Just trying to stay focused, Chuck.
We've got just a little over 10 months left to maximize the natural ground swell of publicity which will occur around the 50th.
If you were in charge, Charles, what would you plan for the 50th anniversary?

Chuck? Chuck???
Well, Mark, since you are apparently in charge...I'll bite my tongue. I vowed earlier to "live up to the standards" of this forum.
You got off easy.

Your exposure as an arrogant, ignorant pissant, Mock.

And that would be so very helpful in securing the timely release of remaining assassination-related documents.
Moving on, PLEASE.
Does anyone else have ideas for the 50th? Perhaps suggesting some "copy" for a letter writing campaign to our Congressmen & women?

Let's see if we can get you FOCUSED, Mark. I already did that:

I think it is fantastic. No BS. Greg, I wish you had posted this here sooner.
Greg's proposed sample letter:
![[Image: icon1.png]](https://deeppoliticsforum.com/forums/images/icons/icon1.png) Sample Letter to Issa that I sent last year--
Dear Chairman Issa,
I am writing to you today to strongly encourage you to hold JFK ACT Oversight Hearings, which are necessary and long overdue. The last such hearings were held over 15 years ago. I would also encourage you to introduce a billor take any appropriate actionthat would accelerate the current date (2017) of release of all government documents regarding the assassination of the 35[SUP]th[/SUP] president so that the information can be available prior to the 50[SUP]th[/SUP] anniversary (November 22, 2013).
It has been nearly 50 years. There are no longer any reasons "of national security" that are sufficiently valid to justify the withholding of these documents. Nearly 50 years of secrecy is more than long enough. Moreover, the law requires their release.
I request this without passion or prejudice. It is in the best interest of the American People that the great history from which we have evolved be known even when some of it may not be to our liking.
The world is very different today than it was 5 decades ago. The decision to withhold this information might have been appropriate in 1964. However, whatever those reasons were then, they are no longer valid now. The Cold War is over. There is no longer a Soviet Union, so that even if the concern (the Soviet Union and/or Cuba were responsible for the deed) that was originally thought to be valid then had been true, it no longer matters today.
The American People have a right to know the truth. The American People have a right to know the documented account of what happened and/or a right to any and all collateral information. The US Government does not have the right to withhold this information from the American People unless to not do so would create a clear and present danger to the American People. The burden of demonstrating the existence of such a danger falls on the government. In the absence of same, the law currently mandates full disclosure.
I respectfully encourage you to act in accordance with the law.
Sincerely,
Gregory Burnham

Mark,
Do you envision yourself to be the Great Coordinator of our efforts? Lord knows, we've been a rag-tag band of nobody's until you came along. I think a four fingered snap to the brim of our caps is
exactly the military styled salute you may deserve for your efforts thus far. "Ya vol mein fuhrer" doesn't even seem to do you justice!

Me doth detect a note of sarcasm.
No, I do NOT see myself as a the "great white hope." But I haven't seen any active posts within this thread, except for Dawn's legal contributions, that have to do with "Preparations & Ideas for the 50th."
Are you the leader, Greg? Is Charles?
If not, would the person who is currently responsible for organizing a letter writing campaign or an event in Dallas via the Deep Politics Forum please stand up?
