The mailing says that, in the upcoming white South African referendum, whites will decide whether they wish to continue negotiations to end apartheid or stop the tide of history and go back to the old ways of repression and segregation. In effect, less than 15% of the country's population will once again decide the fate of over 25,500,000 Blacks, 3,000,000 Coloureds, and close to 1,000,000 Asians. The mailing says the world reacts with horror, and rightly so, at the idea of a Conservative Party victory in the referendum.

The mailing discusses the National Party, F.W. de Klerk, the African National Congress (ANC), Nelson Mandela, Black communities, human rights, hostels, the police, the Defense Forces, and the Security Forces.
