One letter from James Patrick O'Brien to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated July 17, 1974. O'Brien supports the impeachment of President Nixon. Lists O'Brien’s grievances with Congress as a whole, including health care reform, income tax reform, and workers strikes and writes, "I for one am very tired of being felt off and being walked on by large companies and the Nixon administration. I'll be voting against anyone whom I think doesn't completely support the common citizen."
