From Stanley Kurtz' article
The immediate concern is to swiftly gain public access to the Chicago Annenberg Challenge records, and to ensure the security of these documents in the meantime. Despite UIC library’s claim that it hopes to be able to provide access within the next few weeks, the apparently shifting and contradictory character of their reasons for denying access have left me with a low level of confidence in these assurances.
I intend to continue my efforts to examine the Chicago Annenberg Challenge records, to take notes, and to order extensive photocopies, to be mailed to me and/or received personally by me, in a timely fashion. I call on the UIC library to take extraordinary steps to secure the documents until such time as this issue is resolved. The public needs clear assurances that none of the CAC records have been, or will be, damaged or removed. I call on UIC library to reveal the name of the donor of the CAC records and/or to specify the person, persons, or body that currently hold authority over these records. I also call on Barack Obama to voice support for the swift release of these records.
Libraries are designed, not to unduly restrict information, but to make it available to an interested public. This country is now mere months away from a momentous presidential election in which a central issue is the political background and character of a relatively young and unknown senator. The Chicago Annenberg Challenge records almost surely contain important information on Senator Obama’s political associations, policy views, ideological leanings, and leadership ability. His role as board chairman of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge is the most important executive experience Obama has held to date. Given this, the public has an urgent right to know what is in the Chicago Annenberg Challenge records.
If you agree, then please write to the president of the University of Illinois system, B. Joseph White. Ask him to take immediate public steps to insure the safety of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge records, to release the identity of the Collection’s donor, and above all to swiftly make the Collection available to me, and to the public at large. You can find an email link for White here. Telephone, fax, and mailing addresses for White’s offices can be found here.

Does Kurtz have access to the documentation now or not?
I thought he was already given access to those documents? Is that not true?
Yes he has accessed them and written extensively about it in NR/NRO and the WSJ
No, Stanley Kurtz does not have access to all documents. Many of the documents remain embargoed.
There's the ever growing lists of documents being withheld.
There's the ever growing lists of lies not slapped down.
There's the ever growing list of investigations, law suits and arrests surrounding him.
There's the ever growing fraudulent votes for him.
There's the ever growing sheeple idolization.
There's the ever growing list of our country's enemies supporting him.
There's the ever growing concern of riots and civil outbreak come November.
There's the ever growing fear of him.
This is a little off topic but it need’s Freeper attention.
A caller on Quinn and Rose this morning said Billy Cunningham had someone on his show who said Bill Ayers was at one of the BHO debates sitting near Michele. The caller said she thought Fox might have the film. Don’t have a clue if this is correct or if the person who claims to have seen Ayers really saw anything. However, it’s worth someone from the great Freeper sleuthing crowd to check out.
This is the Email I received from the President of University of Illinois. I wish that MN_MIKE would have stated in his posting that it is an old posting instead of putting it out as if it is breaking news.
The records were made available to the public August 26 at 10am. Mr. Kurtz has been in the library reviewing the documents.
Joe White
