Pierce writes a letter to the President. You’ll want to read it.
He begins:
Dear Mr. President:
You’ve been waiting for your moment?
This may be it.
I know you’re sick of people always running that FDR clip all up in your grill, the one from 1936 in which the offspring of New York patroon society gets up in Madison Square Garden and says,
“They had begun to consider the Government of the United States as a mere appendage to their own affairs. We know now that Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob. Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me — and I welcome their hatred.”
Do you think he’ll listen. God, I hope so. I love the line about the Bastile. Honestly, when are these people gonna get it?
