One telegram from Blanche Butler and Carlene Watts to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated July 26, 1974. Butler and Watts support the impeachment of President Nixon. They criticize Moorhead based on his partisan bias and write, "As Californians deplore your apparent inability to evaluate obvious evidence corruption. The Nixon blight on American should be removed unified non-partisan basis. You do a disservice to American and both parties by blindly accepting this corruption."
