d Phillips: Dear Friend: I think you will appreciate, more than most Americans, what I am sending you. I have enclosed two flags: the red, white, and blue of Old Glory—and the white flag of surrender. I want to show you, by these two flags, what is at stake for America under the SALT II Treaty with Russia. If the U.S. Senate ratifies SALT II (the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty negotiated by Kremlin Boss Leonid Brezhnev with Jimmy Carter) it will mean the permanent surrender

  • f the United States of America to the military superiority of the

Soviet Union. You and I must choose—and the Senate must decide—whether we will personally accept the White Flag of Surrender as America’s banner. Or, whether we are prepared to work and sacrifice to keep Old Glory perpetually raised on high.

 Dear Friend: Please take a second right now to look at the outrageous pro-abortion political propaganda I’ve enclosed.
