WHO ARE WE?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Operation: Right to Know is a group of citizens united by the
|
||
|
|
conviction that the solution to the UFO "mystery" lies in political
|
||
|
|
action. Private groups have done a heroic job for over 40 years
|
||
|
|
documenting UFO sightings and trying to educate the public with very
|
||
|
|
limited resources. Despite their decades of hard work, however, the
|
||
|
|
publicis still largely in the dark.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One enormous barrier stands in the way of full public disclosure: The
|
||
|
|
U.S. government's 40-year policy of withholding and confusing the facts
|
||
|
|
of extraterrestrial contact. As long as this policy remains unchanged,
|
||
|
|
the truth will never be fully revealed. We demand full disclosure of
|
||
|
|
government UFO secrets and an open, public inquiry into the phenomenon.
|
||
|
|
We charge that the government's policy of tightly restricting UFO data,
|
||
|
|
however well-intentioned it originally may have been, causes far more
|
||
|
|
harm than simply telling the truth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Operation: Right to Know held its first demonstration on March 28 in
|
||
|
|
front of the White House, the first public protest against UFO secrecy
|
||
|
|
on record. We will conduct a much larger "March on Washington" onJuly
|
||
|
|
5, 1993, following the MUFON symposium in nearby Richmond, Virginia.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Throughout the year, we will hold smaller demonstrations at major UFO
|
||
|
|
hotspots and secret government research sites, and keep the pressure on
|
||
|
|
lawmakers through letter campaigns, educational materials, and
|
||
|
|
lobbying. Grassroots sentiment to compel the government to reveal its
|
||
|
|
secret UFO files has been growing recently. Most citizens involved in
|
||
|
|
the UFO field are political novices, but a growing network is gaining
|
||
|
|
an education in political action. Our hope is that a highly visible
|
||
|
|
political campaign against UFO secrecy may enlist support from quarters
|
||
|
|
that have previously beem silent on the issue. Popular demonstrations
|
||
|
|
may also indicate to U.S. policymakers that the people are ready for
|
||
|
|
the extraordinary news that has been withheld from them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We intend to spark demonstrations in many locales, organized at first
|
||
|
|
by UFO enthusiasts, but eventually involving all citizens concerned
|
||
|
|
about freedom of inquiry and our planet's future. Operation: Right to
|
||
|
|
Know will provide networking and support for these activities.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A bulletin, The Right to Know Forum, describing our activities is
|
||
|
|
available now, and will soon develop into a regular newsletter with
|
||
|
|
exciting news from around the country. For free copies of past issues
|
||
|
|
of The Right to Know Forum, and further information on how you can
