Summary
Dear Mr. President: The Letters of Julia Sand is a film by Destry Edwards
The film tells the dramatic story of how an everyday citizen—who was unable to even vote at the time—influenced the presidency of Chester Arthur, changing his legacy from one of corruption to one of reform.
“The story of Chester Arthur and Julia Sand is such an inspirational narrative, and Julia’s legacy encourages us to seek out our own ways to make a difference in our government and in our community. It’s very special to see this film bring more public awareness to this story,” Edwards said.
Dear Mr. President: The Letters of Julia Sand is available to stream on SalemNow. To find out more information about the film and its story, please visit CEI.org. If you are interested in helping to organize a screening, please reach out to [email protected].

| 1:08.5 | Because what's going on right now, we have to, we've got to |
| 1:14.9 | thread the needle between two errors. This is between Silla and Sheribdis, to quote, or to reference |
| 1:22.7 | Homer's Odyssey. Silla is this sea serpent's monster, cracking. Sheribdis is this whirlpool, |
| 1:35.8 | and he has to sail between the two. We would say thread the needle. Right now, |
