One letter from Virginia Herzog to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated March 19, 1974. Herzog is against the impeachment of President Nixon and writes, "My concern is not for Dick Nixon per se but for the long range good of this country that I was taught to revere above everything except God. The people are disillusioned at the Congress as well as the president and the courts don't come out to well either. Our whole system is being derogated, and I wonder if there isn't something sinister in that."
