IIM Who Will Vote for Schmitz? By JOHN STEINBACHER Millions of people this year will cast their votes for John Schmitz and the American Party Why? Because they believe in principle, Because they want a militarily secure nation. Because they want safety on their streets and in their homes, Because they want the federal government to keep its nose out of their local classrooms, Because they don't want their children forcibly bused to achieve racial balance, Because they weary of supporting of people on welfare and believe that those who work should live better than those who will not work, Because they believe that this Nation hai a destiny and that this Republic is too young to die, Because they are fed up with the coddling of vicious criminals at the expense of yourself, and your neighbors, Because they are tired of seeing their taxes poured down foreign ratholes, with no evidence that the billions thus expended have bought us a single friend, Because they believe that this government should support its fighting men with everything required to win its wars or else keep the fighting men out of the war zones.

Because they believe in our Constitution. For years they have complained that the other two parties not represent them- In 1972 they will not have to cast ir ballots for the so-called "lesser of two evils.".
