House Un-American Loyalty Act Analysis
Hello, I’m Harry Truman, President of the United States.
I was 33 when WW1 started. I volunteered almost immediately. I was called into service in the 129th Field Artillery. I was then promoted to Captain in France, and I led my men successfully through heavy fire in the Meuse-Argonne Campaign. I served as a Senator first, and then Vice President. After Roosevelt's death I became president and helped end WWII. You have said that you were only senator because of your husband's death, however the senate isn’t hereditary. How could this have happened? Was your place in senate possibly illegally obtained?
Regardless I’m here to convince you that the loyalty act, or Executive Order #9835, is necessary. The loyalty act asks all government employees …show more content…
How, then is it against our rights? We are in the middle of a very dangerous conflict, and we need to keep our confidential information safe.
The loyalty act is designed to prevent a communist witch hunt, but still root communist influence in the government. You have said that we already have people looking for Soviet spies- but the only thing we have is the House Un-American Activities Committee. The HUAC is the main contributor to the fear, distrust, and repression of this anti communist age. Like I said above, this will do the opposite of what the HUAC is doing. Isn’t that good? Im sure you don’t want fear in the eyes of the US people. We need to be sure that the loyalty of our government employees stands with America and not Communist Russia. If someone gives the atomic bomb secrets to Russia, hundreds of Americans will be killed. Senator Chase, would you like ANY Americans to be killed? If you’re that keen on protecting your rights, you have the right to quit your job.
Signing this act is as little as putting your name on a piece of paper saying that you won’t give out classified information. I would like to remind you that it is not hurting our country at all, and it is only helping
