Does it sometimes seem that every time you buy gas that the price has gone up again, making barrels of obscene profits for the big oil companies? And President Ford wanted to lift all the controls? Well, I led the fight to stop him. I'm Scoop Jackson. Without controls, gas would be costing us a dollar a gallon. So next time you say fill her up, cry a little. But we'd be crying a lot more if President Ford had his way. He didn't. Elect Senator Scoop Jackson.
