UNITED
STATES FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT TO
MANY SECRETS KEPT
TOO LONG Our
nation is at risk because of excessive secrecy. We
must elect a congress that will work to find a way to manage and declassify
secrets so that we the people can know what is going on with our government. Why
9/11 events still secret? The
people should know what our government is doing. SECRET
DOCUMENTS FINANCIAL COSTS OF KEEPING
SECRETS Our
federal government has grown too big and too powerful with over
90 million secret documents as of year-2011; with no
information on how many have been created and categorized as classified in
the most recent 7 years. The cost to classify and store in 2011 alone was
$11.36 billion. JFK
ASSASSINATION 55
YEARS AGO Trump,
on behalf of some government service UPON
RELEASE OF SOME OF KENNEDY ASSIGNATION DOCUMENTS “executive departments and agencies have proposed to me
that certain information should continue to be redacted because of national
security, law enforcement, and foreign affairs concerns.” CONSTITUTION The
constitution, in article 1 section 5 allows secrecy for the Congress, not for
the executive. So the executive has created the idea of executive privilege
and seems to be able to keep congress in the dark regarding executive
secrets. EXECUTIVE
PRIVILEGE Supreme Court
invented that term, executive privilege as part of separation of powers. WEB
TALK ON EXECUTIVE PRIVILEDGE The
president issues executive orders to regulate these documents, the current
order is EO 13526 and the automatic declassification is 25 years (unless
there are reasons to continue secrecy). Herbert
