URGENT ACTION!! 911 MASS PHONE, FAX, EMAIL CAMPAIGN
I received this E-mail from septembereleventh.org. They're asking for help on this. They want their 23 questions answered by Bush, IN PUBLIC TESTIMONY. Please phone, fax &/or E-mail the 6 politicians listed in this E-mail, time is of the essence.

URGENT ACTION!! 911 MASS PHONE, FAX, EMAIL CAMPAIGN -
Please FWD!!

A) Please send this email to your contact lists, and
urge them to forward this email, using contact numbers
listed below and also at tomflocco.com,
septembereleventh.org and other 911 sites--and
beginning ON MONDAY--contact Hastert, Pelosi, Frist,
Daschle, Kean, and Kerry--the six individuals with
power, control and microphone to influence public 911
testimony under oath by high government officials like
Bush, Cheney, Rice, Rumsfeld, Myers, etc. We believe
citizen pressure will win out regarding public testimony by
Mr. Bush, since President Clinton has been interrogated
publicly and under oath by career prosecutors.

B) The next 7-10 days will likely determine the
outcome of the public testimony issue. Those wishing to
support this effort, please contact Bill Douglas
(wtcqd2000@aol.com) to let him know approximate times
and days of contact so he can make a spread-sheet
regarding hours of the day between 9:00 am and 6:00 pm
Monday through Friday to maximize impact of the
contacts. Please contact me at TomFlocco@cs.com for
feedback regarding all important statements from staff
members receiving your calls, etc. We are particularly
interested in finding out whether they are receiving
contacts, how many, how busy it has been, etc....ask
questions like "Did you receive my fax (or email)
yet?"......"Does the Speaker/Leader understand this
issue?......Has anyone else contacted him about this
issue?....i.e. We want to find out what effect we are
having.

(PHONE-FAX-EMAIL CONTACTS ARE LISTED AT BOTTOM)

*****************************************************************
THE MASS EMAIL/PHONE/FAX MESSAGE TO SEND TO THE 6
CONTACTS:
*****************************************************************
We request to know why President Bush is allowed to
dictate to the 9-11 Commission whether he will testify,
how long he will testify, to whom he will testify, and
why he refuses to testify under oath. THIS IS
UNACCEPTABLE, AMERICANS WILL NEVER ACCEPT THIS
COMMISSION'S FINDING UNDER THESE CIRCUMSTANCES. WHY ARE
THE U.S. MEDIA/CONGRESS/THE 9-11 COMMISSION NOT PROBING
MORE ON BUSH'S ONGOING OBSTRUCTION OF THE 9-11
INVESTIGATIONS?

QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED FROM THE 9-11 FAMILY STEERING
COMMITTEE
Before an audience of the American people, the
Commission must ask President Bush in sworn testimony,
the following questions:

1. As Commander-in-Chief on the morning of 9/11, why
didn’t you return immediately to Washington, D.C. or
the National Military Command Center once you became
aware that America was under attack? At specifically
what time did you become aware that America was under
attack? Who informed you of this fact?

2. On the morning of 9/11, who was in charge of our
country while you were away from the National Military
Command Center? Were you informed or consulted about
all decisions made in your absence?

3. What defensive action did you personally order to
protect our nation during the crisis on September
11th? What time were these orders given, and to whom?
What orders were carried out? What was the result of
such orders? Were any such orders not carried out?

4. In your opinion, why was our nation so utterly
unprepared for an attack on our own soil?

5. U.S. Navy Captain Deborah Loewer, the Director of
the White House Situation Room, informed you of the
first airliner hitting Tower One of the World Trade
Center before you entered the Emma E. Booker
Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida. Please explain
the reason why you decided to continue with the
scheduled classroom visit, fifteen minutes after
learning the first hijacked airliner had hit the World
Trade Center.

6. Is it normal procedure for the Director of the White
House Situation Room to travel with you? If so, please
cite any prior examples of when this occurred. If not
normal procedure, please explain the circumstances
that led to the Director of the White House Situation
Room being asked to accompany you to Florida during the
week of September 11th.

7. What plan of action caused you to remain seated
after Andrew Card informed you that a second airliner
had hit the second tower of the World Trade Center and
America was clearly under attack? Approximately how
long did you remain in the classroom after Card’s
message?

8. At what time were you made aware that other planes
were hijacked in addition to Flight 11 and Flight 175?
Who notified you? What was your course of action as
Commander-in-Chief of the United States?

9. Beginning with the transition period between the
Clinton administration and your own, and ending on
9/11/01, specifically what information (either verbal
or written) about terrorists, possible attacks and
targets, did you receive from any source?

This would include briefings or communications from:
a. Out-going Clinton officials
b. CIA, FBI, NSA, DoD and other intelligence agencies
c. Foreign intelligence, governments, dignitaries or
envoys
d. National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice
e. Richard Clarke, former counterterrorism czar

10. Specifically, what did you learn from the August
6, 2001, PDB about the terrorist threat that was
facing our nation? Did you request any follow-up action
to take place? Did you request any further report be
developed and/or prepared?

11. As Commander-in-Chief, from May 1, 2001 until
September 11, 2001, did you receive any information
from any intelligence agency official or agent that UBL
was planning to attack this nation on its
own soil using airplanes as weapons, targeting New York
City landmarks during the week of September 11, 2001 or
on the actual day of September 11, 2001?

12. What defensive measures did you take in response to
pre-9/11 warnings from eleven nations about a terrorist
attack, many of which cited an attack in the
continental United States? Did you prepare any
directives in response to these actions? If so, with
what results?

13. As Commander-in-Chief from May 1, 2001 until
September 11, 2001, did you or any agent of the United
States government carry out any negotiations or talks
with UBL, an agent of UBL, or al-Qaeda? During that
same period, did you or any agent of the United States
government carry out any negotiations or talks with any
foreign government, its agents, or officials regarding
UBL? If so, what resulted?

14. Your schedule for September 11, 2001 was in the
public domain since September 7, 2001. The Emma E.
Booker School is only five miles from the Bradenton
Airport, so you, and therefore the children in the
classroom, might have been a target for the terrorists
on 9/11. What was the intention of the Secret Service
in allowing you to remain in the Emma E. Booker
Elementary School, even though they were aware America
was under attack?

15. Please explain why you remained at the Sarasota,
Florida, Elementary School for a press conference
after you had finished listening to the children read,
when as a terrorist target, your presence potentially
jeopardized the lives of the children?

16. What was the purpose of the several stops of Air
Force One on September 11th? Was Air Force One at any
time during the day of September 11th a target of the
terrorists? Was Air Force One’s code ever breached on
September 11th?

17. Was there a reason for Air Force One lifting off
without a military escort, even after ample time had
elapsed to allow military jets to arrive?

18. What prompted your refusal to release the
information regarding foreign sponsorship of the
terrorists, as illustrated in the inaccessible 28
redacted pages in the Joint Intelligence Committee
Inquiry Report? What actions have you personally taken
since 9/11 to thwart foreign sponsorship of terrorism?

19. Who approved the flight of the bin Laden family
out of the United States when all commercial flights
were grounded, when there was time for only minimal
questioning by the FBI, and especially, when two of
those same individuals had links to WAMY, a charity
suspected of funding terrorism? Why were bin Laden
family members granted that special privilege--a
privilege not available to American families whose
loved ones were killed on 9/11?

20. Please explain why no one in any level of our
government has yet been held accountable for the
countless failures leading up to and on 9/11?

21. Please comment on the fact that UBL’s profile on
the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives poster does not
include the 9/11 attacks. To your knowledge, when was
the last time any agent of our government had contact
with UBL? If prior to 9/11, specifically what was the
date of that contact and what was the context of said
meeting.

22. Do you continue to maintain that Saddam Hussein was
linked to al Qaeda? What proof do you have of any
connection between al-Qaeda and the Hussein regime?

23. Which individuals, governments, agencies,
institutions, or groups may have benefited from the
attacks of 9/11? Please state specifically how you
think they have benefited.

Commission

2. Yes.
I believe they picked those 6 specifically. Leaders of both parties in both houses, head of 9-11 investigation and Kerry as leading candidate for the Democratic nomination. They should be the first and foremost contacts, then also contact your own reps and senators if you can.

5. Printing it out and sending it
has the most impact. One letter is worth a thousand e-mails, from what I've been told by those in the know.

9. Locking
Rules to start discussion threads in the General Discussion forum.

1. If you start a thread in the General Discussion forum, you must present your opinion in a manner that is not inflammatory, which respects differences in opinion, and which is likely to lead to respectful discussion rather than flaming. Some examples of things which should generally be avoided are: unnecessarily hot rhetoric, nicknames for prominent Democrats or their supporters, broad-brush statements about groups of people, single-sentence "drive-by" thread topics, etc.

2. The subject line of a discussion thread must accurately reflect the actual content of the message.

3. The subject line of a discussion thread may not include profanity or swear words, even if words or letters are replaced by asterisks, dashes, or abbreviations.

4. The subject line and the entire text of the message which starts the thread may not include excessive capitalization, or excessive punctuation.

5. If you post an article or other published content which is from a conservative source or which expresses a traditionally conservative viewpoint, you must state your opinion about the piece and/or the issues it raises.

6. You may not start a new discussion thread in order to continue a current or recent flame war from another thread. The moderators have the authority to lock threads in order to contain flaming on a particular topic to only one thread at a time.

7. Discussion topics about the Democratic presidential primary are not permitted in the General Discussion forum, and instead must be posted in the General Discussion: 2004 Primary forum. Passing references to the Democratic primary candidates are permitted, provided that the overall topic of discussion is not directly related to the presidential primary or the primary candidates.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation,
DU moderator
