Dear Fellow American:
May c IQQ
The enclosed petition tells its own story. Its preamble and
ten points, as listed on the back, have already been entered
in the Congres sional Record.
The petition already has the support of score s of outstand
ing American patriots. And just from the fir st few hundred
samples mailed out, signed petitions and orders for pads of
blank petitions are already pouring into this office.
Instead of dribbling our effort over several months, we have
deliberately planned a concerted and intensive drive during
June and as far into July as there is time. We are appealing
to every man and woman who believes in the inevitably dis
astrous results, for our country and for the remaining free
world, of "summit" concessions and entanglements.
If every patriot we can reach will go to work promptly to get
petitions signed, to spread blank petitions, and to enlist the
help of others in getting more petitions signed, we can accum
ulate rapidly a tremendous number of signatures. And we can
present a powerful front of opposition to a repetition of the
!Q performance of fraternization and appeasement.
Please do your part, do it now, and keep on doing it.
Sincerely,
\'..1lL A1J U|L LlL
