Dear Friends,

Are you tired of receiving emails from MoveOn and others asking you to call your representatives, and you feel like your call will have no effect, so you don't bother?

Right now, in New York City, your call CAN have an effect.

NYC CAN is calling upon all its New York City-based supporters to call their representatives NOW. If you don't live in New York City, forward this email to your friends who do. Why? We think City Council is more likely to support the referendum if it is framed as a local issue. We need their constituents to be calling them.


Here's what's happening. By Friday, July 24, the City Clerk will issue his report on the validity of the petition and will hand it over to City Council. Councilwoman Rosie Mendez has promised to introduce a resolution to initiate the Council's review of the petition. Even if the City Clerk says the petition is not valid - whether he claims we don't have enough valid signatures or something in the language is invalid (if either or both happen we will go to court to defend its legality) - City Council has the power to put the referendum on the ballot, no matter what. Or, if the Clerk finds it to be valid, City Council can quickly agree to put it on the ballot, thereby allowing us to move from petitioning to campaigning (Yay!). But they will only do so if they perceive a flood of support.

While we are busy having sit down meetings with City Council members, we need you to call as many Council members as your time affords. Do you have 5 hours this week to call all 51 Council members? If you only have time for 5 or 10, we have a prioritized list, based on whose support is most important and who is most likely to support us. See below for Council member contact info.

We need to be able to gauge how many calls are being made. If you're making calls to City Council, email us at lobbycitycouncil@nyccan.org, and let us know how many calls you made and to whom.

Family members, first responders and survivors: you are invited to call City Council no matter where you live. City Council needs to know you overwhelmingly support this referendum.

Are you wondering what to tell them? At this point every Council member, or at least their staff, should know about the petition. So, this is what we encourage you to emphasize, because it is what will make them listen:

1) Leave your name, say how long have lived in New York, and if they represent the district you live in, make that clear. If you are a 9/11 family member, first responder or survivor, make that clear.


2) Ask to leave a message for the Council member. This is what it should consist of:

-NYC CAN has collected over 70,000 signatures for a referendum to establish an independent NYC Commission to examine the events surrounding 9/11. Please vote in favor of putting the referendum on the ballot. Why?

-66% of New Yorkers support a new investigation, according to a 2004 Zogby International poll.

-Most of the 9/11 families' questions were not answered by the 9/11 Commission, and hundreds of family members want a new inquiry.


-According to the 9/11 Commission's own Chairmen, it was "Set Up To Fail", and the Commission's Senior Counsel has described the report as "almost entirely untrue".

-Thousands of first responders and NYC residents are suffering and dying after being told the air at Ground Zero was safe to breathe, and there has been little healthcare assistance and no accountability.

-Thank them profusely for their attention to this urgent matter.

If you're still reading this email, THANK YOU. Whether you take 5 minutes or 5 hours to make the phone calls, it can make all the difference. This is our opportunity to pass a law for a new investigation. No more theorizing, no more debating, no more wishing. This is real and you can make it happen. See below for the phone numbers, and don't forget to email us a lobbycitycouncil@nyccan.org.


And, as always, we are in urgent need of funding to pay our amazing petitioners to keep collecting the signatures that will override City Council if they veto us. If you can afford to, please donate now: http://nyccan.org/donate.php


Sincerely,

Ted Walter

Dear Friends,

We now have 10,000 signatures in addition to the 52,000 we submitted last week - thanks to your support. We have made good on our promise to convert your generosity into the signatures needed to get the referendum on the ballot. We are so close to the finish line! Only 20,000 more signatures and we will have enough to safely override City Council if they veto us. But we are in urgent need of funds to get there.


Please Donate Now: http://nyccan.org/donate.php

If everyone receiving this email donates just $10, we will raise over $45,000. That's enough to not only collect the signatures, but to launch a summer PR blitz that will ensure the whole city will be watching if Mayor Bloomberg and City Council try to kill our effort.

Please Stand Together Now.


Whole industries spend billions of dollars to get the laws passed that they want. For only $10 - less than the cost of a movie ticket - you can help us pass the law for a New York City independent commission to investigate 9/11. That's a deal you can't walk away from!

Do not hesitate. Click this link:



http://nyccan.org/donate.php


And donate $10, or whatever you can.

We have never been this close, and we will probably never be this close again. This is our opportunity to stand together and make history.


Sincerely,


Ted Walter

Dear Friends,

Great News!

We got an early start in our effort to lobby City Council last Sunday when Councilman Simcha Felder enthusiastically signed the petition and promised his full support in helping us get the petition through City Council. To read more about it go to:

http://nyccan.org/councilman.php


AND, we have created a News section on the website where you can go to learn about our most recent progress. Other updates include an article on the filing of the petition,

http://nyccan.org/nyccanfilespetition.php

And, NYC CAN's Statement on the U.S. Supreme Court's June 29 decision not to hear the appeal filed by the 9/11 Families United to Bankrupt Terrorism in their civil case against Saudi Arabia and four of its princes for their alleged material support of the 9/11 attacks:

http://nyccan.org/saudidecision.php

With the Supreme Court and the Obama administration slamming the door in the face of the 9/11 families and other plaintiffs seeking accountability for the events of September 11, we must now double our efforts toward establishing a truly non-political investigation.

DONATE IF YOU CAN because we need to pay our amazing petitioners to keep collecting 4,000 signatures per week. TELL FAMILY MEMBERS, FIRST RESPONDERS and SURVIVORS to sign our Statement of Support on the homepage to amplify our call for a new investigation. TELL YOUR FRIENDS because nothing works like word of mouth.


We have also officially broken 60,000 signatures! Thank you everyone for your continued support.


Sincerely,

Ted Walter

Dear Friends!

On Wednesday, June 24, 2009, we filed the petition with 52,000 signatures!

9/11 Family Members Maureen Hunt and Manny Badillo, and First Responders Charlie Giles of the Feal Good Foundation and Bill Gleason of the World Trade Center Rescuers Foundation, arrived at the City Clerk’s office to deliver the petition and speak in behalf of all the proud and concerned citizens who deserve an unbiased, nonpolitical investigation of the tragedy that has affected us so deeply.

Thank you for getting us this far! City Council now has until August 24 to approve the placement of the referendum on the November 3 ballot. As hundreds more family members, first responders and survivors join our campaign and lobby their council members to support the petition, our chances grow.

In the unlikely event City Council does not approve the placement of the referendum on the ballot, we will be prepared to deliver an additional 30,000 signatures on August 24 to guarantee it gets on the ballot. Already we have 8,000 of the additional 30,000!

Now more than ever is the moment to stand up for what we believe in and convert to reality what we have been working towards for so long. This is how you can help:

DONATE IF YOU CAN. We need money to pay our amazing petitioners who are now collecting 4,000 to 5,000 signatures per week. We need money to pay a legal team. We need money to launch a full-scale PR campaign once the referendum is on the ballot. Go to http://NYCCAN.org/donate.php right now!

TELL FAMILY MEMBERS, FIRST RESPONDERS and SURVIVORS. We have a Statement of Support at NYCCAN.ORG that every family member, first responder, and survivor is welcome to sign. We have already accumulated over 60 signatories in the last week - THANK YOU to those of you who joined us in calling for a new, impartial investigation. Now our goal is to reach 1,000 signatories by September 11, 2009. If you know someone who was directly affected and wants accountability, send them to NYCCAN.ORG. The more New York-based family members, first responders and survivors who sign on, the more City Council will hear from the constituents it simply can’t ignore.

TELL YOUR FRIENDS. Nothing works like word of mouth. Forward this email far and wide.

While there is little room for celebration, we deserve to be proud of how far we have gotten and where we are going. Over eighteen months of hard work and selfless dedication from hundreds of individuals, and the generosity and faith shown by thousands of you across the globe, have gotten us here. And now it comes down to the next four months. Thank you for standing with us.




Sincerely,

Ted Walter

Dear Friends!

Finally, after more than a year of collecting signatures, we are ready to file the petition with the City Clerk's Office of New York City!

On Sunday, June 7, we reached a total of 47,767 signatures. By this coming Sunday, we will be well over 50,000 signatures. With that number, we should be comfortably above the 30,000 valid signatures needed for City Council to consider the referendum. As of now our planned date of submission is Wednesday, June 17!

It's becoming real, folks.


Now, for some important details if you are wondering how the process will work from here:

-City Council could okay the placement of the referendum on the ballot without NYC CAN needing to submit additional signatures.

-In the event that City Council vetoes it, or they take no action within 60 days, NYC CAN will come in with an additional 15,000 signatures to override City Council and guarantee the referendum goes on the ballot. These signatures will be collected over the next two months.


-Supposing many more than 30,000 of our first 50,000 signatures are deemed valid by the City Clerk, we are waiting to learn if we need an additional 15,000 valid signatures to override City Council, or if we only need enough to bring our total to 45,000 valid signatures (for example if 40,000 are considered valid the first time around, do we only need 5,000 more valid signatures?)

You may notice we don't have as many signatures by this point as we were anticipating. The job of a petitioner is physically strenuous and requires superb communication skills, so it has proven difficult to keep enough people on to build a staff big enough to collect 1,000 signatures per day. However, we ARE collecting 3,000 signatures per week and we are on our way to the 4,000 per week we need to successfully override City Council by the end of the summer. It just takes time. We are building a highly skilled staff who bring in only quality signatures. I want you to know that no money has been wasted - our payroll simply hasn't been as big as it could be, so we still have lots of money in the bank.

But, we need more. We have enough to get us to 60,000 signatures, but we really need another $25,000 to get us to 75,000. I know many of you have given before, so I don't want to ask you to give again unless you are truly able. The more important way you can help our fundraising effort is by talking to everyone you know and asking them to contribute. After filing the petition with the City Clerk next week, we anticipate it will become even easier to raise funds, especially from those who are able to give larger amounts. Please spread the word, it will help! If anyone wants to donate, send them to NYCCAN.org.

Lastly, we are assembling a legal team to lead the way once we have filed the petition. In the event that the City tries to block our effort by legal means, we will need the best people on our side. If you have suggestions or would like to offer your services, please contact us.

And, if you haven't yet watched our 45-second ad, go to:

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Sincerely,

Ted Walter

Dear Friends!

The purpose of this email is to provide the first of many weekly updates to come on the progress of the campaign for a new 9/11 investigation, being sponsored by the New York City Coalition for Accountability Now (NYC CAN). This is a newly compiled, centralized email list gathered from several lists of supporters who have followed this historic campaign over the past year, as well as others who have advocated for a new 9/11 investigation over the past several years. If you wish not to receive NYC CAN's weekly update, feel free to click on the unsubscribe link at the end of this message.


Today, NYC CAN released its first promotional video featuring 9/11 Family Members Jean Canavan, Bob McIlvaine and Manny Badillo. Please view it at:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzC3QI8JenU&fmt=18


It's only 50 seconds long. Please forward it to everyone you know to help us reach 1oo,ooo hits in the next week.

On Thursday, May 28, we will break 45,000 signatures! With our team of 30+ petitioners collecting 1,000 signatures each day, we are now on the fast track to reaching 75,000 by the July 3 deadline and shattering the requirement of 45,000 needed to ensure its placement on the ballot!

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Sincerely,

Ted Walter
