Let's look at the record of Lyndon Johnson. He was Bobby Baker's best friend. LBJ once said, Bobby Baker is my strong right arm, the last man I see at night and the first one in the morning. The dark shadow of voting fraud, such as the infamous Box 13. Billy Sol Estes and his connections in high places. A television monopoly forced on the people of Austin. A $14 million personal fortune gained on an average government salary of $14,000 a year. Honestly, it just doesn't add up. Gee, Dad, is all that true? Yes, son, every bit of it. Will you and Mother vote for a man like that? We won't. We can't, for your sake. Put a man of honesty, integrity, and strength in the White House. Vote for Barry Goldwater. In your heart. You know he is right.
