Ok, so I'm not quite sure how this thing works, but I was told write a blog on here and I will find people from Ohio. I guess I will start by telling my story...

About 3 days before the WTC attacks, I received an email from one of my net friends. A group of 5 of them had made a plan to road trip to NYC, visit relatives, see the sights, etc. One of those relatives included an uncle who worked in tower 2 (I'm not 100% on that, but i know it was one of the two later hit). He promised to send me pictures of his journey, even send me one of those cheesy Lady Liberty statues.

I was still in high school on 9/11. I, like most of the people in the country, was absolutely devastated. Once home, I checked my email to find that my 5 friends had gone to visit the uncle at work. I got this sickening feeling in my stomach and I just knew...I just knew they were gone. It was so weird to read a happy email about a wonderful vacation, feeling the way I felt. Now, I know that they were only net friends, but I was close to them. It hurts to lose anyone you've grown accustomed to, no matter the distance.

Over the next few weeks, I started to get angry over the whole thing. I'm not a fan of racism or any kind of hatred, and all of the sudden it was pouring out of America's veins. All Muslims were labeled terrorists. I just didn't think it was right.

I remember someone had sent me a link to a Pentagon video about 2 months after the attacks, claiming a missile hit it. It left a mark on me, but, I admit, for the most part I thought it was typical conspiracy theorist talk.

Over the years following, I became a huge activist against the Iraq war, Patriot Act, Military Commissions Act and various other shameful acts of our government. The more information I got on those acts, the more I got over-lapping information on 9/11 that was just too suspicious to ignore. One or two coincidences can be brushed off, but not a pageful.

I don't believe one specific theory, I just know something is not right. The lack of response to the planes, the stock options, the removal of debris before it could be analyzed...it all seems to point to something sinister and I want answers. My friends deserve it, the American people deserve it.
