Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.
City Hall
Atlanta, Georgia

Dear Mayor Allen:

I am sure most people in this country who are in-
terested in maintaining our constitutional freedoms, were
dismayed at your testimony before Congress in favor of a
Bill which would take away the right of the owner of private
property and business to sell or not to sell to whom he
pleases.

As you know, there has been growing encroachment
by the Federal Government on the rights of our citizens and
States as reserved to them under the Constitution and lest
we, without regard to political expediency, resist all such
further encroachment and reverse this trend, we will end up
under a dictatorship.

The South has always been the champion of States’
Rights and individual freedom and it was quite surprising to
see the Mayor of Atlanta advocating this Bill.

Very truly yours,

fons bree

Dean Boggs
