9/11 CITIZENS COMMISSION PETITION CERTIFIED BY MASSACHUSSETS ATTORNEY GENERAL!
 PRESS RELEASE FOLLOWS:

Posted on Friday, September 16, 2011 - 02:07 pm:   


PLEASE EMBED OR LINK TO VIDEOS (ABOVE AND BELOW) AND REPOST WHEREVER APPROPRIATE 



Senator Mike Gravel, a native of Massachusetts, along with Massachusetts 9/11 Truth activists, launched its campaign for a 2012 ballot initiative which seeks the creation of a Citizens’ 9/11 Commission, by holding a press conference held on September 13, 2011 on the steps of the Massachusetts State House in Boston. The ballot question was submitted in August and was certified by Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley on September 7. According to the Massachusetts initiative law, supporters must collect a minimum of nearly 70,000 valid signatures from registered voters by early December of 2011. 

Gravel will be working closely with the statewide alliance to create awareness of the initiative. The Senator will personally head the funding effort, which will be a worldwide campaign. 

Senator Gravel will be supported in the state by a coalition of Massachusetts 9/11 advocacy groups and local concerned citizens led by Rich McCampbell, a Cambridge-based biotech engineer, and Rich Aucoin, former Libertarian candidate for lieutenant governor who has worked in senior positions in three previous initiative campaigns. The group’s slogan is “9/11—Never Forget.” 

If the 9-11cc petition campaign succeeds in getting its measure on the Massachusetts ballot, and if it is approved by Massachusetts voters in November of 2012, the primary work of the “Citizens’ 9/11 Investigation Commission,” once it is funded and seated, will be to engage in a fair and impartial investigation of the circumstances of the attacks of September 11, 2001. 

The Commission, supported by its staff, will call or subpoena witnesses and hold evidentiary hearings under oath. It will also be empowered to inquire into events leading up to 9/11, as well as those occurring in its aftermath, and will re-examine the findings of any previous investigations. 

The Commission established by the initiative law will consist of at least 15 members. Commissioners will be selected by the Citizens’ 9/11 Commission Campaign steering committee from a screened list of nominations submitted by the public and also from among its own internally compiled list of distinguished citizens. The newly seated commissioners will then elect an executive director who will hire staff. The final report on the Commission’s findings, due no later than January 1, 2015, can be used by a state or federal prosecutor to issue indictments if and when appropriate. 

“The previous 9/11 Commission report,” noted Aucoin, “did not hold any U.S. government officials responsible for possible negligence or for intended or unintended missteps that led to the events of 9/11. Well-established rules of evidence were never applied to the original Commission’s finding, which alleged that Osama bin Laden and a list of co-conspirators committed the crimes. The intent of our approach, by contrast, is to hold all parties to this tragedy accountable under the criminal laws of the State of Massachusetts or the laws of any other state that joins our effort.” 

Notably, other states and even cities and towns may enter into a “joint-powers' agreement with Massachusetts if the initiative law passes. The authorized powers of the new commission can be extended to any state, city or town that enters into this agreement for cooperation. "The Citizens’ 9/11 Investigation Commission created by the Massachusetts law may exercise all investigatory powers of each state that has entered into the joint powers agreement,” explained Gravel, “including but not limited to the power of subpoena in that state and the power to take testimony under oath.” 

Using several different state initiative laws to create one citizens’ commission, thereby creating a de facto national effort, is without precedent, but has already been legally accepted in principle by the offices of legislative counsel of the states of California and Oregon. “The law now submitted to Massachusetts,” said Gravel, “was in fact drafted by me in cooperation with Oregon’s State Office of Legislative Counsel. I then slightly altered it for introduction in Massachusetts. We will file the Oregon document shortly. Our intent is to keep the Oregon and Massachusetts texts—and that of any other state initiative that we file—as similar as possible.”

AN OPEN LETTER FROM SENATOR MIKE GRAVEL TO THE 911 TRUTH MOVEMENT

FROM: The 9/11 Commission Campaign (Senator Mike Gravel, Byron Belitsos, and Ken Jenkins)
TO: Leaders in the 9/11 truth movement
Request to participate in the campaign’s rollout on July 4

As you may know, a new activist organization founded and led by former Senator Mike Gravel ((D-Alaska, 1969-1981) has been exploring the feasibility of filing ballot propositions in several states (Oregon, Massachusetts, and others). WhMike Gravelen passed, this legislation would create an independent 9/11 commission that would be headquartered in the first state to pass such a law. This powerful new investigative commission would be:

  1. funded by the citizens via the state treasury (mandated by the law)
  2. free of governmental interference
  3. vested with subpoena power and the ability to take testimony under oath
  4. enhanced legally and financially by other states and localities that pass “sister” initiatives


Our official launch date of the the citizen’s 9/11 Commission Campaign is July 4. As we launch this work, we are heartened by one unassailable fact: the 9/11 truth movement has grown and prospered for nearly a decade, gaining millions of supporters through outreach and education in one of the most remarkable grassroots movements in American history.

Our campaign strategically builds upon the movement’s innumerable breakthroughs and hard-won lessons. We believe these lessons point to a new approach to our common goals based on citizen power—that is, empowerment of citizens to work for a new investigation through the ballot initiative process. As Senator Gravel likes to say: “The 9/11 movement’s successful decade of citizen education can now give way to an actionable citizen’s plan for change—a plan to pass laws that will create a new investigation!”

DIRECT DEMOCRACY FOR 9/11 TRUTH
One thing we know is this: That our movement is grassroots; that sovereign power lies with the people; and that our fellow citizens are now awakened to 9/11 truth in vast numbers. But how can we harness this 911-truth-citizen-power to demand a truly independent investigation? Well, again, we believe we have in hand a winning approach: the method of direct democracy as it is now practiced in 24 states—the state ballot initiative.

Notable in this connection is that the cause of direct democracy has been the principal passion of Senator Mike Gravel since his two terms in the Senate (1969–1981). Bringing with him that long experience and much acquired expertise, Mike has entered our movement to suggest a time-tested method—one that frees us from the legal and political machinations of status-quo forces.

OUR SPECIAL REQUEST TO YOU: ”FUNDRAISE” WITH US
We are writing to ask you and your organization to email our Call for Support—on July 4, or soon thereafter. Once you opt-in, the first step will be for you to send out to your list (literally on July 4 if possible) an introductory fundraising letter that we will supply.

ALSO, PLEASE BE A SPONSOR

Of course, if you have an organization, we’d like you to be an official Sponsor. Technically, that will cost $250. If indeed you’d like to be a sponsor, send us your logo or widget and we will post it on the home page.

INTRODUCING THE CAMPAIGNERS
Our overall effort is, as stated, chaired by Senator Mike Gravel, and headed up by executive director Byron Belitsos, one of the founders of 911truth.org. Ken Jenkins, known to many of you as a premier filmmaker in the 9/11 truth community, is our communications director.

The three of us heartily invite you to join in this mission. In the meantime, we extend our hands in collegial friendship to you, the intrepid activists whose heroic work is the basis of our campaign.

Warm regards,
Senator Mike Gravel / Byron Belitsos / Ken Jenkins
