Thank You, Mr. President
Los Angeles: Ellis O. Jones, [1941]. An open letter flyer by National Copperheads founder and leader Ellis O. Jones in support of Charles Lindbergh following FDR's denunciation of Lindbergh as a "Copperhead" (a Civil War-era term used to describe Northerners who supported the South) for his opposition to U.S. entry into WWII. Jones, who was a fellow isolationist, fascist sympathizer and defendant in the Great Sedition Trial, praises Lindbergh as a hero and thanks FDR for "arming us with a handy fighting slogan around which to rally and organize in support of the unpolluted Americanism, the straightforward realism and those sound enduring principles so ably and convincingly enunciated over and over by that most popular of all Americans, our beloved Lindy." Jones was heavily involved in the Los Angeles America First Committee and co-founded the Friends of Progress with Robert Noble.
