Male voice: Remember the Susan B. Anthony dollar? The government's bright idea to conserve paper money. Well, the trouble was that it

00:00:07.260 - 00:00:13.500

looked and felt like a quarter, causing us more hassle than it was worth. Almost every Congressmen liked

00:00:13.500 - 00:00:22.170

the idea. The bill to mint the coins breezed through committee with thirty-seven members voting for it and only one "no" vote. That "no" vote was

00:00:22.170 - 00:00:29.620

Delaware Congressman, Tom Evans. Evans took a lot of heat for voting against the Susan B. Anthony, but he stuck to his guns.

00:00:29.620 - 00:00:36.070

He knew it was a foolish idea. And boy was he right! Reader's Digest called the Susan B. Anthony coin

00:00:36.070 - 00:00:42.920

a perfect example of the government's ability to do the wrong thing. Said a Washington journalist, "If more people knew Evans's

00:00:42.920 - 00:00:52.090

position on the Susan B. Anthony dollar, he'd be a national hero." Delawareans know this about Tom Evans. He stands up for what he believes,

00:00:52.090 - 00:01:01.770

even if it isn't politically popular. Vote for Congressman Tom Evans. Congressman Tom Evans: I'm Tom Evans. And this spot has been paid for by the Evans '80 Committee.
