I intend to nominate Jim Garrison for a "Profile in Courage" award.
Who will join me in co-signing the nomination papers?

Okay.
Here's how I propose we move forward:
I'll write the nomination and PM it to those who answer in the affirmative. In the meantime, let's think about, for lack of a better term, "back story" aspects of this move.
And let's exchange ideas via PM.
Deadline for responses -- mine, arbitrary, so be it -- is Sunday, 30 November, midnight GMT.
On December 1 I'll contact all who have responded.

Hi,
I was viewing Jim's available Audio and Video interviews online just 3 days ago and have for many years believed that in time, history will view him as not only a great American Hero, but a Global Hero of justice.
Please count me in.
Thanks - Steve

He's always been a hero of mine and he is the only prosecutor to have ever attempted to do anything on the case! He worked on the case until his death - never stopping - something few know. He was driven by a need to know the truth and to see some justice in the matter. Count me in Charles.

I've sent private messages via this forum to Messrs. Kelin and McDonagh.
Gentlemen, please read and get back to me via the method I've indicated.
Dawn and Peter, we're already in touch.
More to all as developments warrant.

May I suggest we try to find a Kennedy clan member [RFK Jr.?] who'd sign on or a former and respected former staff members, aides, etc. Next, current or former congresspersons. Anyone who might catch / force the attention of the media - who have no real nose for truth, what is right, what is historic, etc....only usually what sells and what stays within the limits of 'reasonable' discourse [their master's imposed limits].
