One note from Verna L. Wilson to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated July 28, 1974. Wilson supports the impeachment of President Nixon and writes, "so much of the defense in the case is based on actions being similar to those of preceding regimes or the other politicians. That is like the child's cry, 'But Mommy, everybody else is doing it!' Do we want an administration which is like everybody else's or do we want an honest administration?"
