Description

"After 22 years of Democratic misrule it is time to change control of Congress"

TLS as president signed “Jerry Ford,” one page, 7 x 10.5, White House letterhead, September 22, 1976. Letter to Ted Humes, Republican nominee for Congress from Pennsylvania's 12th District, in part: "The American people and the citizens of the 12th District of Pennsylvania need Ted Humes in the U.S. Congress. I also need Ted Humes in the Congress and am pleased and honored to endorse your candidacy. After 22 years of Democratic misrule it is time to change control of Congress. Your election will add a strong and capable Republican voice for those policies which will maintain the strength of America at home and abroad. For two years I have stood for all the people against a vote-hungry, free-spending Democratic Congressional majority. My vetoes of irresponsible legislation have saved the taxpayers billions of dollars. On many important legislative proposals there has been total Congressional inaction. In the 95th Congress I intend to submit a strong and balanced legislative program. It will be based upon my record of steady progress toward prosperity, peace and public trust. Your election to the Congress is vital to make this a reality." In fine condition.
