One letter from Virginia Stutzman to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated July 30, 1974. Stutzman supports the impeachment of President Nixon. She recognizes the responsibility associated with the House Judiciary Committee and the difficulty of their task, and empathizes with them fully. She then explains that they mustn't confuse the Presidency with the President, and that they should hold the former in higher regard than the latter for they swore to uphold the Constitution.
