Lincoln Vermont Voted 34-17 in favor of a New Investigation on 9/11

[George Washington's comment: given that at least 34 towns in Vermont have voted for impeachment, this is an interesting development]

Lincoln is one of those beautiful Vermont town you would die to live in. The ski area surgarbush is there and I try to ride as much as possible. But anyways there was a discussion at the end of town meeting at Lincoln about a new 9/11 investigation in which people talk in favor of one and no one talked there that was against it. I dont know what the rest of the states have for there town meetings but people should model the efforts of us Vermonters ( Wake up the masses and get em off there asses)

If anyone is thinking about doing some activism during this next Presidential election or just wants to get the hell out of the city
e-mail me purifieddone@Yahoo.com We have 6 1/2 feet at Sugarbush pack up your ski and snowboards and ride.

So

whats the next step?

my suggestion is to (among

my suggestion is to (among other activities) get as many people as you can to get out in public on The Eleventh of Every Month. Do something public, even if it’s putting up a sign in your yard on that day! Consistency is the key to anything, and a concerted effort every month to do something in the public eye, the fruits of our efforts will grow steadily. The truth with consistent and constant effort and vigilance will come out. BTW anyone live in/near Cincinnati?

Voters say no to new 9/11 investigation

Burlington voters Tuesday rejected a local group's call for a new investigation of the events of Sept. 11, 2001, by a nearly two-to-one ratio.

The vote was 3,150 to 1,817. The ballot question passed 39-17 in Lincoln, proponent Matthew Ennis said. The issue never generated much debate in Burlington.

"I'm very surprised," said Marc Estrin, spokesman for the Burlington group, which gained enough signatures to place the question on the ballot. "I was expecting the opposite direction."

The ballot item would have asked Vermont's congressional delegation to push for a new investigation. Sens. Patrick Leahy and Bernie Sanders and Rep. Peter Welch made clear in January that they weren't likely to move in that direction.

The question won approval in Wards 2 and 3 -- 71 percent in favor in the latter -- but lost in the city's remaining five wards, with more than 70 percent of voters in Wards 4, 6 and 7 voting no.

Word that the question would appear on Burlington's ballot spread quickly across the nation among proponents of a new investigation, and The Burlington Free Press received a number of e-mails applauding news that voters would, for the first time, be able to weigh in on the subject.

Proponents of a new investigation have argued that the official probe, reported in the "9/11 Commission Report," was deliberately narrowed and, as a result, inadequate.

"Clearly," Estrin said, "we have to get together and strategize -- decide where we go from here."

He said that while he was surprised by the vote in Burlington, the issue is "complex. It's a very off-putting idea," he said. "Very many smart people who follow the news and don't support George Bush don't want to go there."

Let's not pretend reality does not exist.

It's...

Funny you mention that...

Dear John,

Thank you for your coverage of the ballot initiative for a new investigation. I wonder what the result would have been had people been educated about the subject. Unfortunately, I have the media (not you) to blame for that. Again, thank you.

Sincerely,

Jon Gold
