Description

“I have taken the position that every man is entitled to full protection of his person, his family, his personal property and his business”

TLS, 8.5 x 11, campaign letterhead, October 11, 1966. Letter to a supporter. In part: “My position on the matters discussed are quite clear. I have taken the position that every man is entitled to full protection of his person, his family, his personal property and his business. This, to me, includes the right of every individual to choose his own associations, the home in which he lives, the right to conduct business with those he chooses, and the choice, as an American, to his own political philosophy without any interference from any government. These principles, in my opinion, are the very formula of a democracy and it shall be my foremost goal to preserve them for so long as I am in public office.” Intersecting folds, a diagonal crease to the right side, light scattered creases, and some toning to the left and upper borders, otherwise fine condition. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope. RRAuction COA.
