Political Changes May Imperil Congressional Probe into Kent St Shootings
Snip:

KENT, Ohio -- A congressional probe into new revelations about the Kent State shootings will be hampered -- or may be curtailed -- by voters' decision Tuesday to hand Republicans control of the House of Representives...much more at link.

I urge anyone who cares about truth to please call, email, or fax the Dept of Justice, AG Eric Holder and AAG Thomas Perez, to open an inquiry into the 1970 shootings at Kent State and to examine the Kent State tape.



Call: 202.514.3465
Email: oipl@usdoj.gov
Fax: 202.514.8336


After 40 years we need to know the truth.

4. In the UK, it took almost 40 years for the truth to come out about Bloody Sunday in Derry


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bloody_Sunday_%281972%29

But the truth DID finally come out in that case.

5. Didn't know that.
Maybe there is hope. There should always be Hope, it's just hard to hold onto it sometimes.

7. It was a premeditated massacre. What other conclusion can be made?
Perhaps there is something I am missing.

8. There is a rightwing new history of this, part of their vietnam new history
that has the poor widdle nat guard units defending themselves from an armed assault by hippies. The purported evidence is a pistol shot captured in one of the tapes.

I too welcome an open investigation as the deaths of my bothers and sisters at Kent State, at Jackson State and elsewhere remain etched on what is left of my brain.
