U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly, R-16th, Chairman House task force investigating the attempted assassination of now President-elect Donald
Republican Congressman Mike Kelly who Chaired the Congressional Task Force investigating the July 13th attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, whines about law enforcement withholding important data, but he also continues to face scrutiny for withholding critical investigative documents from the public.AbleChild contacted Congressman Kelly’s office requesting a copy of the PA State Police Report and a copy of the Allegheny County Coroner’s Autopsy on Thomas Matthew Crooks and was told to “FOIA it.” Why should any American have to FOIA reports that were obtained during a Congressional Task force investigation? In addition, there are no laws preventing their release. The documents were used to complete the investigative report. Why should Congressman Kelly have the final say in what Americans are allowed to know about the Butler assassination attempt? The American taxpayers paid for the Task force to conduct the investigation and should be entitled to see all the documents collected as part of the investigation. The Congressman’s office is well aware that any FOIA request could take months, if not years, to get a response. Make no mistake, Kelly’s refusal to release requested documents raises serious concerns about transparency and accountability in this high-profile case. Unfortunately, despite the Task force’s efforts in its final 180-page report, no specific information identifying the alleged shooter and motive for the attack has been made public. Talk about waste and abuse. The Task force “investigation” produced literally no new information about who the shooter is and why the attack occurred. It didn’t even provide physical evidence to prove the alleged shooter was Thomas Crooks.
Founded in 2001 by parents who had their own personal experiences with label and drug coercion by the education system, Ablechild has a personal commitment to inform, support, and unite others faced with all aspects involving labeling and drugging children. Ablechild has a full understanding of what a parent/caregiver goes through when dealing with school systems recommending, and many times pressuring a parent for mental health evaluations. We recognize that schools will many times force-feed mental health approaches on parents, while steering clear of science-based education resources and solutions.
We Need You
AbleChild is nothing without our supporters. Our organization is non-profit and we rely on support from our community to keep our services alive. Join us our on our journey to inform the world by donating financially, sharing our information, or following us on social media. Thanks to everyone who makes this possible!
Knowing that informed consent is a must and a critical component in making an educated decision, Ablechild and many of its individual members have worked diligently since 2001 to provide the public with extensive information at Federal, State, and Local Governmental hearings, at educational conferences, events, Governmental meetings, and throughout national and local media circuits. We have directly advocated and worked on creating laws that would strengthen “Informed Consent” and guarantee a person’s “Right to Refuse” psychological testing and services via the education system.
Many members of this organization have advocated directly for state and federal legislation outlawing school personnel from recommending psychotropic drugs for children within schools across the nation. We can proudly say that our organization and the united efforts of its members were instrumental in the lobbying and passing of the Federal law entitled “Prohibition on Mandatory Medication Act”. This law is now part of the 2004 Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) and stands as the first of its kind, outlawing forced child drugging on a federal level.
