Show The Paper That Dares To Take Page 4 The Utah Independent May 27, 1976 SAMPLE BITS IN THE ENDLESS LIST OF LOST FREEDOMS A Stand A MARKETING BLITZ TO SELL ERA i FEE, INC., Irvington-on-Hudso- Eagle Forum Phyllis Schlafly New York n, You have lost the freedom of choice over that part of your property taken to: pay farmers for not growing wheat, cotton, peanuts, corn, rice, tobacco; support prices of cheese, butter, and countless other items at levels beyond the reach of willing customers so that costly surpluses accumulate in storage; pay for urban renewal and other rehabilitation projects in communities across the nation; provide power and light at less than market rates to residents of the Tennessee Valley; subsidize socialistic foreign governments and beam socialistic propaganda all over the world; cover the costs of other government gifts and loans to politically selected beneficiaries at home and abroad. For these and many other welfare state projects, you have no choice but to help pay. If you run a railroad, you have lost your freedom to refuse to pay for work not done. (Featherbedding) If you are an employee, you have, in millions of instances, lost your freedom not to join a labor union. You are compelled to belong! Whoever you are, you have lost your freedom to deliver first class mail for pay. While foreign governments may obtain U.S.A. gold in exchange for their goods, you, as a citizen of the U.S.A., have lost your freedom to do so and, with a measurable loss of control over governmental inflationary practices. If you wish to set yourself up in the business of extracting teeth, prescribing for sore throats, gout, and other physical ailments, designing houses or bridges and so on, cutting hair and a host of other activities, you have lost your freedom to do so. You must first get a license from the government. Millions of employees have not only lost their freedom to bargain individually with their employer but also have lost their freedom to select their own bargaining unit. Thousands of employers have lost their freedom to hire or fire their own workers. Thousands of employers have lost the freedom to deal directly with their own employees. Thousands of employers have lost their freedom to their work; even though they can get it done at a price lower than by their own employees. Etcetera, etcetera, etcetera at infinitum. sub-contra- ct PIGS And Science ed this ad: (1) The pro-ERAe- obviously rs have no good arguments for ERA else they would not have to resort to such owious lies. (a) Mrs. Bunker says: My Social Security benefits are lower. That is false. Mrs. Bunker will be able to draw Social Security benefits based on Archies earnings even tho Mrs. Bunker never held a paying job in her life! Social Security gives benefits to the homemaker even tho she never pays into the system. If ERA is ratified, Mrs. Bunker will lose her Social Security benefits because she would have to be equal with men, and men dont get benefits unless they have a job and pay into the system. (b) Mrs. Bunker says: My life insurance rates are higher. That is false. Call any life insurance agent and check. Women pay lower life insurance rates than men of the same age because women live longer. Trust in the Lord with all thine hear; and lean not upon thy own understanding.

High-pricprofessional talent and plenty of money for TV have gone into this campaign. This effort is considered so newsworthy that it is receiving much free promotio space in newspapers anu magazines. But this ad blitz clearly shows why we will continue to defeat ERA. A sample ad states: As Edith Bunker, I don't have equal rights. As Jean Stapleton, I dont either.... Now lets analyze Act of 1972. If Mrs. Bunker knows of any such jobs that pay less to a woman, she should report it to the government not run ads. THE LESSON OF ALL THIS IS: Dont get your legal advice from Mrs. Archie Bunker! (2) This ad clearly shows the false illusions about ERA. If Mrs. Bunker thinks that ERA will force Archie to be courteous, to give her new dignity, or to help her with the dishes or the housework, she is in for a rude awakening. ERA will not improve personal behavior. ERA only affects the laws. Mrs. Bunkers problems are her own lack of and her willingness to be treated like a doormat. The U.S. Constitution is not the cure for the problems of a woman who had let her mind, spirit, and figure get flabby. self-estee- m (3) Look whos talking about ERA! No one has done more to degrade the image of women than Mrs. Archie Bunker. For years, she has presented the TV public with the image of a woman who is a real dingbat. Her TV character is just as insulting to women as it is to other groups to have blacks portrayed only as servants, Italians as mafia members, or Irish as alcoholics. All those interested in raising the status of women should protest the TV character of Mrs. Archie Bunker. new-spea- ic w ill-advi- sed ng ic so-call- ed ar 1 BELIEVE believe in America.
