M75-93, Box 16, "ERA/Information Against" (clipped papers with letter from Senator Sam Ervin on top) Bruce A. Smathers Papers, 1970-1974. Constituent Letter Against Equal Rights Amendment, 1974


1044 Martin Drive
Rockledge, Florida
March 25, 1974

Dear Senator Smathers,

I am not much of a letter writer, as you can see, but as a concerned citizen, and voter, feel pressed to voice my opposition to the Equal Rights Amendment.

Most active of all on be- half of this very insidious bill are the communists (who never let up.) We hope the many letters you will be receiving will urge you to take a second look.

 

For God and County
Mr. & Mrs. Joseph Fuscaldo
