MD 8th District Congressional Campaign of Stephen Bassett

Press Release - August 14, 2002

Bethesda, MD - Stephen Bassett has been nominated to the
November ballot as an independent candidate for the House of
Representatives in the 8th Congressional District. He will be
joined there by the Republican incumbent, Constance Morella, and
the winner of the September 10 Democratic primary.

This campaign will represent a milestone in American politics.
Mr. Bassett will be the first person to appear on any federal or
gubernatorial, general election ballot who speaks to the fact of
an extraterrestrial presence manifest about the planet and the
government imposed embargo on the truth of that fact.

The campaign website is: www.Disclosure2003.net

While the candidate will address a range of national issues in
media appearances and on the campaign website, the following key
areas of importance will be foremost:

1) Disclosure, the formal acknowledgment by the U.S. government
of an extraterrestrial presence, is inevitable. The current
administration should take advantage of favorable conditions and
move to disclose in early 2003.

2) Open, comprehensive congressional hearings should be
initiated immediately to take the testimony of dozens of high
ranking, former government and agency employees who have come
forward with firsthand experience relating to an
extraterrestrial presence and the government imposed truth
embargo.

See: www.disclosureproject.org

3) The impact of the extraterrestrial presence on the growth and
tenor of the U.S. intelligence infrastructure since 1947. See:
UFOs and the National Security State - Richard Dolan

4) The unacceptable manner in which the top-tier news media have
covered UFO/ET research and the "politics of disclosure" and the
inappropriate relationship which has evolved between top-tier
news media and the U.S. intelligence infrastructure. See:
Missing Times: News Media Complicity in the UFO Cover-up - Terry
Hansen

5) Extraordinary technologies of global impact, which may be
sequestered behind the national security curtain and held
hostage to the truth embargo. See: The Day After Roswell - Lt.
Col. Philip J. Corso

6) The 4-year effort by Laurance Rockefeller to convince the
President of the United States, William Clinton, to engage the
UFO/ET issue and open the government files. See:
www.presidentialufo.com

7) The multiple-agency suppression of two studies of the matter
of a manifest extraterrestrial intelligence initiated by the
Carter White House in 1977. See: www.presidentialufo.com

Stephen Bassett is the founder of Paradigm Research Group;
Executive Director of the Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political
Action Committee (X-PPAC, pronounced "expack"), the first PAC in
history to target the political implications of UFO/ET
phenomena; author of the Paradigm Clock website; and a political
columnist/commentator. He is the only registered lobbyist in the
U.S. representing UFO/ET research/activist organizations. He
announced his candidacy on April 19, 2002.
