Exciting political broadside discusses the actions of Wisconsin Senator Joseph McCarthy in the early 50s and his anti-communist "crusade". The headline says: "Wanted: Believers That Senator McCarthy Practiced Calculated Fraud and Deceit on the United States Senate and on the People of the Country." A summary of the charges against McCarthy are listed on the right side of this poster that measures approximately 17" X 23" and a list of signees who sposered the broadside appear on the bottom. Some aging of the paper but overall, EX-MT.
