The Communist Party offers a people's program for jobs, education, free health care, to end wars and racism. Even if you disagree with the views of our candidates - Gus Hall and Jarvis Tyner - you have the right to hear them and to sign our petition...Please use this vital right to help put Hall and Tyner on the ballot."

Produced for the 1976 presidential campaign of Communist Party USA candidate Gus Hall (1959-2000) and his running mate Jarvis Tyner (b.1941). Text at bottom prices this "'76 Campaign Souvenir" at $1.00.
