Does anyone know what happened to Kristen Breitweiser
and the plan to organize a vigil asking for answers on the Anniversary of 9/11?

There were families of victims at the RNC, but Kristen and the others have not been heard from since the 9/11 Commission report.

Anyone know anything?

Kristen always sounded like she was relentlessly asking the right questions...

1. From now until Nov. 2, I think there will be a muzzling of the media...
...unlike anything we've ever experienced in this country--and that's taking into account how bad the last 3+ years have been.

Kristen Breitweiser was quoted in an Aug. 29 article for the Times-Picayune, so she's talking. She's just not being covered.

2. 9/11 Citizens' Commission + Pre-Event Morning Press Conf. -- Sept. 9th NYC
http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/WO0409/S00066.htm

9/11 Citizens' Commission -- Sept. 9th NYC
9/11 CitizensWatch
http://www.911citizenswatch.org

MEDIA ADVISORY
9/11 Citizens' Commission + Pre-Event Morning Press Conference

What: 9/11 Citizens' Commission: "The Omission Hearings"; co-chaired by Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and former Bush Sr. official Catherine Austin Fitts, who are set to hear testimony from Ashcroft-gagged whistleblower Sibel Edmonds recently featured on 60 Minutes, Paul Thompson, author of The Terror Timeline (Harper-Collins), Michael Ruppert (author, Crossing the Rubicon, whose newsletter is read by 35 members/staffs in Congress) and 9/11 victim family members.

PRESS CONFERENCE to precede event.

Commission hearings to be followed by world premiere of 9/11 documentary by Barrie Zwicker at 8PM & 9:30PM Thursday evening.

Where: The Symphony Space, Peter Jay Sharp Theater; 2537 Broadway at 95th St.

When: Thursday, September 9, 1-7 pm <+ evening showings of documentary>

PRESS CONFERENCE TO BEGIN AT 11:30AM

Why: A new Zogby poll ( http://www.zogby.com/news) shows that 49.3% of New York City residents believe some government leaders "consciously failed" on 9/11.

Two/thirds (66%) call for a re-opening of the investigation. Given the pivotal historical significance of 9/11, the investigation must proceed to full disclosure and examination of as yet unfollowed lines of inquiry. Common citizens, scholars, and whistleblowers must take, and are taking, this into their own hands.

3. Here's an article from Aug. 30

9/11 wounds reopen as GOP visits N.Y.
Monday, August 30, 2004
By Bill Walsh
Staff writer

Doyle said he and some of the other families were furious in March when the Bush campaign aired an advertisement with footage of the World Trade Center disaster. They complained and it was quickly pulled.

Kristen Breitweiser, whose husband, Ron, was killed that day, said it is "obvious" to her that Bush is trying to score political points by evoking the memory of Sept. 11.

Yet Breitweiser said she finds it strange that Bush would pin his re-election hopes on an event she thinks is the chief failure of his administration. She said the highly critical Sept. 11 commission report should be enough to make any politician think twice about invoking the attacks.

"I don't understand how 9/11 can be a platform for his re-election," said Breitweiser, who voted for Bush in 2000. "Every day that goes by since Sept. 12 I see as a squandered opportunity by the administration in fixing problems everyone knows need to be fixed."
