Magda and Dawn,
Thanks for signing, Magda. If you really want to vote in the US elections, you could move here, study the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and so on, and become a naturalized citizen. But I couldn't guarantee that the US would be the "leader of the free world", not after all the support this government has given the "unfree world's" dictators in the past. It's possible that citizens of other countries might have a greater influence on US policies than do US citizens, as in the 1950s when desegregation was finally legalized by the US Supreme Court, allowing African-Americans access to equal opportunities for education, which was brought about, in part, by international moral pressure from other countries.
A few young people don't yet realize that the assassination affects them even today. One young man told me it was in the past and did not affect him. I proceeded to tell him how it did and drew the connections between today's current events, the economy and the Federal Reserve (which Kennedy had taken on and sought to change/weaken/erode), war vs. peace, and etc. He seemed pretty thoughtful the rest of the afternoon, so maybe I put a dent in his "happiness armor"(?)
That's a fabulous response you had on Facebook, Dawn. Really terrific!
I will be sending a copy of the petition to my US Representative, Ciro Rodriguez. He knows my full story. During this past winter he wrote to the US Secret Service on my behalf to request information for me that I have never received from them after years of numerous FOIA letters on my part. I knew it would be a hopeless task because the Secret Service destroyed all their JFK documents AFTER the 1992 JFK Collection Act was signed into law by President George H.W. Bush. However, Mr. Rodriguez remains interested and offered to help whenever he could.
I have also had communications with James Douglass, author of JFK and the Unspeakable. I will send a copy of the petition to him also, just to be sure he knows of it. I see that he will be speaking at the COPA meeting in Dallas in November, so he may already be aware of it. However, I had planned to write to him anyway to thank him for his very wonderful letter I received recently from him.
I night try our local newspaper which has a public editor, and see if they would publish the URL and a story about this petition and urge people to sign in on it. ?.
This petition may have significant effects on the future of our ability to learn the truth from our government. I certainly hope so.
