Sorry dude, it's my fault for not making my point more clearly.
I did not state nor intend to imply any form of censorship.

Ufology has most probably changed more in the past two weeks
than ever before (in "our" favor). However, the U.S. military is
never going to give a respected UFOlogist a video of unknown
objects. Furthermore, we will never be able to knock on the door
of a "military house of public information" and gain access to
the information that we all know is there. Therefore, we
absolutely must have politicians on "our" side to help us gain
more access to this information. There is no better time than
right now!

Politics is a game, not a science. This has nothing to do with
"social political policies." President Bush is the most powerful
politician in the United States and we could do no better than
to obtain his help. The same goes for each member of the United
States Congress.

I'm not saying we have to praise their policies, give them
cookies or kiss their butts. I'm saying that we must have their
help.

If you wish to express negative opinions of our political
leaders, that is fine. Do it on another list as that has
absolutely no relevance to this list. Saying things to piss
politicians off does not help us at all.

We've got the most intelligent minds on the subject of UFOs in
the world right here on this list. They have not the time to
play the political game. I've only been following this subject
for the past 30 years, but I'll do it if necessary. Somebody
must do this as we absolutely need help from the politicians.
Now is the best time because the heat is on.
