EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT...

This month we are very happy to be sending you another exciting invitation!

As part of our series of calls to support the continuing development of grassroots activism, we are pleased to announce that former US Representative and current Green Party Presidential Candidate, the very courageous Cynthia McKinney will join us, Thursday evening, August 14, 9pmEastern/6pmPacific.

A panel made up of Carol Brouillet of Northern California 911Truth Alliance and CommunityCurrency.org, and candidate for US Congressional Rep, California 14th District;

Bruno Bruhwiler of WeAreChange-LA;

Jason King of Boston911Truth.org and 911Truth.org; and moderator Paul Deslauriers, Berkshire911truth.org and Grassroots Coordinator for 911Truth.org will ask questions submitted by our grassroots organizers, of interest to every American who wants to reclaim our government.

You are invited to listen in via phone (details below) or internet live at NoLiesRadio.org. After the call we'll post the audio, with a list of the questions and links to more information, as well as a full transcript as soon as possible, at 911truth.org.

Please forward this invitation to all of your contacts. (If you were forwarded this email and would like to sign up for occasional newsletters from 911truth.org, please do so here.)

If you value these kinds of supportive projects organized and offered by 911truth.org, please donate now to keep them coming. We have been unable to meet our August budget, and September's expenses will be coming up quickly. We feel this month is especially important, as we want to provide as much collaboration and networking as possible for the 9/11 anniversary (see our calendar for several listings already posted). We need your help to keep just one person on board to gather, post and disseminate this important information, in addition to putting in the hours for the regular work needed to maintain the website, collaborate with other groups, support our 200+ grassroots groups, prepare materials, manage the store, reply to emails and phone calls... We simply must have one full-time person if we are to continue. But, literally, we can not do it without your help. Please make a generous donation today, to keep us going tomorrow.

Lest we forget ... a bit of historical review:

Cynthia McKinney, former Democratic Representative from Georgia and courageous spokesperson of the People for many years -- a few of her most impressive accomplishments include:

• First Congressperson to introduce Articles of Impeachment against George Bush, in 2006 via House Res 1106

• Grilled Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on the Pentagon's missing trillions, continuing US contracts with DynCorp (previously convicted of human trafficking), and the 9/11 war games. House Hearing on FY06 Dept. of Defense Budget, March 11, 2005

• In July 2005, she held a Congressional hearing into 9/11 on Capitol Hill, afterward issuing a report entitled "9/11 Commission Report: One Year Later. A Citizens Response--Did the Commission Get it Right? 9/11 Families, Government workers, and Scholars Respond." The full 305 page report and hearing transcript are available as a pdf here

• Hosted the "9/11 Brain Trust" at Annual Black Caucus Conference in September 2005

• Chaired "The 9/11 Omission Hearings" September 9, 2004 in New York City

• Continuously opposed the war and occupation of Iraq, speaking and voting against it at every opportunity

• Continued to fight for greater government transparency with introduction of the Martin Luther King Record Collections Act and Tupac Shakur Record Collections Act

• Introduced a bill calling for "the suspension of the use, sale, development, production, testing, and export of depleted uranium munitions" in October, 2001

• Demanded hearings and accountability into the disastrous planning for and response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita (and asked why Michael Chertoff wasn't being charged with negligent homicide!)

July's Grassroots Development Call

In July 2008 911truth.org hosted a conference call with Rep. Dennis Kucinich, which was well attended and very productive. The audio and transcript of that event are available here. Thousands of people have now accessed that information, and 911truth.org is pressing his office to follow through with the commitments made that night. We'll keep you updated at the site.
