One postcard from James Patrick O'Brien to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated July 22, 1974. O'Brien supports the impeachment of President Nixon. He wants Moorhead to better represent "the common man" and his interests and writes, "Please vote in all matters for the common man. It seems so many tax laws, land laws, and the law itself is directly against the common man."
