John Birch Society
John Birch Society In 1958 Robert Welch founded this public interest lobby to expose Communist influence in US politics. By the 1964 election, its Belmont, Mass., headquarters claimed 100,000 members. It demanded an end to US membership in the United Nations, Earl Warren’s impeachment, and the repeal of laws implementing the Great Society; it also assailed the civil rights movement as Communist-inspired. From 1963 to 1967, the society was influential in the Republican Party, and in 1964 helped nominate Barry Goldwater (who was not a member).
