Rep. Julian Bond State Capital Atlanta, Georgia
Dear Mr. Bond:
It has been a great pleasure to attend your appearance at the N.W.-Sheboygan, and also a great privilege to be able to meet you and shake your hand.
Yes, I am the party who had opined to you that I can see no difference between Capitalism and Communism because under both sick governments the have-nots remain oppressed. Yet, Often I think Capitalism is a greater desease than Communism. Under Capitalism all favoratism is given to the rich & affluent people and the poor have no chance for equal treatment.

We live in a class society where the smug bigots look down on the poor of all races, and have the audacity to call themselves holier-than-thou Christians. I've ceased going to Church because the hypocracy actually have made me sick inside. Many of the Clergy are no better than their affluent counterparts. Property in this country means more than a human life.
I am in full accord with the college kids — because they are humantarians — not materialists. And if I were their age instead of in my early 40's, I would be with them 100% protesting against the multitude of injustices which do exist.
My deep convictions are in accord with the New Dem. Coalition, and as a Dem. party member of longstanding, I nominated a New Coalition member

as 1st Vice Chairman of our Sheb. County Democratic Party, and he was elected. And our old party members are well aware of my convictions, even tho' they do not approve. I am a member of the Executive Board of our local Dem. party.
At our State Convention, I will be working with the New Coalition.
I am enclosing the material which I've told you I would mail to you.
Personally, I think the only way this sick society of smug hypocrits will wake up is by revolution, as it is a crime that people should be starving while the rich parasites live like kings — while the govnmt spends billions to kill innocent people in war — billions on chemical-biological germs, etc.
I've just finished reading an excellent book "The Sane Society" by Erich Fromm.
Take Care of Yourself,
Very Sincerely,
Margaret M. Tank
