Letter sent to President Richard Nixon by John Kasich

John R. Kasich Dec 2, 1970 1900 Cannon Drive morill Jower 2142 Ohio State University Columbus, Ohio 43210 The President The White House Washington 25, D.C. my Dear Mr. President, I am presently a freshman attending Ohio state University I also have been elected to the Undergrad Mate Student J overnment. I run for election because I am interested in becoming involved. I feel that be- coming involved in the proper way can only better an institution I am also a pre- law major and I am in terested in becoming involved in politics. my love for politics also preempted me to run for Undergraduate Government. The reason I am writing this letter John R. Kasich is to make sure my opinions get di- rectly to you through our billiant President novice Inwett I jumped at the chance of being able to make sure that you read my letter 0 think that you, us for us l can judge, are not only a great President but an even greater person I say an even greater person because you survifice your political future for the good of the country. no amer- ican could ask more. you were faced with a bleak economic picture, welfare recipient problems, a dragging was, and much more. you have either cleared or have started the wheels turning towards the easing of our problems. That is why l am "burned up" when someone says Whats hison done." However, I feel l have brought many to the fold. Because I know my letter will get through to you, I am also jump ing at the stance to ask you a prob- ally rediculous favor. I am a great admirer of yours. I, infact, worked John R. Kasich for you in 1968 in Pittsburgh, Pu and I sow you when you spare at the arena in Pittsburgh when President I aweett told me that he was going to see you, I told him I would pay a 1,000,000 to be in his place. Since I don't have a million dollars, l am relying on your grace. Would it be possible for me to come to the White House to talk and see you sometime in the future I would immediately pass up a Rose Bowl trip to see you. my parents would permit me to bly down and see you anytime and d know my grades wouldn't suffer- I know how buyy you are and this is probably a rediculous request but to me it would be a dream come true. If it is at all possible, l would appreciate a chance. all l can say is please. Finally, I can see a big "histon Victory in 72. There may be just one problem in your way but I'm sure you'll clear it. I how you me looking ahead but in 72" not wanting to. But, again say, hisan John R Rasich Sincerely.
