1. Phone Congressman: Promote through petition booth by encouraging local citizens to phone their Representative's nearest District Office in support of the [3udget Pacl'<iage.The local office phone number should be clearly posted for people to write down. A "Call Your Representative" campaign could also be promoted through local media ads on radio or newspapers. Straw Vote: Can be handled two ways: Have printed ballots at petition desl'<i arl'<ied "yes" or "no", and asl'<i m people to vote either for or against the proposed budget . Have posted tally sheet and have people marl'<itheir choice. In either case, results should be made available for publication. Straw Poll: Select a random sample of names from the phone bool'<ior voter's registration list and call. Total up responses for and against and with no opinion, and mal'<ieavailable for publication. Should mal'<iea minimum of one-hundred calls. Demonstrations and Rallies: Using local printed and electronic media, advertise time, place, and purpose of rally or demonstration. Involve prominent citizens as speal'<iers. [3e sure to checl'<ion any local regulations governing rallies or demonstrations. Community Survey: Run either door-to-door or in local newspaper. Thiscould be included in the survey, planned as part of the Chapter Planning Guide. Public Forum: Could be run as an "Issues Night", and done lil'<ie Local Candia date's Night. Could also be done as a noon-time "Forum" on downtown mall, or in a shopping center. Competent speal'<ierswould be required in either case. Radio Talk Show: For local tall'<i hows, the best approach isto contact the host s directly and have some written material showing what you want to cover. Most local tall'<ishows do not have a long bacl'<ilog of guests lined up. In some cases, you may need to contact a producer or someone other than the host. Having carefully prepared written material ismore important on larger stations. Select someone who is good at answering questions and at speal'<iing.

PROGRAM EXPLANATION
At the request of The President, The White House contacted The United States Jaycees for their support in getting President Reagan's economic paclmge passed in Congress. Your state president and other state presidents who mal~e up the Executive l30ard of Directors of The U.s. Jaycees decided to support the issue and officially adopt it as an external policy.

The reasons for supporting President Reagan's economic plan are:

Deficit spending by the Federal Government is increasing inflation at an alarming rate. Increasing taxes imposed on Americans is strangling economic growth. The Administration's budget paclmge is aimed at balancing the budget, an official position The U.S.Jaycees have tal~en for the past three years. The U.S.Jaycees has no vested interest in any of the budgetary items, but our individual members do, so our participation demonstrates a commitment to America - not simply to our own self-interests. The economic plan is a nonpartisan issue that is badly needed. Jaycees can endorse the economic plan whether or not they endorse President Reagan and/or the Republican Party. As U.S.Jaycees President Gib Garrow said, "We have had an impact on our

organization this year that has been long-needed and very positive. But, chances are, only Jaycees will remember usfor that. But the issue of America's fiscal future is one that we may be able to tal~e pride in for the rest of our lives. America's financial future is crying out to us for our service. Let's not only answer-let's mal~e things happen."

20

WHY THE JAYCEESARE INVOLVED

The Jayceesare involved in "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" because we believe that budget restraint on the federal level is essential to the prosperity and economic well-being of our country. We believe that someone must tal~e the initiative to organize and demonstrate the support of the American people for the direction our current leaders are tal~ing toward fiscal responsibility. We believe that, as always, Jaycees are the young men with the leadership ability and courage to tal~ea stand when our country is in need. The U.S.Jaycees has not tal~en a stand on such an important political issue since the Hoover Report in 1951. The Hoover Commission was established by President Harry Truman to discover ways to streamline government. The U.S. Jaycees made the adoption of the recommendations from that committee its number one project of the year. Theystood by the Report in itsentirety, I~nowing that piecemeal support would doom it to failure. Some 80 percent of the recommendations passed.Forthe firsttime in over thirty years we have an opportunity to remind the world that the Jayceesare a concerned, viable part of the American economy and we are willing to do our part to secure the future of our nation. Again, Jaycees must support the proposal in its entirety.

INDIVIDUAL EFFEaS OF THE ECONOMIC PACKAGE

In the past the American people have been asl~edto tighten their belts and reduce spending. We have been asl~edto do without many of the luxuries that have become a part of our lives.The "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH" program isdesignedto tell the federal government to do the same thing. Theeconomic pacl~age isnot intended to cause undue hardship on any individual or group of individuals. The pacl~age is intended to trim excess fat from federal spending and to force all agencies to be more productive with the funds available to them. It is not intended to eliminate much needed programs or agencies, but will mal~e it necessary for all programs and all agencies to operate mare efficiently and economically. The individuals and groups most affected by the economic package will be the ones who abuse federally funded programs. In any case, however, it istime for Jayceesas Americans to tal~ethe initial steps in a positive direction to limiting government spending in order to preserve our economy. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

21

EFFECTS ON JAYCEES
It is impossible to tal"ie a stand on any issue of importance without receiving some criticism. In this case, the major part of the reaction to our efforts will come from special interest groups who are attempting to defeat the budget proposal by picl"iing itapart item by item. Even though popular opinion appears to be overwhelmingly in favor of budget cuts, nearly every group affected feels that their area should be left untouched. These groups will have a negative attitude toward your involvement. There will also be people who misunderstand the program and thinl"iYou are supporting President Reagan or the Republican Party. This, of course, is not true. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH is a nonpartisan program supporting cutbacl"is in federal spending to achieve a balanced budget. It will be up to each chapter to clarify that fact and to promote your involvement in a nonpartisan program.

DEADLINE
We must act now! Your program should be initiated as soon as possible after receiving this l"iit.The Reagan economic pacl"iage has passed The Senate and will be in The House by mid-June. Use June 15 as your final target date for mailing letters, petitions and other correspondence to your U.s. Representative. SPECIAL NOTE: All correspondence should be mailed to your U.s. Representative's district office. Do not mail directly to Washington, D.C. unless you want to also send a copy there. We cannot have the impact in a Washington office that we can have at district offices.

"THE U.S. JAYCEES HISTORY OF GOVERNMENTAL INVOLVEMENT"

In the early 1920's, The U.S.Jaycees, then the Junior Chamber of Commerce, adopted as a national program the "Get Out TheI Vote" campaign. Over the following years the organization adopted various programs dealing with governmental involvement on the national level and at "grassroots America." In 1947 Harry Truman and Congress created the Commission on Organization of the Executive I3ranch. President Truman then appointed Past U.S. President Herbert C. Hoover to head the commission. "The Hoover Commission" , in two years, sent Congress 19 reports that would regroup about 60 administrative agencies into about 15. All estimates of savings under the plan range between $3 billion and $5 billion. The Kansas Jaycees in Pratt, Kansas, held a citizens rally to see if the American people cared about the efforts of the Hoover Commission. The turnout and results were tremendous. From this "grassroots response," the Hoover Commission approached the U.s.Junior Chamber of Commerce to help educate and rally the American public behind the commission and help get Congress to adopt their report. Over the next two years The U.S.Junior Chamber tool<ion the largest special interest groups in the country in its all-out efforts to get the report passed. Over 3 million signatures on petitions collected across the country were handcarried to Congress by Jaycee leadership. Millions of citizens were educated on the merits of the plan and they in turn wrote their U.s.congressmen. The first year program was called "Operation Economy;" the second year, "Operation Efficiency." The United States Junior Chamber of Commerce was recognized by former President Hoover as the largest contributing force in effecting over 72% of the commission's reports into law. In spite of the overwhelming pressures put on the Jaycees, their efforts were a success. In July of 1953 President Dwight D. Eisenhower approved a second commission and again appointed Past President Hoover to chair it. Once again the Jaycees were called upon to assist.This time two major programs in the same year were launched: "Our Stake in l3etter Government" and "Operation Fulfillment." Sixty-four percent of the 314 recommendations of the second committee were passed. The U.s.Junior Chamber of Commerce was cited as the organization that worl<ied most diligently and effected the greatest results in effecting the changes. Since, The U.S. Jaycees has been involved in many national issues such as: The Hatch Act, the Vietnam War; the Panama Canal; the war on energy and prayer in schools; among others. The leadership in Washington has always recognized the ability of The U.S.Jaycees to accomplish overwhelming results in a short period of time at the grassroots level of America. President Reagan has called on us to serve the best interest of our nation in a nonpartisan effort to aid passage of the Administration's Economic Recovery Plan through Congress. We believe that Enough is Enough and the budget should stop here with the people. We ore osl"iing Americans to join usbysigning petitions, writing their congressmen, and supporting the plan in its entirety.

THE REAGAN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION FAa SHEET

Speal-<iingbefore a Joint Session of Congress on February 18, President Ronald Reagan presented a comprehensive program designed to bring about a .re~overy for the nation's economy. The program calls for a reduction of the role played by the federal government in the nation's economy: lower taxation for individuals and businesses, dramatic cuts in federal spending, a reduction in the regulatory burden and a commitment toward a stable monetary policy. A. After a Reagan commissioned audit the following facts were discovered causing President Reagan to say, "I regret to say that we are in the worst mess since the Great Depression." Those facts are: The federal government isapproaching an almost $80 billion deficit for this fiscal year - an amount larger than the overall federal budget as it stood in 1957. The national debt is approaching $1 trillion and its payments alone will be almost $80 billion this year. The federal bureaucracy is growing explosively with the federal payroll rising from less than $13 billion in 1960 to $75 billion today. Since 1960, the federal budget has grown by 528 percent, far outstripping the rate of population growth which increased by only 23.3 percent. The rate of increase in consumer prices has grown from 4.8 percent in 1976 to 13.3 percent in 1979 and 12.4 percent in 1980. Mortgage interest rates during the past twenty years have grown from about 6 percent to over 15 percent while interest rates on short-term credit have risen to 20 percent. The explosive growth in government has fueled a rising inflation and the purchasing power of the 1960 dollar has shrunl-<i 36 cents. to Nearly 8 million Americans are out of worl-<i. The relative share of people's income used for tax payments has doubled since 1960 - all to pay for rapidly expanding federal programs. The growth of bureaucracy has propelled the establishment of untold regulations which have produced hidden inflationary costs to the consumer, impeding productivity and job creation.

24

25

In the President's own words: "Over the years we have let negative economic forces run out of control. We have stalled the Judgement Day. We no longer have that luxury. We are out of time." 13. President Reagan's plan is fully integrated as evidenced by: D. The proposed cuts are across the board. Not only will the budgets of certain social programs have to be trimmed, but so will a broad range of other federal program budgets. The "Social Safety Net" -federal assistance for those who otherwise would

c.

not get help-has broadened. Under the Reagan budget plan, spending for social programs wi II tal~e a larger portion of the federal budget than it does now. The portion of federal spending on social programs will actually rise from .36.6 percent in FY '81 to 41 percent of the federal budget by 1984. The budget reductions only slow the increase in federal spending. Services for the poor, disabled and elderly will not be cut bacl~ from present levels. Many programs scheduled for cutswill not reduce services below their current levels. Programs being trimmed have either fulfilled their intended purpose, are better left to the private sector, are duplicative, or are simply ineffective. The Administration's plan to convert categorical grants to blocl~ grants will actually improve social services, giving state and local governments more flexibility by eliminating federal middlemen and red tape. Because state and local governments know best how to apply their resources and will be freed of the cost of complying with federal paperwork, social services will improve. The President's economic pacl~age is a RADICALchange from the economic policies of the past 25 years. The prescription is simple: instead of increasing government spending and taxes, President Reagan will reduce government spending and taxes. The program has four ports: A major tax reduction: .30% cut in tax rates for all individuals over the next three years, along with tax cuts for businesses. Major BUDGETrevisions: Targeting 85 different federal programs, the largest number in history, to be cut bacl~. Regulatory reform and de-regulation of major segments of the economy. Slowing the growth of the money supply. Programs for the truly needy that will be exempt from budget costs are: Full retirement benefits for Social Security recipients which will be maintained along with an annual cost of living increase. Medicare. Supplemental security income for the blind, aged and disabled. School breal~fasts and lunches for the children of low-income families along with nutrition and other special services for the aging. Project Head Start. Summer Youth Jobs program.

E. The Program for Economic Recovery is opposed by special interest groups who contend that: The proposed budget cuts are unfair to the poor. Across-the-board tax cuts benefit the wealthy and business while fueling inflation. Many justifiable regulations-such discarded. as environmental safeguards-could be

A tight money supply will generate rates.

higher inflation through high interest

They argue that the program will be inflationary, reduce our standard of living, increase unemployment, harm the poor, and damage the economy. F. To reverse the trend of higher inflation, higher interest rates, and a declining standard of living, the Program for Economic Recovery must pass Congress intact. If it passes, the average standard of living will increase by about one-third between now and 1985. American's personal incomes will rise twice as fast as prices. Thirteen million new jobs will be created - three million more than would be created without the Program. Unemployment will decline from about 7.7 percent in 1981 t06.5percentin 1983, and drop to 5.6 percent by 1986. Inflation will fall from 10.5 percent in 1981 to 7.2 percent in 1982, 6.6 percent by 1983, and 4.7 percent by 1986. The Gross National Product will grow at a faster rate, up from 1.4 percent in 1981 to 4.9 percent in 1983. Interest rates will fall from their present levels. [3y 1986 they could be as low as 5.6 percent, about half the present level. G. The federal government's budget has been balanced only twice in the past twenty years. The National Debt is nearly ONE TRilLION dollars-up from $400 billion in 1977. In the last ten years, Congress has been forced to raise the national debt limit 21 times in order to cover itsspending spree. Inflation in the last two years averaged 13%. If the current inflation continues for five more years, on the average, items would cost 84% more in 1986 than at present. For example: A 50 McDonald's hamburger would cost 92. A weel-<;'sgroceries now costing $100 would cost $184. A new modest car, $7,000 in 1981, would cost just under $14,000. (To get other examples, multiply today's price by 1.84,) The facts point out the need for immediate action by citizens across America. In his inaugural address President Reagan states: "We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow. And let there be no misunderstanding - we are going to act beginning today." Sign the petitions being passed around your area, and/orwrite to your Representative today. Send your letter to your U.s. Representative's state, district office.

SAMPLE NEWS RELEASE

The Jaycees have joined the growing nationwide movement to promote passage of the Administration's economic pacl~age, according to , president of the local group. "Enough IsEnough" isthe name of our program and it sumsup our feelings pretty well," said . "We are tired of fighting inflation, watching the national debt explode, and just standing by. It'stime to get involved in our representative democracy by bacl~ing what we thinl~ is a solution." The United StatesJaycees,in early April, undertool~ itsprogram to support the economic pacl~age following several meetings with White House officials. The organization's Executive Board of Directors subsequently adopted an official policy resolution pledging the "full support" of the Jaycees to passage. In mal~ing the announcement, said "the Jaycees are completely nonpartisan, meaning we do not support any individual or political party." The leadership training organization does, however, "tal~estandson issues of major national importance, and has since Jaycees began in 1920." The last time the Jayceesmounted an all-out effort similar to thiswas in 1951, when the group bacl~ed passage of the Hoover Commission recommendations. That commission was established by President Harry Truman and charged with finding ways to streamline government. Some 80 percent of its recommendations became law. A number of special interestsand lobby groups areworl~ing against the legislative program, according to , and "we want it passed in its entirety. For too long we have allowed vested interests to come before the welfare of the entire nation. We have to reverse that." Locally, the Jaycees will be (circulating petitions at ); (asl~ingpeople to fill out and return "bogus bucl~s");(staging rallies in support); (whatever your chapter intends to do to get people behind the effort).

WHAT TO DO WITH THE NEWS RELEASES

It's simple. Re-type the release in the same format but fill in the blanks with the appropriate information. Be sure there is someone's name and phone number listed at the top in case the media needs some additional information. Double-check the material for typing errors. Next, just determine who you want it sent or delivered to in your home town.

For print media, reach the editor or city desk. For electronic media, you'll want to get it in the hands of the news director. Your local h"brary will have media guides. Find out their names first.
