Why Fund 911truth.org?
Dear 9/11 Truth Advocates,
As 2009 arrives, 911Truth.org wishes you all the best, and extends our gratitude to each of you for your persistent courage and dedication to the truth!
For nearly five years, 911Truth.org has served as your portal to reliable information about 9/11, its precedents and consequences, as an umbrella for hundreds of local truth activism groups, as a catalyst for national campaigns and new 9/11 truth special interest groups, and so much more. We are at a very critical juncture right now, as monthly donation pledges total about $500. We need to raise $15,000 for this first quarter of 2009 if we are to continue to provide these valuable services.
Please take a moment right now to help.
As we enter a new year, with a new administration coming into office, we are excited to continue this important work with some new opportunities--though admittedly, significant challenges remaining--in front of us!
Having witnessed the international reaction to the election of Barack Obama, we believe that a new dawn in political responsibility may be approaching. We therefore encourage the 9/11 community to take an optimistic, and persistent, educational approach to the new administration, one which will speak truth to power in a new relationship based on positive expectations of honesty and good faith. The approach we envisage continues to be based on the expectation that individuals within the United States Government and its citizens, once educated about 9/11, will recognize that only strength and respect would flow from a thorough and complete accounting. Further, this would lead to correcting the enormous fallout (both domestically and internationally) from this horrendous deed that is such a stain on US history. Only when real integrity has been ensconced in our leadership--which must be held to account by the people it represents--will the US, and indeed the world, have a chance to become whole again.
Thus, we intend to work with other organizations to continue to press for this integrity. Of course, we don't yet know what specific course will finally be successful -- perhaps a special prosecutor within the U.S., perhaps it will require an international war crimes tribunal or criminal court, or maybe some other mechanism not yet considered will be necessary. So we must explore every opportunity and pursue those with merit, while drawing on the wisdom, creativity and dedication of compassionate, truth-loving people everywhere if we are to achieve these lofty goals. In 2009, we intend to do just that.
But we can't do it without your help.
We receive no foundation or grant funding, so we're supported solely by contributions from you (and online store sales), and as we've always said, we truly appreciate and value every penny--we work very hard with very little, thanks to the dedication and mostly volunteer efforts of some very fine people. And while we know that times are financially tough for many people right now, this important work must nonetheless continue. We simply can't do it without your help. We are asking you to make a contribution right now, to take your movement into 2009 with a working budget of $15,000 for the first quarter. Below you'll find a few offerings of thank you gifts for contributions made in the next two weeks.
What projects are we looking at undertaking immediately in 2009? Here are a few, and you can see why we say we're excited about opportunities:
The 9/11 Commission requested that all documentation and reports supplied to them be made available, through the National Archives, by January 9, 2009. We have learned that a significant amount of that information will, indeed, become available soon. That means we need to assemble work groups now to begin digitizing, cataloging, and reviewing the data; a significant relational database must be built to help analyze the information; writers will be needed to review and assemble the information so that we can present it to you as quickly as possible. Once we see what information has been released (and how much of it has been redacted), we'll need to file Freedom of Information Act requests for missing documentation and reports. And we'll need to coordinate campaigns to push for the release of whatever information may be withheld. This project will be a huge undertaking, and we intend to work closely with other 9/11 truth organizations, as well as other groups that have been previously involved in information processing projects like this, working collaboratively to draw on existing strengths and skills in order to accomplish this momentous task. |
President-elect Obama ran for office on a promise of hope and change… We intend to hold him to this promise, to urgently negotiate a change from the unprecedented secrecy implemented by the Bush Administration to much greater transparency. With the "hope" of "changing" our situation by overturning 9/11-based draconian measures such as the Military Commissions Act, Patriot Acts, Executive Orders and Security Directives, Continuity of Government measures, and the massive redirection of our money away from desperately needed domestic programs to military, police-state and mercenary funding, we believe we can help to restore our Bill of Rights, immediately end torture and secret rendition, end the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, and begin to right our nation's future path. We are working now to prepare proposals asking for significant changes that will lead to truth-telling, accountability, provision for the thousands of 9/11 first responders now in such desperate need, and more. Clearly, we will need to work closely with other organizations to effect these changes, and will continue to make that a high priority. |
Nearly 200 grassroots organizers in as many cities (and nearly 40 countries) have now affiliated with us, and 911Truth.org will continue to provide networking, communication tools, support and encouragement to these courageous individuals and their groups. We have been asked to provide regional "Activists' Tools" workshops, providing opportunities to learn about specific skills such as media communication techniques, group building, audio-video production and dissemination, dealing with group-dynamics issues, research/writing, etc. We would like to make this the year we are finally able to provide these workshops. |
The 911truth.org website now contains over 1,500 articles, an international calendar, a resource center, A/V files, downloadable resources, links, and much more. Vetting and adding material, and maintaining, enhancing and securing the website requires significant effort and time, and we need your help to keep this unique and valuable resource at the ready for the international 9/11 community. |
We need your help to make these projects happen! Please make a donation now, by credit card or mail, or sign up for a monthly donation from $3 to $50, at our Donate page. We have accomplished much in these five years, yet much remains to finish the work of bringing complete and open recognition to this issue, and now is certainly not the time to have to end our efforts. We ask you to help us, as generously as possible, to continue that work. Thank you!
We are able to offer you some excellent premiums as thank-you gifts when you send a gift between now and January 15th. Simply click the Donate Any Amount banner and then "tell us which premium you want" at the Paypal donation page. (Of course, all these materials and many other books, DVDs, stickers, and infocards are available at the 911TruthStore.com for you to purchase directly if you prefer.)
And with every contribution, our very sincere thanks!
With our best wishes for a healthy, courageous, active new year filled with real change, and our genuine thanks for your work,
Janice Matthews,
Director

Question
Just wondering, what FOIAs has 9/11 Truth already done, and do you have a link to the results of those?
This is the first I've heard of this effort.
None...
That I know of. I could be wrong. The effort to collect the records from the National Archives has been discussed a lot recently.
Do these people deserve to know how and why their loved ones were murdered? Do we deserve to know how and why 9/11 happened?
One of the reasons...
I continue to support 911truth.org (aside from the sentimental aspect of it) is because whenever they have "represented" the 9/11 Truth Movement, they have done a FANTASTIC job. They have been the main portal for 9/11 Truth for years. When you go to google, and type in "9/11 Truth", 911truth.org is the first site to come up. So, it's the site the media contacts the most. When they have, and a representative of 911truth.org was given an opportunity, they did extremely well. Mike Berger, David Kubiak, Janice Matthews, Nick Levis, and so on. That is invaluable to me as far as this cause is concerned.
Do these people deserve to know how and why their loved ones were murdered? Do we deserve to know how and why 9/11 happened?
Workshops -
A cost effective way to do workshops is to make a video of each workshop and post them at the site, each one linked to a forum for ongoing discussion and Q & A. Additional downloadable materials can also supplement each workshop.
$5,000 a month is a fair chunk of change, I hope that there will be as much transparency as possible in the use of funds as this will encourage people to donate.
Almost all the groups are self-funded and each one must determine how much they can donate up the activist food chain.
Perhaps it's time to think about doing a series of concerts/events to benefit 911truth.org, ae911truth.org, stj911truth.org and other critical groups within the greater truth movement. I think a program featuring Willie Nelson, Jesse Ventura, Rosie O'Donnell, Ed Asner, Charlie and Martin Sheen, Daniel Sunjata, Remo Conscious and others could be quite successful. Perhaps we could even get William Rodriguez to do some of his old magic act.
How about a live streaming webathon?
I think we should also think about doing a new national poll with a more comprehensive group of questions to acquire some hard numbers. That might be an incentive for many to donate.
The truth shall set us free. Love is the only way forward.
All Great Ideas LeftWright!
"How about a live streaming webathon?"
The Willie Nelson/Alex Jones Concert was certainly a letdown.

Other ways to help
You can also help 911truth.org everyday at www.goodsearch.com. 911truth.org receives money for every legitimate search. I try to do a couple everyday. In addition, you'll see many vendors on the goodsearch page such as Wal-Mart, PetMeds, etc... If you buy online from any of these vendors, do so from here and they'll also receive a percentage of your purchase.
Peace All

Every search about 911 truth
Every search about 911 truth or every search? I just searched 911 truth but I'd like to know if that is enough or is it every search should be done from this link? How does 911truth.org get credit? Thanks
911 Truth Ends 911 Wars
hm...
I'll support 911truth.org again when they stop selling books by a holocaust denier.
Bush's GOD is Gold, Oil, and Drugs.

Which...
Holocaust denier would that be?
