Newt Gingrich
Announces For
Congress Seat
%
tSt 11
A jK\ L
Republican Newt Gingrich
announced in his hometown
of Carrollton on March 22
that he will again seek the
Sixth District Congressional
seat currently held by Rep.
John J. Flynt, Democrat of
Griffin.
The 32-year-old Congres
sional candidate told a crowd
of about 250 supporters that
“I am running because I am
fed up with politicians,
bureaucrats, and special
interests who run this
country at the expense of
working people.”
Gingrich said that govern
ment policies on crime,
taxes, and welfare have been
directed against the working
taxpayer. “Those of us who
work for a living are being
discriminated against,” he
charged. “The tax laws favor
the rich. The welfare laws
favor the poor. The courts
favor the criminal over the
victim.”
This will be Gingrich’s
second race for the Sixth
District seat, after he nearly
beat Rep. Flynt in a close
race two years ago. Gingrich
captured 48.5 percent of the
vote in that election, when
only 2,774 votes separated the
two contenders.
In his announcement
speech, the West Georgia
College teacher called for
change in the American
educational policies which he
said "have been frustrated
for the past decade with at
tempts to teach too much too
easily and without paternal
involvement.” He also com
mented that “the federal
government is more con
cerned with where my
children go to school than
what they learn.”
He indicated that he felt
this country’s retirement
policies would soon be facing
hard times, and that action
must be taken to insure an
adequate pension to present
and future retirees.
Gingrich’s remarks came
during an outdoor “an
nouncement party” held on
Hospital last Monday and
underwent major surgery on
Tuesday.
Miss Lunette Kitchens of
Atlanta is visiting Mrs.
Madge Holifield and other

Georgia Bells
To Ring Out
On July Fourth
The Georgia Chamber of
Commerce has announced
the creation of ‘76 Bells, a
statewide bell-ringing cere
mony slated for Sunday, July
4, 1976 at high noon.
The project was introduced
Tuesday at an organizational
luncheon at the Commerce
Club and marks the first time
in Georgia history that a
bell-ringing ceremony has
been implemented statewide.
As part of the Georgia
Chamber of Commerce’s
Stay & See America In
Georgia program, the 76
Bells project is geared
towards ringing in the
nation’s Bicentennial, re
flecting back on that historic
day 200 years ago.
Project coordinators hope
that the bell-ringing program
will unify Georgians around
a significant symbol of
freedom and rekindle a
common dedication to state
and nation.
Approximately 30 busi
ness, religious and education
organizations have already
volunteered to organize com
munity bell-ringing pro
grams.
An enthusiastic response is
expected, since bell-ringing
has historically signified
important events, dating
back to the first bell
ceremony in 1776.
Participants hope that the
76 Bells event will occur
nationwide, with Georgia
leading the way.
