Evansville Resident Opposes Bayh's Blockade Support
Vietnam War, 1961-1975
Bayh, Birch, -- 1928-
In response to Senator Bayh's proposal of a blockade of ships at American ports who engage in trade with North Vietnam, a resident of Evansville, Indiana expressed his disapproval in a letter. Plainly, he writes, "Surely, you realize our so-called blockades of various countries that are in current disfavor have never done significant harm to the stability of their governments. Castro is stronger than ever, Mao stronger than ever, North Korea no weaker, and even Albania's government seems to be in no danger."

Vietnam War, 1961-1975 -- Protest movements -- United States
Bayh, Birch, -- 1928-
In a letter addressed to "Legislators," a resident of Hagerstown, Indiana expresses his extreme displeasure with anti-war protests. The constituent writes, "These riots, marches etc., come naturally as a result of the liberal radicals (who turn out to be Communist sympathizers having been babied, coddled and pampered for the many past years..." He concludes with the fact that these sentiments are outside the realm of politics but instead represent a true patriotic perspective.

In 1961, the Women's Division of the Republican National Committee published a booklet calling all citizens to uphold the privilege of voting by ensuring clean and honest voting processes. This booklet provided citizens with case studies and proposed actions to prevent fraudulent elections.
