Additional Description

Transcript – Full

Let's take a close look at the personal fortune of Lyndon Johnson. He's been a government employee for 33 years. His salary, paid by the American taxpayers, has averaged $14,000 a year. Yet Life Magazine conservatively estimates his personal wealth today at $14 million. Where did he get it all? Does Bobby Baker know? How about Billy Saul Estes? Does he have the answer? Surely Walter Jenkins, Lyndon Johnson's closest friend, should be able to tell us. Honestly, it just doesn't add up. We must restore the White House and the office of the presidency as a symbol of respect. We must elect a president we can trust, a man of integrity and honesty. Vote for Barry Goldwater. In your heart, you know he's right. Thank you.
