| Summary: | The theme of the float is "Uncle Sam Is Sick!" It features a cutout of George Wallace ("The Wallace Program Can Cure Uncle Sam") and gives both a "Diagnosis" ("1. Socialistic Paralysis / 2. Constitutional Breakdown / 3. Demonstration Anxiety / 4. Guidelines Colic") and a "Prescription" ("1. Honesty in Government / 2. Educational Break Through / 3. Industrial Expansion / 4. Respect for Law and Order / 5. Constitutional Government / 6. Stand Up for America"). The float is an early ad for George Wallace's 1968 presidential campaign: along the side it reads "Walker Co. for Wallace / 1958 / 1962 / 1966 / 1968." |
