week that she will seek past sixyears.

[nouncement, Bennett
mented, "In taking this step
[re are just a few basic
aghts that I want to share
1 yOU.
|"First of all, I would like
to understand some of the
ions for my deciding to run
|Congress. I believe quite
|ongly that, despite the
iaraging comments by the
Ident voices of countless
:lactors, the United States is
| always will be a choice
[on - the strongest country
[the face of this earth.
Lever, it doesn t take a genius
lee that we have more than
share of problems. Congress
I its irresponsible actions is
i major problem. The
Umbent congressman from
!hington's Third District is
definitely a part of that
blare. He has consistently
ed for higher taxes,
ttionary programs, and more
more federal control. He
)orted the giveaway of the
rna Canal and he supports
i Boldt Decision. In short, I
't
[a believe that he is
|eSenting the people of the

ground, that brings us to

m. government. Especially
In government! And
And he sure as heck can't solve
it!
"The average guy on the
street knows that a business
can't spend more than it earns
and expect to survive. He knows
that his government isn't really
any different. Everybody seems
to know that except Congress -
and our own so-called
re presentative !
"I have also learned firsthand
the strengths of the profit
motive. My employes are paid
well. But, more importantly,
they share in an aggressive bonus
system. And I want to tell you
that the real growth of my
business is a tribute to their
innovative ideas and their
motivation.
"But contrast that, if you
will, with the attitudes of our
government. If the guy next
door figures out a way to earn
an extra buck, it seems that
Congress immediately dedicates
itself to the task of figuring out
how to tax it away from him. A
major oil company embarked on
a national advertising program
where they solicited ideas for the
solution of the energy shortage.
However, their advertisements
denied the inventors of any such
solutions the right to share
monetarily in the fruits of their
creativity. It isn't surprising that
their campaign generated no
worthwhile iaea!
"But, be assured that this is
one of the most basic attitudes
that will go to Congress with me.
The real strength of America is
its ability to create. To innovate.
Just think where we can go,
what we might achieve, if we
start providing some real
incentives, some real tax cuts for
everybody - and particularly for
those who want to solve the
problems.
"But the mere fact that there
is no real, responsible
representation of the people in
this district - and the fact that
there is a very real opportunity
to be of service - neither of
these facts explains my total
motivations in seeking this
office.
"A total answer for the why
I tam doing this would have to
include a recognition of my
gratitude to this country for the
freedoms that I do have, for the
opportunities that I have
enjoyed. I believe quite strongly
that a person - particularly one
who has enjgyed any degree of
success - has a strong obligation
to serve his country.
"Just as man may accept a
responsibility to provide
one-tenth of his income to
support the church of his choice,
I also believe that a man has a
responsibility to his nation.
"And I pledge, solemnly, to
you that I shall dedicate myself
to the task of putting
government into proper
perspective. I shall work for the
day that the cost of government
is less than the cost of our
churches."

moral standards, emphasis on
materialism, social problems,
