Scarce 9 x 12 single-sided handbill circulated in Dallas at the time of John F. Kennedy's ill-fated November 1963 visit, showing side-to-side 'mugshot style' images of President Kennedy with the headline, “Wanted for Treason.” The flyer lists seven “treasonous activities” made by Kennedy against the United States, in full: “1. Betraying the Constitution (which he swore to uphold): He is turning the sovereignty of the U.S. over to the communist controlled United Nations. He is betraying our friends (Cuba, Katanga, Portugal) and befriending our enemies (Russia, Yugoslavia, Poland). 2. He has been WRONG on innumerable issues affecting the security of the U.S. (United Nations—Berlin Wall—Missile Removal—Cuba—Wheat Deals—Test Ban Treaty, etc.) 3. He has been lax in enforcing Communist Registration laws. 4. He has given support and encouragement to the Communist-inspired racial riots. 5. He has illegally invaded a sovereign State with federal troops. 6. He has consistently appointed Anti-Christians to Federal office: Upholds the Supreme Court in its Anti-Christian rulings. Aliens and known Communists abound in federal offices. 7. He has been caught in fantastic LIES to the American people (including personal ones like his previous marriage and divorce).” In very good to fine condition, with scattered light staining, and a short split to the end of the central horizontal fold.
This material, designed to resemble an FBI wanted poster, was authored by Robert A. Surrey, a salesman at Johnson Printing Co. of Dallas, who had been closely associated with General Edwin Walker, a leader of right-wing activity in Texas. Walker resigned his Army post in 1961 after a Kennedy-ordered investigation found that he had violated the Hatch Act, which prohibits federal employees from engaging in political activity on the job; interestingly, Walker was nearly the victim of an assassination attempt made by Lee Harvey Oswald on April 10, 1963, only months before Oswald turned his sights to Kennedy.
