2. I think he would stay away from the toxic waste in the WH....

3. I believe he was heavily medicated at the time (both of them)

4. Didn't Nixon make him a 'Special Agent' complete with badge?

Why, yes indeed.

Dear Mr. President.

First, I would like to introduce myself. I am Elvis Presley and admire you and have great respect for your office. I talked to Vice President Agnew in Palm Springs three weeks ago and expressed my concern for our country. The drug culture, the hippie elements, the SDS, Black Panthers, etc. do NOT consider me as their enemy or as they call it The Establishment. I call it America and I love it. Sir, I can and will be of any service that I can to help The Country out. I have no concern or Motives other than helping the country out.

So I wish not to be given a title or an appointed position. I can and will do more good if I were made a Federal Agent at Large and I will help out by doing it my way through my communications with people of all ages. First and foremost, I am an entertainer, but all I need is the Federal credentials. I am on this plane with Senator George Murphy and we have been discussing the problems that our country is faced with.

Sir, I am staying at the Washington Hotel, Room 505-506-507. I have two men who work with me by the name of Jerry Schilling and Sonny West. I am registered under the name of Jon Burrows. I will be here for as long as it takes to get the credentials of a Federal Agent. I have done an in-depth study of drug abuse and Communist brainwashing techniques and I am right in the middle of the whole thing where I can and will do the most good.

I am Glad to help just so long as it is kept very Private. You can have your staff or whomever call me anytime today, tonight, or tomorrow. I was nominated this coming year one of America's Ten Most Outstanding Young Men. That will be in January 18 in my home town of Memphis, Tennessee. I am sending you the short autobiography about myself so you can better understand this approach. I would love to meet you just to say hello if you're not too busy.

Respectfully,

Elvis Presley

P. S. I believe that you, Sir, were one of the Top Ten Outstanding Men of America also.

I have a personal gift for you which I would like to present to you and you can accept it or I will keep it for you until you can take it.

Nixon makes him some kind of agent in the precursor to the DEA. Go figure.

5. Sounds funny..but Elvis was very anti drugs

He didn't see his use as 'recreational'!

6. That's a damn shame

I loved Elvis,loved his music. But for him to think so highly of that low down son-of-a-bitch crook Nixon makes me want to puke buckets.For anyone with a working brain to support evil is disgusting beyond words.Elvis must have been a true repuke.......for him to be against the very things he was doing himself makes him a HYPOCRITE in the truest form.....and that is the very thing that makes a repukeliKKKan. Phuck it.....I am now even more depressed than I was before I read this. :puke:

7. Elvis wasn't a Republican

He just wanted that badge.

9. Eh, cut the poor bastard some slack, he was wasted at the time!

People do stupid things when they are heavily medicated...
