by hand, now lawn with manual mower, cultivate garden with handplow, become independent of gasoline driven machine, substitute candlelight for electricity.

5. In tilling the land utilize organic farming: chemical fertilizer is a finite resource, ruins the humus, poisons underground water reservoirs.

6. Read books from public library, sell the car, walk to the local college for courses, degrees, symphony and Euripides.

7. Thus, U.S.A. may save air, soil, water from irreversible contamination.
