The National POW/MIA Initiative Petition Drive, launched this amended petition which seeks the assistance of Rolling Thunder® Inc., with the full support of the National Alliance of Families, and all and every other veterans organization and group, to include as well all voting and non-voting citizens of the United States call upon the President and Congress to;

Direct the Department of Defense to recognize the Prisoner of War" (POW) (MIA-C) any member of the U.S. Armed Forces, paramilitary, militia, U.S. citizens employed by a U.S. agency or under U.S. Government contract who are captured and held against his/her will as being top priority in investigating and seeking their return to the United States.

Whereby within the Department of Defense, The State Department, CIA, DIA, NSA and all other Federal Government and Military Office which operation in and outside the United States will for the first time to work together gathering information on live sightings classified and or non-classified that will be provided to our National POW/MIA Initiative Task Force with it’s members appointed by the office of the President and all members of Congress and the Senate who will take action based on the request of the voters/citizens of America who want a answer to why there has been no government based agency engaged in rescue attempts going back as far as World War II.

IN addition we the undersign request that upon receipt a “Citizen based Task Force” be given this right so that the men and women who have serviced in wars fought by America can have the help they need to get back and all assistance needed to return them to a safe haven within the United States with full honor and rights returned to them as United States Citizens.

Because of the factor there have been at least 20,000 reported sightings of these POW/MIA’s still alive within foreign nations and many seen within prisoner of war camps, we are seeking to have a special investigative panel appointed. Those on that committee will be chosen by our organization and will be granted full investigative power and also we seek to have executive orders from the President in order to enable us to do everything possible to get these men and women back home on America soil.

Within this committee we will also be launching legal assistance fund to help the families and the men and women who will be returning as well as a sub panel involved in the issue of helping the returnees with the issue of housing, mental health, money, and employment which will be offered up without bias.

The fact that holding these prisoners is in violation of the Geneva Code and in violation of the prisoner of war acts we seek that this commission and taskforce be setup without delay because of the impact this will have on these POW/MIA rights to freedom under these codes and laws.

We want POW/MIA men and women back home on American soil.
