Washington, D. C. Mr. Suilivan__ Mr. Tavel_____ Mr. Trotter Tele, Room ____ Miss Gandy___ Bir: sy I appeal to you in behalf of the welfare of our Country! Someone forget political strings and atand up courageously and do what is really | Abest for this Country. From your past record of soncern for our youth tel oJ f and of forty years of service to our America, I believe your sourage is ! without equal and that you could lead us out of this morase of rotten politics and help us to respect our leaders again. My husband and I woted for Mr. Kennedy, but apparently our confidence was misplaced. We feel that it would do no good to appeal to & man who allows Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ( whase soft-spoken waya reek of hy pocrisy and Mr. Kruschev's tactics) and other Negro leaders such as Rus tin( with a eriminal record and Communistic intents) to disrupt all lew ‘ and order in thie Country, but accuges a patriotic and fearless American, our Governor of Alabama, the Honorable George Wallace, of bringing death and ohaos to our State because he rebels against a law that we feel to be against the best interests of both races involved. ay. + tt . I am an average American citizen, white, female, forty-eight years of age and the mother of one thirteen year old son. I oare enough about the youth of today, both white and Negro, to want we adultes to rectify a mis- take that we allowed to take place by our apathy. If.we adults are ina etate of confusion because we can't respect the “Law of our Land" anymore because it ie obviously being misused, what kind of a future are we offer- 4ng our children? Weither white nor black ohildren can feel sgfe in their schoole or churches, anymore, just because we have allowed ouuzrene Court to reverse a decision that we knew was not to the good of our Tinh Don't you think it a remarkable fact, Mr. Hoover, that the two subjects which have always disturbed Americans nationwide, and osaused the most dissension among us, namely, our civil liberties and religious freedon, have been publicized and had reverse decisions rendered on them by the Supreme Court in recent years? Even though both decisions oan be ration- alized, there are millions of thinking Americans who are aware that this 4s exactly the manner in which Communists epread their insidious disease. Doesn't it appear to you that they have achieved their goal by creating more turmoil within our Country than there has been since the Civil War? ee ce 64-hISE5-|1 pe, wer EBY i ee ° oct A 1983 77K bated 4 fling « WOK (\4 he 7 - . a0) BR at Ment EX116 niet QL \ Ch.
