The man who brought us the Citizen
Hearing on Disclosure has now begun phase 2 of his campaign to get the
President to admit that the government is aware of an extraterrestrial presence
on earth.
Stephen Bassett was the organizer
for the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure. He brought dozens of presenters to
testify in front of a committee of former members of the US Congress “about
events and evidence indicating an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human
race.” The event was held April 29 to May 3, 2013 at the National Press Club in
Washington D.C.
His event garnered a lot of media
attention. As usual, a lot of it was tongue in cheek and made fun of his
efforts, but some of it was less critical. Either way, the event was praised by
the UFO activists. He was even awarded the researcher of the year award at the International
UFO Congress.
Now, over a year after the
mock-congressional hearings, Bassett is moving forward with the second phase of
his effort. This phase is called the Citizen Hearing Initiative.
On his website,
Bassett says on November 5 he sent 538 copies of a 10 disc DVD set that
includes all of the testimony from the Citizen Hearing to every member of the
United States Congress. He then asked supporters of his cause to engage members
of the congress via social media requesting them to view the videos and hold
congressional hearings on “extraterrestrial related phenomena.”
He says, ” This will be a
concentrated three-month effort accompanied by substantial media
coverage. If congressional hearings are held, it is quite likely the
truth embargo will collapse.”
Thus far there has not been a lot of
media attention, although The Washington Times did post a short write-up
yesterday.
Bassett is also hoping to leverage
the power of the tweet and hashtags. He is hoping that supporters will help
create a “Tweet-Email Storm” by tweeting and emailing members of the house and
the senate. He asks that tweeters send messages using the hashtag #Disclosure.

“make it rain,” you can find more information on his website.
Aliens are certainly a hot topic in
Washington D.C. right now. However, congress is having a hard enough time
deciding what to do about the terrestrial type. Will a twitter storm be enough
for them to put those concerns aside and tackle aliens of an extraterrestrial
nature? It might be a task that even tweetin’ can’t accomplish.
