Independent Counsel to Investigate the POW/MIA Issus
Posted on September 29, 2008

|
Below is the resolution which Kentucky state Senator Dan Seum is pre-filing. Representative Tim Moore is also filing the same in the House in Kentucky. So far, Senator Walter Blevins and Representative Richard Henderson are signed on. We need to contact all Kentucky Senators and Representatives and ask them to sign on as a co-sponsor. Your senator needs to contact Senator Dan Seum
and sign on to the resolution asking for an independent counsel to be appointed in Washington, DC to investigate the POW/MIA issue. Also contact your Kentucky representative and ask that they contact Representative Tim Moore and co-sponsor.
Several other states (Michigan, Rhode Island, Indiana, and other states) already have the same resolution. Please contact your nearest
POW/MIA or veterans organization for more information. If they do not know,
then maybe they need to be doing something.
If you do not know who your senator or representative is that works at the state capitol in Frankfort, KY, the person who answers the toll free message line can help you find out who they are.
Call the toll free number in Frankfort, KY (1-800-372-7181) and ask to leave a message for your senator. The person answering will need your name, address and phone number.
Leave the message for your senator to contact Sen. Dan Seum and
to be a co-sponsor on the resolution asking that an independent counsel be
appointed in Washington, DC to investigate the POW/MIA issue. Also leave the
same message for your representative to contact Representative Tim Moore and
to be a co-sponsor on the resolution asking that an independent counsel be
appointed in Washington, DC to investigate the POW/MIA issue.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION urging the United States Congress to appoint an
independent counsel to investigate the issue of American prisoners of war
and those missing in action.
WHERAS, the issue of prisoners of war and those missing in action (POW/MIA)
has been a national dilemma since the end of WWII; and
WHERAS, there is a strong need for an independent investigation into all
unresolved matters relating to any United States personnel unaccounted for
from the Vietnam era, the Korean conflict, World War II, Cold War missions,
or the Gulf War, including MIAs and POWs; and
WHERAS, it is the responsibility and the duty of the United States
government to bring home Americans missing in action from the Vietnam War,
the Cold War, the Korean War, World War II, and the Gulf War; and
WHERAS; as of July 2005, the Government Accountability Office listed 88,115
service men and women unaccounted for from World War II, the Korean and Cold
War conflicts, the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and other conflicts; and
WHERAS, American POWs and their missing comrades have demonstrated the true
spirit of our nation and should never be forgotten; and
WHERAS; the families of these inspiring Americans deserve to know what truly
happened to their loved ones; and
WHERAS; Americas from every generation have answered the call to duty with
dedication and valor; these brave Americans deserve the respect and
gratitude of our nation and all efforts should be made to resolve the
POW/MIA issue in their honor;
NOW, THEREFORE,
Be it resolved by the Senate of the General Assembly of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky, the House of Representatives concurring therein:
>Section 1. Both the Kentucky Senate and the House of Representatives
strongly urge the United States Congress to appoint an independent counsel to
investigate the POW/MIA issue.
>Section 2. Copies of this resolution shall be transmitted to the presiding officers of each chamber of Congress of the United States and to each member
of the Kentucky congressional delegation.
