One letter from Barbara Immel to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated December 2, 1973. Immel supports the impeachment of President Nixon and writes, "When a body develops a cancer, the cancer grows and grows until eventually it has consumed and killed the entire body. I am pleading that you, with your influence, act NOW in removing this cancerous growth from our government. Before it claims the life of America's democracy."
