Press Release 001 – July 2015
CAPA - To Take on Political Assassinations and Free the JFK Files
The newly formed political action organization “CAPA” - Citizens Against Political Assassinations - announced its arrival this week with the filing of a series of Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and the announcement of its support of a number of appeals for records that have been denied.
The full enforcement of the JFK Records Act and the release of all assassination records are some of the goals of CAPA which also intends to file FOIA suits against the government. CAPA also seeks to make public access to unreasonably classified records an issue in the current presidential campaign.
“We oppose political assassinations as a means of obtaining and maintaining power,” said Dr. Cyril Wecht, CAPA chairman, “and we are determined to seek truth and justice and to educate people as to the dangers political assassinations pose to all societies.”
“We have already won the hearts and minds of the American people on the need for full disclosure and accountability,” said San Francisco attorney Bill Simpich, “now we have to win the political battle to see that the law is enforced and the Constitution is upheld.”
“We have two more years to obtain the full disclosure of records in the JFK case,” Simpich said, “and if we want to succeed we have to make full disclosure of our nation’s secret history a central issue in the presidential election.”
According to the JFK Records Act of 1992, the next president of the United States will decide in October 2017 whether to release the remaining records or to continue to withhold them for reasons of national security.
As an association of concerned citizens, we believe it is now in the best interest of our national security to release all of the remaining sealed assassination records so the people can make up their own minds as to what happened and what to do about it.
