38. Any environmentalist was on that list...
Farley Mowat was banned from entering the US (Evil Canadians... he opposed Nixon's Interior Secretary's killing of wolves... among other things.) The enemies list was way long... if you were Black, Brown, Jewish, environmentalist,a democrat, civil rights worker, peace protester or a republican who opposed Nixon's policies you were on the list. Most of the world was on that list. The joke in our family was that Nixon should have a friends list... it would be much much shorter. Many of the high profile people on the list knew that Nixon would try and "get" them if possible. That was always his M. O. Politically dirty... from his California days when he "red baited" (called them Communists or communist sympathizers) people who ran against him or opposed him.
When Barbara Jordan stood up and gave her speech for Nixon's impeachment I was so proud I cried!
Am 60 and support Barack H. Obama, Jr. I also have been very disgusted with the lack of impeachment proceedings in our congress. My state representative(Now California's Diane Watson) has supported impeachment petitions and has voted to get them discussed. My home state in its town meetings have asked for impeachment and have now declared Bush and Cheney as war criminals.... Bush never has come to Vermont, tho.
