Participatory democracy at work as readers  join the Citizens’ Grand Jury Investigation

•     In just two months, more than a thousand Citizen Grand Jury Indictment forms have been submitted by readers from across the country, unanimously opposing recreation at Rocky Flats, agreeing that we proved the government cover-up, and calling for an investigation of plans to build Rocky Flats II.

•     Readers have purchased extra copies of The Ambushed Grand Jury and sent them to their Congressional representatives. Co-author Wes McKinley and the book were introduced to the Colorado legislature. A grandmother in Alabama bought ten copies and took them around to the local public school libraries. Web sites are sprouting up featuring excerpts from the book.

•    Public Hearings in the Denver area were filled to overflowing with local citizens opposing recreation at Rocky Flats. Many carried copies of The Ambushed Grand Jury, and someone formally entered the book into the public record as evidence of the dangers of recreation at the former nuclear weapons plant. US Fish and Wildlife officials who will make the decision about recreation at Rocky Flats are reading the book.

•    Congressman Mark Udall (D.Col) has requested the local health department, the EPA and the Department of Energy to investigate and report back to him about the documentation inThe Ambushed Grand Jury showing hidden contamination at Rocky Flats.  He is scheduled to take a tour in August with Jacque Brever and other Citizen Investigators so she can point out the areas of radioactive waste dumping in the planned recreation area.

•    Book discussion groups are starting at local libraries and civic groups. A volunteer retired librarian has developed book discussion questions which appear on our website.

•    FBI Special Agent Jon Lipsky, who still works for the FBI, was braced for firing and condemnation for helping The Ambushed Grand Jury uncover the cover-up. Instead, his colleagues are stopping him in the halls and sending him emails from across the country thanking him for speaking out.
