FARRELL GIVES MEDICARE SPEECH


care Supporter, And l Have Made
II My Goal To See To 1t That
Medicare Becomes a Reality.
Am The Man Who Conducted
The Only, Valid, Non-Partisan,
Signed, And Comprehensive Poll
Ever Taken Here In MaricOpa
County On Medicare And The
Peace Corps. Over 100 Volunteers
Workers Took Part In My Poll.
No Tricky Loaded Or Confusing
Questions Were Asked. Just do
You Favor Medical Care For The
Aged Under Social Security, And
Do You Favor The Peace Corpse
Yes Or No. Straight Forward Ques-
tions We're Asked If My Poll Had
Not Shown COnclusively That 83
Per Cent OF All Democrats Polled,
And 70 Per Cent of Both Parties
Polled Vigorously Supported Both
Medicare And The Peace Corps. ).
And Genuinely Wanted Medicare. !.
Might Not Be In This Congress
sional Race Today!
But Ladies And Gentlemen; The
People Do Want. And Need, Medi-
care!!! 73 Per Cent Of All The
People Questioned Said That They
Were In Favor OF The Bill! They
Do Want It, & / Am Running!!!!
l Will Win, And You Will Have. :.
Medicare!!!!
Let There Be No Doubt. My
Poll Is The Proof And 1t is Backed
Up By The Letters To The Editors
In The Papers And 1t Is Supported
By The Number Of People We
Have Here Tonight! The Incum-
bent Right-Wing Congressman Says
/ Am Wrong. WHAT Do You Say?
Do We Want Medicare????
We Stand Today, In The Beginn-
ing Of The New Frontier. We Have
Elected A Pres. Who Is The EX-
ponent Of The Ideals And Philoso-
ply To Which We Must Dedicate
Ourselves If We Are To Have A
Greater Nation. The King-Ander-
son Bill. Before 1t Was Ravaged
In The Appeasement Of A Coalition
Congress, Represented The Type Of
Legislation We Are Going To Have
If We Are To Continue To Move
America Forward! 1t Was A Pro-
gram Designed To Give Security
And Success To These Elderly Citi-
zens In Need, By Means Of A Tried
And Proven System, That Of Social
Security. This Ssytem Has Been
Proven Actuarially Sound For Over
27 Years. 1t Is The Only Vehicle
By Which Such Vital Legislation
AS The Medicare Program Can
Be Effected. This Is A Measure
Which We Must Have And We Must
Have 1t Under Social Security.
President Kennedy Has Had This
Program Fully Researched And 1t
Is Fully Endorsed, AS Have Prov
en-, By All But A Few Wealthy
Special Interest Groups. This Is
A Program Which Has Been Sub
jected To More Malignment And
More Outright Distortion Than
Any Other Presidential Proposal
Since Social Security Itself Well
The Lobbyist And Ultra-Conserva-
tive Big-Shots We're Wrong About
Social Security, And They Are
This Is A Program Which We
vitality Need And We Need 1t Be-
cause We Have Elderly People
Going Without Care, Simply Be-
cause There Are Not Funds Avail
able!!!
We Need Medicare Right Here
In Maricopa County, Which l Will
Represent. We Need 1t Because
There Are Over $4,000 Men And
Women Over Sixty-Five Years OLD
Right Here In Our County,! We
Need 1t Here Because The Census
Records Show That The Mean
Average Income Per Family In
The Sun-City, youngstown Area Is
Only $1,973 Per Year!! Now If You
Are Trying To Live On That
Amount Of Money, And You Get
Sick Or Have An Accident, How
Are You Going To Pay For The
HCare You Need, Especially If
You Have A Long Stay In The
Hospital Or Need A Nurse For A
While? Barry Goldwater And John
Rhodes Say That Every Man And
Woman Should Take Car Of His
Or Her Own Parents. i Say
That's Fine If Your Name Hap
pens To Be GoldWater Or Rhodes!
But Most Of Us Are Just Farrell's
| And Jones And Smiths!! We Try,
And We Revere Our Elders, But
We Simply Don't Have The Money!
Now Where Is The Money Going
To Come From?? Is Barry Gold
water Going To Paw Our Bills?
