They may push it back, even then.
It may become a Generational affair;
Questions passed from Parent to Child;
But someday, somewhere,
It may become a Generational affair;
Questions passed from Parent to Child;
But someday, somewhere,
someone may find out the damn Truth.
We better.
Or we might
just as well
build ourselves
build ourselves
another Government --
Like The Declaration of Independence
says to, 'when the old one ain't workin',
push out just a bit farther out West.
An American naturalist wrote:
"A Patriot must always be ready to
defend His Country against its Government."
I'd hate to be in your shoes today.

You have a lot to think about.
You've seen evidence
The Public hasn't seen.
Going back to when We were children
I Think most of us in this courtroom
thought Justice came automatically.
That Virtue was its own reward.
That Good triumphs over Evil.
But as We get older,
We know This isn't True.
Individual Human Beings
have to CREATE Justice, and
This is not easy because The Truth
often poses A Threat to Power and
one often has to fight Power
at great risk to themselves.

People like
S.M. Holland,
Lee Bowers,
Jean Hill,
Willie O'Keefe;
have all taken that risk
and they've all come forward --

I have here some
$8,000 in these
letters sent from
all over The Country.
Quarters, dimes,
dollars from Housewives,
Plumbers, Car-salesmen,
Teachers, Invalids...
....these are people who cannot
afford to SEND Money but DO.
People who Drive cabs,
who Nurse in Hospitals, who
see Their Kids go to Vietnam.
Why?
Because They CARE.
Because They want to know The Truth.
Because They want Their Country back.
Because it still Belongs to Us
as long as The People have The Guts
to Fight for What They Believe in.
The Truth is The Most
important Value We have
because if it doesn't endure,
if The Government murders Truth,
if We cannot RESPECT these people, then
This is NOT The Country I was born in,
and it is certainly not The Country
I want to Die in --

"Authority forgets a Dying King."
This was never more True than
for John F. Kennedy, whose Murder
was probably one of the
most TERRIBLE moments
in The HISTORY of Our Country.
We, The People,
The Jury-System
sitting in Judgment
on Clay Shaw, represent
The Hope of Humanity

The Hope of Humanity
against Government Power.
In discharging Your Duty
to bring a first Conviction
in this House of Cards
against Clay Shaw "Ask not
what Your Country can
Do for You, but what You
can Do for Your Country."
what Your Country can
Do for You, but what You
can Do for Your Country."
Do not FORGET
Your Dying King.
Show This World. this
is still A Government
OF The People,
FOR The People
and BY The People."

and BY The People."
Nothing as long as You Live
Will EVER be more Important --
....it's Up to You.
