The RICO Campaign for Survivor Justice

To:  George W. Bush, President of the United States Alberto Gonzales, Attorney General of the United States Robert S. Mueller, III, Director, The Federal Bureau of Investigation

Whereas the Catholic Church in America has been rocked with the revelation of outrageous sex crimes against children and youth Ñ some of which include the trafficking of children within our country and outside of it; and

Whereas thousands of Catholic priests have abused tens of thousands of children and youth as well as exploited and raped adult women and men; and

Whereas this tragedy was not the result of one incompetent bishop, but rather the result of the determined and systematic efforts by many, if not most bishops, to cover up sex crimes by their priests Ñ and even by themselves; and

Whereas the Catholic Church has not reformed itself but continues to systematically thwart the human rights of sexual abuse survivors to gain justice for sex crimes committed against them; and

Whereas while some local prosecutors have made efforts to bring Catholic bishops to justice and accountability, local efforts will not and can not deal with the enormity of this problem of corruption on a national level,

THEREFORE LET IT BE RESOLVED that the undersigned demand the Federal Government of the United States of America open a RICO investigation of the Catholic Church in the United State

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
