For US Citizens - Petition to Release JFK Documents

[Peter Lemkin]

Gee to think we who have signed have gotten on a special list with a gold star on the desk of Dizinformation Czar Cass Sunstein! I wonder if I'll be able to fly now? :plane:

NB. I checked the box and didn't receive any messages following signing. It is likely you can follow a link at the bottom of any nag messages sent to turn that function off.

[Keith Millea]

It's all Okay Bill.Sometimes I tend to over-react about things.:curtain:

I found the way to stop the email from Change.org,but they want me to sign in and have a password etc.If I keep getting stuff from them,I'll go ahead and follow through with that.

And thanks Bill,you've really done the grunt work here,and I hope that this petition can/will have an impact.

[Bill Kelly]

Unless the National Archives reverses itself, the 50thanniversary of JFK's death will come and go without the remaining identified JFKassassination files being released to the public.

In 2010, Assistant Archivist Michael Kurtz stated that theNational Archives and Records Administration (NARA)would include remaining JFK records in the National Declassification Center'sproject to review and release backlogged documents by 2013. But in a recentletter to Assassination Archives and Research Center President Jim Lesar, NARA'sGeneral Counsel Gary Stern said that Kurtz "misspoke." Ironically,the letter cited NARA'sneed to "balance historical impact [and] public interest" indetermining which records to focus its review efforts on. It would be hard toargue that JFK assassination records are not high on either metric.

The letter notes that among the records are 1171 CIAdocuments still withheld in full. While these and some other records are slatedfor full declassification in 2017, there is no guarantee that such willactually occur. The upcoming 50th anniversary is the best occasion to applypressure to ensure these records become public.

If you would like to weigh in on this issue, one option isto sign an online petition put together by researcher Bill Kelly, author of theexcellent JFK Countercoup blog. http://jfkcountercoup.blogspot.com/2012/...e-jfk.html

Face it Bill and all others...the CIA and others who'd like for the Truth to NEVER be told know [and I concur with them - a rare thing] that if these are not released on or before the 50th, they will never be released - and it will be easy after the 50th to delay until those interested are all dead - so they won't even be asking.

.......it is now or never!

There have to be a thousand times more than 671 persons who would sign this....if they only knew it was around to be signed. Anyone with money backing this who is willing to buy a NYT [or similar] paid ad?! Internet ads carefully placed?

It appears this site doesn't have one of those "Share to Facebook" buttons. That wouldn't prevent anyone from sharing it to there. I've only got about 100 Facebook "friends," but if everyone put some kind of notice there it could easily snowball.

While we will still try to get 2,000 sigs by the end of September, we may print out and hand in what we have to the National Archivist at the Archives symposium on the Declassification initiative on Wed. August 29th at the National Archives. He has shown up for the two previous events of this type and Lesar, Dan Alcorn, John Judge, Jeff Morely and others have promised to be there. I will try to make it.

Anyone in the Washington Area with an interest in this subject - freeing the remaining JFK assassination records, should be there.

Dan wrote: I sent an e-mail around yesterdaycalling attention to the open public forum that will be held by the NationalArchives on August 29 seeking public input on the declassificationprocess. It occurred to me later that the Archives is accepting questionsfor the forum in advance, so that those who are not in the DC area could submitquestions for the forum. Here is the notice with the e-mail address ofthe Archives official who is point of contact for this forum:

The NDC will be hostingits third annual open forum on Wednesday, August 29, from 10 a.m. to 12 noonin the McGowan Theater at the National Archives Building.The theme for this year's forum will be "NDCChallenges at Two Years: What did we learn, and how are we moving forward?" Youmay contact Don McIlwain, don.mcilwain@nara.gov or 301-837-0587 foradditional information or to submit advance questions. Additional informationand details will follow.

Yes it does John. On every page there is a 'Share This' button and there are many places you can share a thread to, Facebook, Twitter, Blogger, Reddit, StumbleUpon, etc etc
