The Dan Smoot Report: The Power of Public Opinion (#568) (sound)

Description: Content warning: This film falsely attributes violent acts of the Ku Klux Klan to civil rights activists.

Conservative activist Dan Smoot urges his audience to write to Congress opposing the Organizational Conspiracies Act of 1966, intended to outlaw the Ku Klux Klan. He gives other examples of cases in which the power of public opinion affected the course of politics and legislation.
