2009
It's A New Year for AE911Truth!
And We Need Your Support More Than Ever
Greetings, AE911Truth Supporters and Petition Signers:
Thank you for helping us to have a successful year of bringing 9/11 truth to Architects, Engineers and others throughout the US, Canada, and Europe! With your help we have added hundreds of A&E's to our online petition. The credibility of our technical building professionals demanding a new WTC investigation, along with the evidence mounting on the AE911Truth website, is absolutely overwhelming. In 2008 our Sustaining Members sent us on powerful speaking engagements to dozens of cities across the U.S. and Canada; and 9 major cities in 6 different countries in Europe! And you helped us to produce a powerful new and updated DVD, evidence cards, T-shirts and brochures. You sent us to the National AIA conference in Boston where we contacted several hundred architects.
And we could have accomplished even more with more support…!
Now it is 2009! And the urgency and responsibility on our shoulders are far greater. Our goals are loftier and more far-reaching. For instance, we have been approved by the American Institute of Architects to host a booth at the National AIA Conference in San Francisco in April (This is like a Super Bowl ad for us!) Our cost to reach the 24,000 architects in attendance with a professional booth display, electronics and brochures — and others via advertising — will be up to $10,000. We also have our sights on Washington, DC where we plan to present 1,000 A&E signatures to Congress on Sept. 11th — and make a big media event of it.
To accomplish our goals we need every one of our supporters and petition signers (you!) to upgrade to a monthly Sustaining Membership today!
Some Straight Talk
Last year, the response to our Sustaining Membership drive was less than hoped for. While we did double the number of Sustaining Members, the number still represents less than 4% of our 3,500 petition signers (approx. 100 people). This level of financial support does not allow us to meet our goals. If just HALF of our petition signers and other supporters upgraded to monthly Sustaining Memberships, it would make a HUGE difference in our ability to achieve a highly effective marketing presence in the professional architecture and engineering communities, and with our many other projects. At present we are only able to meet basic operating expenses at the beginning of this year and, in fact, are starting out in the red. Please join us and work with us actively to achieve the many goals set for us by you and the needs of the 9/11 Truth movement. Become a monthly Sustaining Member today!
We are so grateful for all of your continued support — financial and otherwise.

Note: Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth is a California nonprofit corporation. As such, we are no different from the Sierra Club, the Humane Society of the United States, Amnesty International, and similar organizations. They are well-established, whereas AE911Truth is just beginning and on our way. Nonprofit organizations rely almost solely on funding from their supporters. This of course means you. Your Sustaining Membership, or substantial one-time donation, is of the utmost importance to our survival and success. It really is that simple.
