That letter...
That letter you’ve been intending to write—this is the
moment to write it!
It may help break the back of the conspiracy that
is driving labor toward poverty and our nation into a
depression.
Write to President Truman in the White House. Ask
him to veto the Taft-Hartley anti-labor bill. Tell him in
your own words how this bill will affect you, your family,
your country.
Tell him why it will lead to a cut in your wages, how
you and the people you work with will inevitably lead
to the crash—and the misery of a new depression.
That letter or postcard of yours may not seem im
portant. But combined with the thousands and the mil
lions of messages like yours—it may stop this disastrous
bill. It may force a veto which can lead to its complete
defeat.
Now is the time to do it!
