A Message To The
Collegiate Community
The majority of Atlanta’s population should have
adequate representation in its government. No people
whose collective minds work in their own best interest
would vote against themselves. To do so would be
committing racial suicide.
There are two men from our community in the mayor’s
race who are considered front runners: a Reginald Eaves
and Andrew Young. There are striking differences
between the two of them that you should know about.
When you have such a choice to make, your decision
should be based on an understanding that Atlanta needs
a mayor whose record reflects an uncompromising
commitment to our progress and well-being, socially,
politically and economically.
Why Andrew Young Should Not Be Mayor of Atlanta:
—He makes decisions only when his back is against
the wall. “I was really looking for a reason not to run for
mayor... I couldn’t find any, so I decided to do it. That’s
how I make decisions. If I could have avoided it, I would
have. But then, if I could have avoided going into the
ministry, I would have. If I could have avoided getting
married, I wouldn’t have gotten married... I have a very
negative decision making process.” (Andrew Young,
Atlanta Journal, August 31, 1981).
—He abandons the people when something more
lucrative is dangled in front of him. Remember the 5th
Congressional District Seat which you worked so hard to
put him in? He left for a position at the United Nations,
was forced to resign from it, insisted on supporting the
man who forced him to leave, and now the same man
professes to be supporting Andy for mayor!
—His claim for being able to attract international busi
ness to Atlanta is faulty, as he no longer has influence or
connections in Washington, D.C. Besides, he has held a
consulting position with the city for some time now, and
has failed to produce those same results to date...
Why You Should Support and Vote for A. Reginald Eaves
For Mayor of the City of Atlanta:
—He significantly decreased crime in this city, includ
ing the raping of A.U. Center students, and stopped
police brutality in all parts of the city, as Atlanta’s first
Commissioner of Public Safety...
—He created an atmosphere of trust and respect
between the police department and the community...
—He sponsored more progressive legislation in county
government than any other county commissioner... from
affirmative action initiatives, to dangerous weapon
control, to support for Grady Hospital...
— He has always maintained and nurtured his roots in
our community and has never abandoned his responsibil
ity to the people...
—He is a proven, experienced, effective administrator,
a leader and a trusted, positive, decision maker...
—He’s as strong as a mighty fortress — he’s got back
bone — he won’t abandon you — he can deal with the
crunch that is coming as a result of the Reagan budget
cuts — he WANTS to be your mayor — and he CAN win —
with your help!
VOTE YOUR CONSCIOUS
ELECT COMMISSIONER A. REGINALD EAVES, MAYOR
