"Washington, DC - Public awareness of UFO/ET phenomena and government suppression of the facts behind them has never been greater.  During the 2008 campaign season, national office candidates and incumbents should prepare themselves to receive tough questions from their constituents."

From an X-PPAC Congressional Alert sent to all House and Senate members.

UFO/ET Related Questions with Follow-ups
for the National Candidates

»   [Primary question for every candidate]    As President of the United States will you release to the American people all government documents relating to alleged extraterrestrial phenomena and will you demand a full briefing from the military services and intelligence agencies regarding these phenomena? 

»   [For Bill Richardson]  Governor, in your foreword to the 2006 book, The Roswell Dig Diaries, you wrote: "the mystery surrounding this crash (at Roswell) has never been adequately explained - not by independent investigators, and not by the U.S. government."    As President of the United States will you release to the American people all government documents relating to alleged extraterrestrial phenomena and will you demand a full briefing from the military services and intelligence agencies regarding these phenomena? 

• [Follow-up]   Governor, in 2002 and 2003 former Clinton top advisor and chief of staff, John Podesta, also publicly called for declassifying these documents, yet the political press made no effort to follow up with either him or you and Democratic Party adversaries made no challenge or attempt at ridiculing either of you.  Do you not find that inexplicable?
