It's not about stupidity, and the "hard" part is not sending the A49 letter - however you want to achieve this e.g., via a new referendum is your problem, not ours - it's the easy part.

Lots of people asking how to easily search the Epstein files. The DOJ search is rubbish. Other public searches don't have all the documents.
Here are the instructions (for Linux). Anyone with moderate technical ability can do this within an hour or so.
