PLEASE DISTRIBUTE THIS FAR AND WIDE Now the voters of New York City have an unprecedented opportunity to accomplish what the government has avoided doing. They can establish an independent and impartial investigation which will be "fact-driven and follow wherever the evidence leads", rather than echo the government's explanation of the tragic events. This can be done by placing a referendum on the Nov. ’08 ballot allowing voters to vote for the creation of a new, independent Commission with subpoena power. If passed, the Commission would be a legally recognized body because it was created through the ballot initiative process as a citizens-based campaign. People outside of NYC can also support the campaign in important ways. This effort is supported by many 9/11 victims

families. The Commission would also pursue remedies to alleviate the hardship of 9/11 first responders who have suffered terrible health effects as well as financial loss. Details are at www.nyc911initiative.org. Your help is needed NOW. The organizers need to gather a minimum of 30,000 valid signatures by June 1st, 2008 to get this referendum on the November ballot. Just 500 volunteers can gather 200 signatures in just 2 weeks part-time, totally 100,000. This would be desirable to have the impact needed to signal City Council and Mayor Bloomberg that NYC voters want truth and justice. For those who reside outside of the NYC area but know residents here, you can forward

this to them and urge them to simply download the petition and mail it in.Why must we seize this opportunity? Consider the following reasons:The events of 9/11 and the ensuing military ventures exactly mirror what was outlined in The Project For a New American Century's white paper titled "Rebuilding Americas's Defenses". This ultra-right wing group have never been held to account. A large body of evidence has accumulated which reveal that the 9/11 Commission was a seriously flawed. Even the co-chairmen, Tom Kean and Lee Hamilton, stated that the investigation was “doomed to fail” in their book “Without Precedent”. Also, the recent book by NY Times journalist Philip Shenon titled “The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Commission”

is filled with facts that highlight the conflicts of interest and obstruction that occurred.The US PATRIOT Act was rammed through Congress just 6 weeks after 9/11 and began another series of legislation which have all but erased our civil liberties.The infrastructure for police state measures has emerged which include high tech surveillance, laws and executive orders for enacting martial law with the occurrence of another "catastrophic event", suppression of dissent, private armies like Blackwater, and more.The Center For Public Integrity recently identified 935 lies told by 7 members of the Bush Administration which misled Congress and the public into supporting the Iraq war. The human cost and financial cost is indeterminable. The environmental cost is also of horrendous magnitude. The

conclusion is that it's basically impossible that we were told the truth about what occurred on 9/11.We may never get another opportunity to obtain truth and justice for 9/11. Please go to www.nyc911initiative.org for full details. Fill out the Guest Book to stay informed of developments. To see photos of petitioners having a good time and doing the work, go to www.nyc911initiative.org/petitioning.htm. With your help we can correct history and re-chart our direction towards a future that our children can live and thrive in. Another way to help is by donating funds to help us pay

for advertising, materials, etc. We're now running ads on Air America Radio for just $120 each and need to run at least 10 per week.Politicians may promise change, but real, comprehensive change can only happen when we participate in Direct Democracy as well as having the hundreds of unanswered questions of 9/11 fully addressed.
