This post is in support of Alvin R who rightly pointed out a need for focus on specific goals by the truth movement. Alvin proposed directing the movements effort towards starting a reinvestigation of 9-11. His proposal was met with a lot of criticism by other bloggers, however much of the criticism validated the feasibility of embarking on an investigation by pointing out that a lot of important evidence actually exists already. The chief problem it turns out is that much of the evidence is not being entertained by the courts or the administration in the current political climate. This leaves the alternative, a Congressional investigation as a means to uncover the truth and identify the real perpetrators. I would like to add that an important, and perhaps initial goal of the investigation should be to publicly debunk and lay to rest the official conspiracy theory as embodied by the 9-11 Commission report. To get a Congressional investigation rolling I'd like to suggest the following actions:

1. Package the idea of an investigation so it can be shown to other members of the movement.
2. Float this proposal to 911bogger and other 9-11 truth groups with a sign-up sheet, get a sort of consensus from a broad front of truthers and modify the proposal based on their inputs
3. With the proposal getting a significant number of signed up supporters, submit it to members of the truth movement who are in the best position to approach and interact with representatives in Congress.

Sample proposal
---------------------------------------------
A PROPOSAL TO THE 9-11 TRUTH MOVEMENT TO INITIATE A CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION OF THE EVENTS OF 9-11

The following list of actions is submitted for your inputs and approval in furtherance of our goal to have an open and truthful public inquiry into the events of September 11, 2001. Should you approve of the actions as outlined please make a blog response indicating so. Suggestions and corrections are welcome as well.

1. Submit a proposal to representative Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul to open a Congressional investigation of 9-11.

2. Arrange a meeting between a 9-11 truth team and the representatives to convince them of the need for the investigation as well as the best theories on what transpired and who are behind the conspiracy. The representatives must be convinced to let the best experts in the truth community to sit in the congressional investigation and provide inputs.

3. The members of the truth team will be composed of David Griffin, Webster Tarpley, William Rodriguez and Steven Jones. The truth team shall be assigned to determine if the representatives can be entrusted with spearheading the investigation and looking for alternatives should the ones they first meet seem to be less than genuine in their support of the movement.

4. The 9-11 truth team shall submit a list of issues that the investigation should pursue - evidence of an inside job; media complicity in the coverup; the release of foreign agents and suspects captured by the FBI after 9-11; misinformation and coverup by the 9-11 Comission, FEMA and other agencies ; airliner stock insider trading; WTC insurance scam, whistle blowers under court orders, etc.

5. When the investigation is in progress, the 9-11 movement members sitting in will provide updates after every session to the rest of the 9-11 community and the public at large.

6. In support of the investigation, the 9-11 truth movement will organize actions for political pressure (rallies, press releases, telephone/text message/IM/email brigades, alternative media exposure,etc). Political action will be resorted to whenever there are roadblocks imposed by other politicians who are hampering the investigation. A group convened within the movement will analyze the progress of the investigation and shall direct political actions as necessary to overcome roadblocks.

7. In further support of the investigation, the truth movement shall provide other assistance such as locating expert witnesses, research, whatever help is needed that the movement can provide.

8. A fund raising campaign will be launched to finance some of this political or media actions, I suppose the movement can solicit some funds from big name actors who have already expressed support for 9-11 truth. There is also a growing grassroots movement that may be willing to part with some funds to get a real investigation going.

9. In return for an honest effort to investigate 9-11, the movement will offer its endorsement to the representative if he runs for another elective position as well as to other representatives who show active support for the investigation.

10. There is no guarantee that the investigation will succeed in gathering info for eventually prosecuting all the perpetrators of 9-11. But at a minimum, it is expected to expose once and for all that the official government conspiracy blaming Al Quaeda as the culprits is not supported by the evidence.

11. In the course of the investigation, attempts to derail the effort by any congressmen or executive will be documented and be the basis for a negative publicity campaign by the truth movement should they ever run again for an electoral office.

Disclaimer: Participation in forming, approving or executing the proposal above does not absolve 9-11 truthers from their everyday task of grassroots education, passing out truth DVDs and any other 9-11 truth activity they were previously doing.
