Grass Roots Conference Criticizes GOP 1936 Path
The Grass Roots Conference in Springfield Illinois endorses Hoover while critiquing GOP strategy. It rebuts claims of states rights and defends federal measures like the 13th 14th and 15th amendments, the interstate commerce commission and federal education efforts as essential, not imperial, overreach. It notes Lincoln’s stance vs Supreme Court rulings and argues unemployment should drive policy beyond constitutional slogans.
