Von Groidl, Elisabeth, fl. 1974 to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead

One letter from Elisabeth Von Groidl to Congressman Carlos J. Moorhead dated February 1, 1974. Elisabeth Von Groidl is against the impeachment of President Nixon. She hopes he received a petition she previously sent with 15 signatures. She notes that she is sending 4 newspaper clippings in which she has underlined facts or issues that undermine the credibility of the Democrats or call into question their motives in seeking impeachment. She also writes, "How can we Republicans respect justice from the Democrats, when all the news media, [illegible - vicious, J.V] are against us, and the President!" Outlines her experience in escaping to Germany from Hungary before the Russians occupied Hungary on March 30, 1945. She lost her parents as hostages to the Nazis. She and her husband spoke English and remained in the same building where the American military established their headquarters. Her husband met General Patton. She notes that "the German people were so brainwashed!!" and "Being between 2 dictatorships we always said one is brown, the other is read." She writes that "I mention this happening because as I see it now, the American people are also being brainwashed. Therefore I am afraid what will happen!" She writes that G. Smith defends the President because he knows the U.S.A. is in danger. She sends Moorhead the Passman report, asks for his opinion about whether it is true, and asks that the report be returned to her.
