      Location: Department of Special Collections and University Archives, Green Library, Stanford University, 557 Escondido Mall, Stanford, CA 94305-6064

      Description: Relating to Richard Cotten (1919-1998), spokesman for the Committee of Christian Laymen of Kern County, California, and to Richard Cotten's Conservative Viewpoint, a radio program and later a newsletter. Cotten began his radio broadcasts with the following introduction: "This is Richard Cotten, spokesman for the Committee of Christian Laymen of Kern County, California, and wholly dedicated to exposing socialism, commUNism, one-worldism, and any other form of totalitarianism that is undermining our way of life. We are for individual responsibility, for a return to constitutional government, for less centralization of power, for States' rights, and we are for exposing the Federal Reserve. We are for the sovereignty of the United States of America and are unalterably opposed to any plan to surrender our God-given republic to any form of totalitarian rule. Now, won't you join us and take one more look at the ever-increasing evidence that we are indeed being surrendered to a one-world government."
