the REPUBLICAN CHAIN LETTER

   Dear Friend;
   This chain was started in the hope of
bringing happiness, peace and prosperity
to people throughout the world. Unlike most
chains, this one requires no money.
Just send a copy of this card to 10 of
your friends.
  In a short time you will have the
satisfaction of knowing that you helped
to elect a man of courage, wisdom and
dignity to the highest office in the land.
   Have faith -- don't break the chain
or you could get ol' Lyndon back for
the next four years.
                              Your Buddy.
