Coalition on Political Assassinations

Friends,

I have compiled a proposal for a Real Democracy Project that encompasses many of the programs I am already working on or want to establish. All of them are critical aspects of creating real democracy in this time of crisis, which are not being addressed fully, effectively or in some cases at all by other organizations.

Right now, Paul Nahra, a COPA volunteer and researcher, is helping me organize my extensive political library and files. The intelligence library that was the basis of former CIA agent Ralph McGeehee's CIA Base is being supplemented with hundreds of books of my own on intelligence history, agents, agencies, covert operations here and abroad, Vietnam and later wars, drugs, mind control and assassinations. Two other exhaustive libraries have been compiled on major political assassinations and 9/11, including its historical context and aftermath.

Another large collection focuses on activism and social critique from the 60s to the present, including a very extensive documentation of anti-war movements during Vietnam and since. We are still short on shelving and file cabinets to contain all the materials and books, and his labor is currently being donated.

I already have the skeleton in place needed to serve as an administrative office, with much of the equipment and communications tools in place at a very reasonable rental. Each project already has potential staff working or ready to be tasked. My current housemate, Mike Zmolek, also a former staffer for Rep. McKinney, will be working with me on these projects as financial support allows.

The Real Democracy Project, as envisioned here, combines my various local and national efforts towards peace, justice, transparency, public education and organizing, and preservation of lost and hidden history of both repression and resistance to it. Without basic changes in the structure of public enlightenment, government secrecy and covert operations, restoration of the commonwealth, open media and schools, and the empowerment of direct democracy, we will never overcome the negative pressures of poverty, racism and militarism that were identified by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as our main obstacles. Working on these issues is far more important to me right now, and to our future, than exhausting my time and consciousness merely to accumulate money

A reasonable amount of seed money will allow us to start more serious fundraising, through my website, lectures, sales of recordings and writing, several upcoming books, as well as approaches to foundations and larger donors. I am writing to you to ask you to consider making a founding contribution to this effort. I know that some of you have different resources, and one option would be to make a monthly donation that would sustain the project over time. Those who can contribute a substantial amount, I am asking to consider giving seed money either to the whole project or any program they wish to support. If you want to support the current work on my library, for instance, just note "library" on the check. Donations can be made tax-deductible if needed through "9/11 Research Project". Otherwise, a donation to COPA (Coalition on Political Assassinations) will be earmarked for whatever part of the RDP you designate on the check. Any donation will help at this critical time.

I appreciate your support. If you have questions or other ideas, feel free to contact me by email. Send donations to:
