But someday, somewhere, someone may find out the damn truth.
We better.
We better or we might just as well build ourselves another government
like the Declaration of Independence says to
when the old one ain't work, just...
Just a little farther out West.
An American naturalist wrote,
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country
against its government.
I'd hate to be in your shoes today.
You're going back to when we were children,
I think that most of us in this courtroom thought that...
justice came in to be automatically.
That virtue was its own reward that...
That good will triumph over evil.
But as we get older we know this just isn't true.
Individual human beings have to create justice, and this is not easy
because the truth often poses a threat to power,
and one often has to fight power at great risk to themselves.
People like S.M. Holland, Lee Bowers,
Jean Hill, Willie O'Keefe,
have all taken that risk, they've all come forward.
I have here some 8 thousand dollars in these letters
sent to my office from all over the country.
Quarters, dimes, dollar bills from housewives
plumbers, car salesmen, teachers, invalids.
These are people who cannot afford to send money but do.
These are the ones who drive the cabs,
who nurse in hospitals, who see their kids go to Vietnam.
Why? Because they care.
Because they want to know the truth.
Because they want their country back.
Because it still belongs to us,
as long as the people have the guts to fight for what they believe in.
The truth is the most important value we have
because if the truth is not endure,
if the government murders truth,
if we cannot respect the hearts of these people
this is not the country in which I was born
and certainly not the country that I want to die in.
Tennyson wrote, Authority forgets a dying king.
This was never more true than for John F. Kennedy,
whose murder was probably one of the most terrible moments
in the history of our country.
We, the people, the jury system sitting in judgment on Clay Shaw
represent the hope of humanity against government power.
In discharging your duty
to bringing a first conviction in this house of cards
against Clay Shaw,
Ask not what your country can do for you
but what you can do for your country.
Do not forget your dying king.
Show this world
that this is still a government of the people, for the people
and by the people.
Nothing as long as you live will ever be more important.
It's up to you.
