General Strike September 11th - An Open Letter to the Business Community An Open Letter to the Business Community

Strike911 writes: "Dear Business Leader,

As you are probably aware, the list of grievances against the Bush Administration are considerable: An endless war on terror, hundreds of thousands dead in Iraq, torture, kidnapping, signing statements, domestic surveillance, detentions, deportations, civil rights & habeas corpus gone, stolen elections and the list goes on. For almost a decade now, we have lived under an administration that is taking us down the road to despotism.

For all these reasons, there has been a nationwide call for a general strike on the 6th anniversary of the horrendous attacks upon the World Trade Center - No work, no school, no shopping. No longer will we allow the tragedies of 911 to be used as a rallying point and symbolic justification for war. Instead, we are encouraging people to spend the day reflecting, mourning, and protesting what has happened to this nation in the wake of September 11th. We humbly ask that you consider participating by closing your doors for one day in solidarity." Read the Full Letter

A 911 general strike organizing meeting was held on September 5th.

Santa Cruz 9/11 Truth sponsored a film showing at the Rio Theatre called, "Terrorstorm: A History of Government Sponsored Terrorism." In Monterey, "9-11 and the British Broadcasting Conspiracy" was screened at the Monterey Public Library.
