==================




Greetings Fellow Democrats,

Thank you for your vote of confidence in selecting me as the Democratic nominee for the office of Montgomery County Revenue Commissioner. My commitment to the Alabama Democratic Party and its ideals are tried and true. As a life-long Democrat active at all levels of the Democratic Party, I am honored to share the Democratic Party ticket with such an exceptional slate of candidates.

[Omitted Portions]

Again, thank you for the honor of serving as the Democratic nominee for the office of Montgomery County Revenue Commissioner. I am deeply touched by your confidence. I look forward to seeing each of you on the campaign trail as we work together to elect our exceptional slate of Democratic candidates. If elected in the fall, I pledge to faithfully serve the citizens of Montgomery County and the Alabama Democratic Party with competence, honor and integrity.

Sincerely,

Janet Y. Buskey

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HOLDS TO THESE PRINCIPLES:

That government functions best when it is closest to the people.

That Democrats are determined to provide economic opportunity for all Alabamians. It is our purpose to take maximum advantage of the bountiful natural resources with which we are blessed. We work for the day when no young Alabamian must go beyond the confines of our State to find opportunity. We are committed to the creation of a climate, which will foster a greater growth of industry and agriculture.

That a quality system of public education is the cornerstone of all our attainments and the foundation of our hopes for the future; that we must relentlessly strive to attain such a system that every child is afforded full opportunity to realize his or her God-given potential.

That in recognition of our dependence on modern links of transportation, the Democratic Party seeks not only major expressways, but also airways, railways, waterways, and local roadways extending to even our most remote areas. We are determined to develop transportation facilities that are second to none and we acknowledge that we must bear a significant financial responsibility in this undertaking.

That the Democratic Party is committed to clean air and water. We recognize that the complex problems of our era necessitate governmental action, control of which must be in the hands of the people and not those whose regulation has become unavoidable.

That the Democratic Party holds it to be a significant public trust to provide for the needs of Alabama
