One postcard from Bruce Drown to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated August 2, 1974. Drown is against the impeachment of President Nixon and writes, "As a 29 year old voter I am proud of your actions on the Judiciary Committee and will become a very active Republican in the coming elections - something I didn't think I would ever be. I agree that the President has every damn right I have and a hell of a lot more responsibility." Compares the Watergate investigation to a lynching organized by the Ku Klux Klan.

Moorhead, Carlos J., 1922-2011
Nixon, Richard M. (Richard Milhous), 1913-1994
