FIFTY YEARS IS ENOUGH!

FREE THE FILES – FIND THE TRUTH

COPA held our 20th annual conference in Dallas which will mark the 50th anniversary of the assassination of President Kennedy and the 45th anniversaries of the murders of Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King.

Due to issues with broadband at the hotel server we had difficulty bringing in some remote speakers as well as live-casting all the speakers. We apologize for the problems, we did try to correct them during the presentations. We will post some of the key presentations at the website and our YouTube page soon. Those wanting the full DVD set for all speakers can make a donation of $50 or more to COPA, PO Box 772, Washington, DC 20044 or at this website using the Donation button and Paypal.
