Hi Everybody!

Declassify UAP has started to receive attention a bit ahead of plans. Politico's "lobbying beat" reporter saw our Federal lobbying registration hit the public systems last week, and featured it (https://www.politico.com/newsletters/politico-influence/2023/07/31/a-…) in her column Monday (the reporter, Caitlin Oprysko, did an awesome job).

NewsNation saw that, and had me on Wednesday (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zi2IiQDhXHs), and then again yesterday evening on Elizabeth Vargas Reports. I had a great time on both appearances, and really appreciate both Nick Smith and Elizabeth Vargas' coverage of the topic broadly, and Declassify UAP specifically. The NewsNation booking and technical staffs have also been terrific.

Most of my career has been spent in media technology, but definitely on the *other* side of the camera! All I can say is, I hope I'm doing the cause proud, and am learning as I go along.

A friend posted NewsNation's initial Declassify UAP coverage the other day, and I am going to paste here a few responses I provided, if this is the first you're hearing about the organization (which will be officially launching before the summer is through, by hook or by crook!)

If you have any questions that aren't answered below, ask away! I think folks here will really like what they see once the site goes up. Any Shel Silverstein fans here? To me, this was my sense of at least one big "missing piece" in all of this. I can only hope I'll be able to help deliver!

Thanks much, and CALL. YOUR. REPS!!! Congress.gov (https://Congress.gov), upper-right corner for lookup! Be polite, only call your own reps, give your full name, contact info, tell them you support UAP declassification, and that you expect an official call or email back on your rep's stance on the issue! IT REALLY REALLY WORKS! One House rep, two Senators, and the President. If even a small percentage of the 1.3 million members of r/UFOs do this (which takes about 10-15 minutes tops) once every few months, WE WILL PUSH THIS OVER THE TOP!

Best,

Nick

Main activities of Declassify UAP:

• Support grassroots citizen engagement with their own Federal reps, by providing easy and quick-to-use tools to send messages supporting UAP declassification to their reps (we have a contract with one of the leading vendors of such "voter/constituent engagement platforms");

• Provide lots of useful info to U.S. voters, so they can stay informed on this "political domain" of UAP as things move forward (breakdowns of relevant legislation, official reports, hearings, etc.);

• Engage in direct lobbying down in D.C. -- these direct efforts will only be effective, if they are backed by a large number of folks who have signaled support of Declassify UAP's mission (folks who have used our tools to contact their reps, and are signed up for the Declassify UAP email list -- U.S. voters who do this will represent Declassify UAP's supporter base).
