One letter from Diana Strain to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated October 27, 1973. Strain supports the impeachment of President Nixon. She reports she has been a life-long Republican, and writes, "Since I am as stubborn as most Americans, I am not admitting that I was wrong. . . . The people of the United States do not deserve to have a president who is corrupt."
