It is time for all good people to unite for this great cause and put their differences aside, no matter how serious or trivial they are.
To rise above our egos for something so noble and to prove that our sum is greater than our parts.
In 2001 Gerry Ford was awarded the profile in courage and i hope that Carolyn Kennedy will amend this unfortunate decision
by giving it to someone who sacrificed everything for his beliefs, and to prove that her father did not die in vain.

Great truth-vehicle as well as a worth vessel in its own right.
I think a good way of MEDIAting this is to use all the new stuff that is available from the Garrison investigation. In particular media stuff such as the Phelan, Aynesworth, local NOLA media, stuff detailed in Jim's new book. The limitations are 1) that many do not even know who Garrison was, and 2) all the propaganda re Garrison that has been aimed at getting people to pre-dismiss him before even opening the door.
So confront this head on by snippets of all the ways in Garrison was attacked. Snag interest with a million different very specific details about how Garrison was attacked. These details will get people past the front door, reading more on their own, by problematizing the propagandists and, in effect, asking WHAT THE HELL WAS HE DOING TO MERIT THIS LEVEL ASSAULT? COULD A GUY NAMED MO OR CARLOS HAVE STIMULATED ALL THAT? etc. The Snag cuts through bs through the specificity of its detail.
