The 3rd Congressional District
Needs the

MONTEIRO
PROGRAM

Anthony Monteiro's program, outlined on
the following page, meets the needs of the
overwhelming majority of people in the 3rd
Congressional District—Black, Puerto Rican,
white—all of whom suffer from blighted housing,
poor schools, unemployment, high taxes, drugs
and gangs.

To end these outrageous conditions, we
need to organize a united struggle. We must
destroy the old fears that keep us divided.
Racism, in particular, bars the way to progress.

Anthony Monteiro, the Communist candidate
in our Congressional district, understands this.
He has proven it time and again by his actions.
As a Black citizen of North Philadelphia who has
worked tirelessly for Black Liberation, Monteiro
has seen the relationship between the needs
of Black people and the needs of **all** the
people in the 3rd C.D. He has struggled on issues
that have united people of all neighborhoods,
colors, and religions.

Now is the time to join hands with Anthony
Monteiro and all our sisters and brothers across
our District. We share the same problems and
the same goals. We want to live in Peace! We
want decent homes, respect, good schools, and
a future for our children! Unity in struggle
can win!

VOTE FOR ANTHONY MONTEIRO,
Communist Candidate in the 3rd Congressional District
