BUILDING WHAT?! Day 5

Fellow Advocates:

Thank you to everyone who helped make Building What?! Day 4 an amazing success.

12 down. 39 to go.

We’ve decided to continue sending email blasts. To make it possible, we kindly ask you to donate to help cover the extra $250 it will cost to send 12 more email blasts, AND, your donation will go toward a new NYC pubic opinion poll. Please donate a manageable amount of $25 - or more if you can manage. The poll will allow us to show the City Council that a majority of New Yorkers support a new investigation, and that a vast majority who've seen footage of Building 7 collapse do not believe office fires were the cause. Showing the Council that its constituents would support a new investigation is an essential part of this campaign. We have raised $1100 of the $4850 needed for the poll. If you have $25 to spare, this is an opportunity to send a powerful message to the City Council at a critical moment when they will be listening – please don't pass it up. Go to NYCCAN.org right now and help us by donating what you can.

An important update to the instructions from yesterday: tell aides to go to NYCCAN.org, rather than YouTube, to watch “A Message From Bob McIlvaine”.

Another important suggestion: if an aide tells you the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 is a federal matter, politely let them know it’s a local matter for three very simple reasons:

1) It was located in New York City.
2) It was not federally owned.
3) It housed a New York City agency.

As always, there are two simple rules for participating in this campaign:

1) Talk only about World Trade Center Building 7

2) Be courteous and respectful

NYC CAN will inform the council members’ offices that anyone who is disrespectful, or who mentions other aspects of 9/11, is trying to sabotage the legitimate call for a proper investigation into the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. And to ensure that opponents of truth do not undermine our effort, we will need each and every one of you to get involved and drown out their vitriolic voice with courtesy, clarity and honesty.

The Script

We have three points to make:

1) A third building called World Trade Center Building 7 also collapsed on September 11th. This building housed the Office of Emergency Management’s Emergency Operations Center.

2) The federal government issued a report saying that office fires caused this building to collapse, however, there is overwhelming physical and testimonial evidence that this building was brought down with the use of explosives.

3) In response, 1,100 architects and engineers have signed a petition calling for a new investigation because the federal government’s report is deeply flawed and unscientific.

Translated to a phone call:

• Hello, my name is _________. I would like to leave a message for Council Member ______ to ask that he/she take measures to investigate the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7. Who should I speak with?

You will either be transferred to someone else, or the receptionist will say, “you can speak with me”, or the receptionist will say, “Thank you, we will let the council member know”. If you are given time to elaborate on your message, you say:

• I would like to inform the council member that:

i. A third building called World Trade Center Building 7 also collapsed on September 11th. This building housed the Office of Emergency Management’s Emergency Operations Center.

ii. The federal government issued a report saying that office fires caused this building to collapse, however, there is overwhelming physical and testimonial evidence that this building was brought down with the use of explosives.

iii. In response, 1,100 architects and engineers have signed a petition calling for a new investigation because the federal government’s report is deeply flawed and unscientific.
• Be sure to thank the person you are speaking with.

Dear Council Member ___________,

I am writing to ask that you take measures to open an investigation into the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7.

World Trade Center Building 7 was the third building to collapse on September 11th when it came down at 5:20 in the afternoon. This building housed the Office of Emergency Management’s Emergency Operations Center.

An agency of the federal government called the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) issued a report in 2008 saying that office fires caused this building to collapse, however, there is overwhelming physical and testimonial evidence that this building was brought down with the use of explosives.

In response, 1,100 architects and engineers have signed a petition calling for a new investigation because the federal government’s report is deeply flawed and unscientific. To learn more, please go to the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth website, AE911Truth.org.

You can watch footage of World Trade Center Building 7 collapse by googling "WTC 7".

Thank you very much for looking into this important matter.

Sincerely yours,

Think about information saturation

Doing this for another 39 days might backfire on you if they start to get irritated by the messages. Having said that I don't know how it works. Do the councillors have a rotation system?

12 down means 12 council members down

Each council member is only being contacted on one day and for the most part their staff have been very polite and receptive. It seems to be getting their attention without alienating them. It's three council members per day over 17 business days to eventually hit all 51.
