Mike Royko urges Jerry Brown to harness public rage in a provocative campaign. The column lists targets like jerks and overpaid athletes, suggests anti Elvis stamp fever, and proposes bold phone-in slogans such as 1 800 No Jerks and 1 800 No Elvis, framing a controversial play for votes. The piece notes Royko’s Chicago perspective and local newspaper context.
