Description
Summary:Brochure from Agnes Baggett's unsuccessful campaign for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. In it, she issues a firm statement in support of environmental protection: "At this hour in our history we face a very real crisis in the general area that has come to be known as 'ecology.' This crisis has not been exaggerated. . . . I believe it is our task in our time and in our generation, to hand down undiminished to those who come after us . . . the unspoiled natural beauty which is ours. To do this will require constant attention and vigilance . . . and courageous action by the Congress." The brochure, which features the Ecology Flag, was funded by Youth for Agnes Baggett; in an enclosed letter, she directly addresses students and encourages them to request absentee ballots if needed.
