Transcription

What candidate was attacked by big oil companies because his bill kept oil prices down? Wallace, Udall, Carter? Nope, Senator Scoop Jackson. What candidate's environmental bills won him the Sierra Club Award? Carter, Wallace, Udall? Nope, Senator Scoop Jackson. In New York's awful financial crisis, who created a program of aid? Alabama's Wallace? Not a chance. Georgia's Carter. He was against aid to New York. But Scoop Jackson was interested in New York long before this primary, and he'll stay interested long after he wins in November. Elect the Jackson delegates. Jackson means jobs.
