Called a woman in Peoria Ill. who had wired after the St. of the U. Her complaint was over freedom of choice. She was referring to abortion and she called herself an ex Repub. who wouldn’t vote for me. I was going to write her & then just on a hunch I phoned. It took a little doing to convince her it was really me. We had a nice talk and I was right that her problem was abortion. I made my pitch that there were 2 peoples rights involved in abortion—the mothers & the unborn child. She promised to give that some deep thought. We had a nice visit. She’s a 51 year old divorcee working for less than $10,000 a year—has a 17 yr. old son ready for college & a married daughter. I think I made a friend.
