Brochure urging passage of a ballot measure repealing the poll tax in Texas, 1963. Tri-fold letter-sheet. Features President John F. Kennedy pointing (as Uncle Sam does in the James Flagg recruiting poster) above the legend, "President Kennedy wants YOU to vote Saturday, November 9 FOR REPEAL of the POLL TAX." Argues that the tax discriminates against the poor and minorities. "Over 600,000 Texans have already said that they want the poll tax repealed." Gives endorsements of Kennedy, Vice President Lyndon Johnson, and Senator Ralph Yarborough.
Only weeks after this election, Kennedy was shot in Dallas.
