DELORES TUCKER April 5, 1977 SECRETARY L OF THE COMMONWEALTH The Honorable Jimmy Carter President of the United States The Whitehouse Washington, D.C. 20510 My Dear President Carter: In our last meeting you indicated to me that you would like to know when I feel you are "doing things right." with your major piece of election reform legislation I feel you certainly are doing things right! The greatest threat to our country is not another world power, but the growing apathy that has pervaded our citizenry and kept Americans away from the political process in increasing numbers. The steps you have taken since your election, particularly regarding this legislation, are vital in reversing that deplorable trend. As you know, I have long been an advocate of universal suffrage-- direct election day access to the ballot by every qualified citizen of this nation. The Universal Registration Act brings us one major step closer to providing citizens with direct access and with the impetus to use it. You may be sure that I will be singing the praises of universal registration the length and breadth of this nation. Any personal support and assistance that I can render to you on behalf of this bill's passage and enactment will be done without a moment's hesitation. Kindest personal regards, Sincerely, C. CHE LORES DeLores Tucker Bicentennial Pennsylvania 1976 So your children cantell their children.
