November 1, 1997 Deaf Watch Newsletter Richard Roehm (address snipped) The Honorable Loretta Sanchez 12397 Lewis Street, Suite 101 Garden Grove, CA 92840-4695 Dear Representative Loretta Sanchez, The McConnell / Canady anti-affirmative action bill, "The Civil Rights Act of 1997" is scheduled for full House of Representatives, Judiciary Committee mark-up on Thursday, November 6, 1997. This insidious legislation eliminates all affirmative action programs, which were created to provide equal opportunity for all Americans, in the name of "Civil Right." I urge you to oppose this awful piece of legislation and utilize your political influence to stop this bill from ever reaching the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to support you in this very noble effort. Sincerely yours, Richard Piera Roehm Affirmative Action Supporter
