"WE CAN *

IOE WYATT ON THE ENERGY CRISIS
It affects you every month whan you pay your pas and sloe tricity bills — every
time you stop at a service station.
• It aflocts you and your community whon industries such as Alcoa, PPG, Corn
Products and Aeynolds have to lay ott hnndrods of amployaot because of the
rising cost of energy. Will the same thing happen to Celanose, DnPont, Union
Carbide and Monsanto?
• It atiacts yon when farmers and ranchers have to pay higher prices (or energy
to produce their goods — higher prices that are passed on to yon.
What has our current Congressman dona about the energy crisis? lohn Young's
service on the Ad Hoc Energy Committee was called “Ineffectual'' by Texas'
leading monthly magaiine — and he yielded his time on the floor to another
lawmaker during the crucial House debate on energy.
Does that sound like the kind of Congressman who Is concerned about the
problems of the people he is supposed to represent?
lea Wyatt, however, Introduced and passed in the Texas House a bill to remove
the state sales tax from your utility bills.
We can have a strong and effective voice in Washington — someone who is not
afraid to spoak out ou the vital Issues of the day — someone who will speak up
for the people o< the 14th Congressional District.
WE CAN DO BETTEH WITH IOE WYATT IN THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS.
