A Note
from the Chairman of COPA ExCom
Dear
fellow citizens,
50 years
have passed since the Warren Commission declared that Lee Harvey Oswald was the
lone assassin in the murder of President John F. Kennedy. During those decades,
independent researches, authors, medical and ballistic experts continued to
expose the hard evidence that proves the official government conclusion is
invalid.
We now
know that:
-
No
lone gunman could have killed President Kennedy and wounded Governor Connally.
-
The
official investigations were flawed and important leads never properly pursued.
-
Significant
unanswered questions remain in other political assassinations, such as those of
Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King.
-
The
truth remains hidden as long as the government records on these assassinations
remain sealed from the public.
Some
people may feel that there is no purpose in working to solve murders that date
back fifty years, but we know there is no time limit on the truth and no
statute of limitations in a murder case. Until we face the truth about the
assassinations of our political leaders, we cannot hope to move toward a viable
democracy in this country, nor prevent other such assassinations from happening.
No other event has frozen more people in time, or changed the shape of the
future in the same way as the assassination of President Kennedy, and we can
wait no longer for a solution, - we must
act now.
The
Coalition on Political Assassinations (COPA) was formed following a “Call to
Action” meeting in Dallas, Texas over twenty years ago. Our members are
individuals who have worked for many years to uncover the truth. We are based
in Washington D.C., near Congress and the Courts, the National Archives and the
national and international press and we are working on behalf of everyone who
questions the official and false official verdicts in these murders.
Many
assassination documents and records have been kept secret from the American
public, but due to the efforts of our members, many records are now being
released under the JFK Assassination Records Act of 1992. These files are
providing important new information about the assassination, and we still have
a chance to break the case open if we can accelerate the release of the
remaining sealed records and obtain the sworn, public testimony of new
witnesses.
Our
immediate goals are clear. We intend to:
-
Work closely with the NARA and get Congress to fulfill their oversight mandate
by holding public hearings and ensure the full disclosure of the remaining
sealed records;
-
Analyze the new records and educate the American people about who murdered
their leaders, who covered up the conspiracies to kill them, and why;
-
Correct the media spin that says there is nothing new in these records- Initiate
a similar process to release the records in other assassinations, especially
the HSCA MLK files that remain sealed and weren’t covered by the JFK Act; Settle
the outstanding questions, find the historic truth and seek justice.
We want
to live in a country where these sort of murders will not go unpunished, and
where the democratic processes cannot be frustrated by individuals, agencies or
organizations who oppose the popular will and violate the Constitution.
COPA has
served as a Congressional and media watchdog, and is working to release all the
records and solve the mysteries surrounding these murders. To meet our goals,
time is of the essence and we need your help.
We are
co-sponsoring a national conference and symposium in Washington D.C. in
September on the 50th anniversary of the release of the Warren
Report, that will include presentations of selected research papers on various
aspects of the assassination of President Kennedy, and we expect to have
national and international media coverage of this unique event.
Recent
polls show that 85% of the American people agree with us about the evidence of
conspiracy in this case and the need to release all of the remaining withheld
records. They know they have never been told the full story by the official
investigations. We need your help to reach them and to let them know that
something can and must be done. Help us reveal the truth and tell the American
public that there is something new in these files and something can be done
about it.
This is
your organization. Working together we can make a difference now. There is an organization that supports the
latest research, uses grassroots outreach and social media, is lobbying
Congress for oversight hearings, using the courts to free secret files and is
forcing the rule of law in political assassinations.
We need
to address these unresolved political assassinations today in order to prevent
political assassinations from happening in the future.
We
look forward to hearing from you,
Cyril H. Wecht, M.D., J.D.
