West The Honorable Charles Wiggins Bill Wilson Dennis Wilson Dear Friend, I urge you to fill out and return the enclosed Voter Preference Tracking Survey that has been registered to you by the Mike Curb Campaign Committee. The Benefit of your Survey answers will be two-fold. First, you will be helping the Curb Campaign Committee in formalizing our official campaign attack on some of the most critical issues facing California citizens. The results of this first Tracking Survey will serve as the basis of our Committee platform for 1982. And secondly, you will be helping Republican candidates at every other level, from Lieutenant Governor to the State Assembly. How? Because this Survey information will be given to every one of our Party nominees for their personal campaign use in each of their districts. It will most likely become the very base for our entire California Republican Platform for the 1982 elections. And, believe me, never have we needed to be more effective than we must in 1982. Why? Because we will be facing one of the most powerful grass-roots and financial political combinations ever organized by the Democratic Party. I\u27m talking about the growing alliance between the political forces of Governor Jerry Brown and his close political friends Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden and their Campaign for Economic Democracy organization (CED). Hayden\u27s CED operation has demonstrated its muscle recently by literally taking over the Democratic Party Convention (something they never could have done before this year). Page 2 And the CED has been organizing in every corner of California, electing their own candidates in strategic locations to city council seats and other local offices. These Liberal CED officeholders and their local organizations will serve as the very backbone of the volunteer network for the Democratic Party during 1982. And nobody underestimates the political strength of Jerry Brown who has organized a massive campaign machine from his two attempts at the Presidency. When you put the fundraising ability of Jerry Brown and Jane Fonda together, the results could be devastating to the Republican Party in California. I\u27m sure you can see why the Mike Curb Campaign Committee is gearing up for the 1982 Governor\u27s campaign early. But you may be thinking that it is just too early. Please let me explain why we have organized and begun now. When we first sat down to set our priorities for the 1982 campaign, our Committee began looking for a couple of basic factors in other campaigns that were critical to success. We looked back over the last fifteen years at other winning and losing campaigns. We found that there were two important ingredients in a winning campaign. The first ingredient was starting early, putting together a solid financial, volunteer and issue-oriented campaign aimed at getting the campaign message out to the voters in time to let them make a decision based on facts and not campaign rhetoric. The second ingredient was how well Republicans, Democrats, Independents etc., would unite around the person at the top of the ticket for the Republican Party. Our most recent example is last year\u27s Presidential race, where Ronald Reagan (my father) headed the Party nationally. And in state after state, Republicans defeated Liberal Democrats because of the solid organization our Party built at every campaign level. For the first time in quite a few years Republicans felt that 1980 was a year which marked a new beginning for our Party. We were united around one man who has proven himself a true leader for the conservative principles of the Republican Party. And now, going into the 1982 elections, we here in California are lucky enough to have another man who has those same qualities of Page 3 Ronald Reagan and who has indicated he will be running for the office of Governor. He is Mike Curb, our Lieutenant Governor. In his 1978 election to the Lieutenant Governor\u27s post, Mike Curb proved he can win votes from Democrats and Republicans alike, something a candidate must do in order to win in California. And he proved he can accomplish that goal without compromising the Republican principles in which he believes. And in the same tradition as President Reagan, Mike Curb has gone out of his way to help other Republican candidates during the elections. Here are just a part of Mike Curb\u27s activities for Republicans during the last few years. 1. In 1976, Mike was California Co-Chairman of the Citizens for Reagan Committee, leading the Reagan delegation at the Republican National Convention in Kansas City. Mike left his business for a full year to dedicate himself to the Reagan effort. 2. Mike is the only major candidate running for the office of Governor who supported Proposition 13 and worked for its passage in 1978. 3. Mike traveled all over California in 1978 helping Republican candidates in their districts while he was running his own campaign. 4. In 1980, Mike became the National Vice-Chairman of the Reagan for President Campaign, traveling around the state and nation whenever asked, to represent the Reagan Campaign. He also served as the Program Chairman of the 1980 National Convention in Detroit, where he was responsible for the entire schedule of events for the Republican Party. 5. Mike traveled to 47 different counties in California in 1980, raising funds for local Republican candidates and rallying support for Ronald Reagan. On top of all this, Mike Curb brings to the office of Governor the experience of running that office for over 200 days while Jerry Brown was out of the state. Mike has done so much for Ronald Reagan and the Republican Party that it would take a book to cover everything. But, one simple thing you can personally do to help Mike now, when he needs us, is to complete and return your Voter Preference Tracking Survey in the postage-paid envelope provided for you by the Curb Campaign Committee. And when you do, I hope that you will also consider sending a financial contribution to the Mike Curb Campaign Committee to help raise the very large amount of money it will take to finance a winning Page 4 campaign against the Brown/Fonda/Hayden political machine. The Governor\u27s race in our state will easily cost three or four million dollars. That\u27s a sum which no candidate can raise without massive support from the members of his or her Party. We have a lot of things going for us right now. Surveys show Mike the early leader as the Republican choice for Governor in 1982. And, I\u27ve enclosed a letter my father sent to Mike thanking him for all he has done to help in the Reagan campaign. With so many great benefits working in our favor right now, it would be tragic if the finances were not there to get an early start on the campaign. And we have so many campaign tasks that must be set into motion within the next few months which will simply not take place without your financial support. Just conducting this Survey throughout the state will cost the Committee thousands of dollars. Not since Ronald Reagan first ran for Governor have we had such a great opportunity to elect a Republican with the credentials that Mike Curb has developed over the last ten years of helping our Party. But, it could all be for nothing if the early money to build the campaign momentum is not there when it is needed. You\u27ve been around politics long enough to know the importance of having the funds necessary for a winning campaign. And you know how important voter survey information is to all our Republican candidates. Please join with me and such other dedicated Republicans as Congressman Bill Dannemeyer, Congresswoman Bobbi Fiedler, Congressman Gene Chappie, Senator Bill Richardson, Senator Ed Davis and Assembly Republican Leader Carol Hallett by completing and returning your Voter Preference Tracking Survey along with your most generous contribution to the Mike Curb Campaign Committee. Sincerely, i Mike Reagan f MA
