One letter from Georgia Emery Funk to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated November 5, 1973. Funk is against the impeachment of President Nixon and writes, "Too many Congressmen and newspeople holler their heads off about laws, legalities, impeachment and fail to see the immorality of their costly investigations, voiced rumors and threats that cause confusion, self-doubt, discontent and desperation about the American people. Laws do not make a nation unless they are administered wisely by men of Christian ethics and moral judgment."
