Some say it doesn't matter whom you elect to public office — all politicians are crooks and politics is bad business. Others say they want to elect someone to do their politics for them so they don't have to bother with the problems. Lynn argues that the only way our political system can be made to work well is for people to band together around the concerns they share — form groups, organize, petition, harass and make their viewpoints known. The Jondahl campaign for the 59th District House seat is carried on by people who have a variety of points of view on many issues, people who disagree about a lot of things, people who fight on opposite sides of public decisions, but people who share a common understanding of politics. People for Jondahl insist that their political activity be ACCESSIBLE to people of all races, all ages, and every economic level; OPEN to creative ideas and solutions from any sources; RESPONSIVE to the desires of the majority as well as to the rights of the minority; and VIABLE, so as to make the system work for the people rather than for the special interests.

He is calling for an immediate end to all U.S. involvement in Indochina. military Frank Kelley publically supported the Senate's child care bill. As Attorney General he ruled against a Michigan law that denied unemployment benefits to pregnant women who were willing and able to work. Frank Kelley is pledged to closing corporate tax loopholes. He believes the economy can be stimulated by increasing the people's consuming power — through a public jobs program and tax relief for low and middle income citizens. Frank Kelley's conduct of his office was characterized by Rpbert t. Kennedy as follows: "He demonstrates good sense, careful reflection, and assume the responsibilites of willingness to leadership vigorously." The people of Michigan have affirmed this opinion by electing Frank Kelley in 1962, and then him by increasingly wide re-electing margins in 1964, 1966, and 1970. Frank Kelley's tenure as Attorney General has been noted for his emphasis on the "rule of law" as the guiding spirit of government. He created the first state Attorney General's organized crime unit in the United States. He has spearheaded aggressive attacks on organized crime and corruption, having filed more petitions for grand jury investigations than any other attorney general in Michigan's history. He headed the legal battle to bring meaningful reapportionment to Michigan on the basis of one man — one vote, achieving complete victory in the United States Supreme Court. Frank Kelley was an early leader in the fight against water and air pollution, and his leadership was recognized by election to the chairmanship of the prestigious Great Lakes Commission. He has developed a nationally • recognized consumer protection program and has rendered historic opinions broadening and protecting civil rights and civil liberties. His outstanding efforts were recognized by the fifty attorneys general of the United States when he was elected president of the National Association of Attorneys General, the first official from Michigan to be so honored. elect FRANK KELLEY to the U.
