Iraq war veteran and experienced demolitions expert blows the cover on 9/11 inside job


National Writer's Syndicate July 31, 2007
Gibbwake

Meet Torin Wolf. He has a broad and varied background as a US Army Combat Nurse during Operation Iraqi Freedom,....

...building construction contractor, certified structural welder, certified asbestos and hazardous materials worker, experienced demolitions expert, teacher, radio show host, and well studied 9/11 truth activist. Torin knows how to put a building up, and bring the same building down in its own footprint. Torin's free presentation, “Taking the Red Pill” was hosted by Brave New Books on 1904 Guadalupe in Austin last Saturday, June 23rd at 7 pm.

Torin is proud of his native Cherokee heritage and his mother is the Band Historian of the White River Band Cherokee from the central United States. Since he received his GED at age 14, saying he is a smart guy is putting it lightly. For over 12 years he worked as a hazardous materials contractor specializing in asbestos abatement and concrete construction sampling. Add to his resume the fact that he designed and implemented well over 100 controlled demolitions. He was not just helping at a lower level in the demolitions - he was the guy responsible for calling the shots. Afterwards, he became a certified structural steel welder and worked in heavy and mega construction for over 5 years in locations around the world including several skyscrapers.

Ironically, Torin signed his papers to join the army on September 11th, 2000. He knew something was wrong with the official 9/11 story when his army handlers took his squad into a room just in time to watch the buildings collapse. With his demolitions experience, he immediately knew those towers could not have fallen like that without explosives. He went on to serve “with honor and distinction” with the 21st Combat Support Hospital in Mosul, Iraq during the first part of Operation Iraqi Freedom and earned the Bronze Star with V device for valor in combat.

While saving over 120 lives, Torin earned the Combat Medical Badge by providing medical care to US, allied, enemy soldiers, and civilians under combat conditions. Torin's arms display Samoan life saving tattoos, each line and symbol representing a group of lives saved. The army would like you to think he wasn't in Iraq, but unfortunately for them, Torin appears in a recent documentary filmed there. A true hero helping save lives in the middle east, Torin can be seen in section 4 of a PBS documentary called “Life and Death in the War Zone.”

With Torins impressive list of qualifications, his unwavering voice holds a power that shatters the lies of 9/11 sold to us by the government and mainstream media, “The official story we've been told about 9/11 is absolutely, physically impossible.”

Those words are not just backed up with his qualifications because his presentation goes through the hard physics as well. The presentation starts out with a serious warning that reminds us the state our country is in after the false flag attack and ensuing tyrannical hijacking of the government on that September morning. A hijacking not by Bin Laden, not by Al Qeada, but by a group of tyrants that orchestrated and benefited from 9/11. “Unless you want to be charged as a terrorist, I suggest you leave the room now. This is technically seditious material and you can be charged under section 802 of the Patriot Act just for being here.”


This upsets a few people near the front row. Everyone looks around to see if that will scare anyone off but luckily no one leaves and the presentation continues. The bookstore is now filled with former American citizens, now terrorists, simply because they want to learn the truth of what happened on 9/11. If you think the patriot act only applies to foreigners or dehumanized muslims with brown skin, you are very wrong. Torin rubs the effect in even more, “We [American citizens] don't even have to be charged – foreigners do.” Then tells us that the patriot act was written prior to 9/11, “This is admitted.” Also admitted is the fact that the patriot act has been used to come after American citizens over eight hundred times.


The presentation moves on and goes through some of the just plain crazy theories of why the towers fell, such as space beams, holograms, missiles, orbs, pterodactyls , etc., and easily debunks them. Torin then adds, “There is evidence most of these are put out by the government as disinfo.” Then explains how the White House, in violation of the law, has bought 28 billion, “Billion with a B ” in fake news .

“But the craziest, most truly unhinged conspiracy theory for the towers falling on 9/11?” Torin asks rhetorically. “ Fire. ” The official story cannot be recreated by any experiment. NIST is the government agency involved in attempting to model what happened to the world trade center on 9/11, and they fail horribly. NIST never models what happens after the collapse initiation, and even what they do model before that is easily debunked. NIST created 16 separate physics programs to simulate the WTC 1 & 2 collapses and only got 1 to collapse partially. Torin adds, “When they did, [in the computer model] they removed 40% of the structural support.” The cross trusses that the towers received a significant amount of their strength from had to be removed to have a collapse in the computer simulation. Torin then mocks the official story, “There's no such thing as a 'pancake' collapse, but there is a progressive collapse”

A few slides are shown of progressive collapses throughout the world. None of them are anything like what happened to the world trade center with its pulverized concrete 100 microns or smaller just seconds after the start of collapse, and then its complete destruction. Torin uses his expertise to explain to the audience how and why a real progressive collapse occurs and subsequently why the WTC was not a progressive collapse. “The biggest problem with the argument,” Torin explains. “Time.”


Several slides are then presented that show the hard physics and observed time of WTC 2 falling. Worst-case scenario would require 0.5 seconds per floor for collapse. “The absolute minimum amount of time for a progressive collapse would be 43 seconds.” How long did it take for the building to fall in reality? About 8.6 Seconds.


“For the towers to fall at so close to free fall speed, over 110,000 separate and independent structural support points had to fail simultaneously. 'Pancake theory' does NOT explain the failure of the cores.” Torin explains passionately, obviously upset with the lies being told to the American people. "Nothing is holding the building up - No resistance. 110,000 structural failures at the same time."


Torin: "Nothing is holding the building up - No resistance. 110,000 structural failures at the same time."

Next, we are shown an incredible bit of detective work on Torins part. He shows a sequence of 12 different pictures of the collapse initiation of the North tower , WTC 1. Torin explains that the antenna on the top of the world trade center is a perfect guide of measurement for height, as there is a standard of changing the paint color of antennas once per fifty feet. The part of the antenna on the roof of WTC 1 appears black, then white alternated every fifty feet. There is a guide wire in the bottom left of every picture that shows that the camera does not move. Why is this picture so interesting? It shows the antenna, which is held up by the core columns, fall before the rest of the building while the fire line on the 78th floor doesn't move. Torin then goes through the hard physics of the scene we're looking at and explains how it directly contradicts the official story, “This building is not collapsing on the 78th floor. The antenna falls 56 feet before the 78th floor falls.”

Torin then gives his expert analysis on building 7 for about five minutes. For those that are new to this information, building 7 was the third building to collapse on 9/11. After a thirty second countdown was given by firefighters, it collapsed perfectly into its own footprint at 5:20 in the afternoon. It housed the IRS, Department of Defense, CIA, Secret Service, and the Security and Exchange Commission among many others. While I can't cover all of the hard hitting information Torin brought up about building 7, the highlight was his analysis of the collapse, which played over and over again on the screen behind him, “There is no doubt about it, this is a controlled demolition profile” then Torin directed everyone to view the kink , which is characteristic of a controlled demolition.

Dangerously high levels of asbestos, lead, PCB's, mercury, radioactive materials, and powdered concrete were in the air after the towers were demolished. Much to the surprise of many audience members, we learned from Torin that by far the most dangerous on the list was the pulverized concrete. The pulverized concrete, which was thick in the air around ground zero after the collapses of WTC 1 and 2, had a pH of 12 which is “about the same as drain cleaner.” This pH level, when breathed in and gets wet in your lungs, will cause chemical burns. “Wet concrete can burn you,” Torin adds. The asbestos is bad, but that will kill you over 20 years - the powdered concrete will kill much faster. So its no surprise to learn that all of the 9/11 rescue and recovery dogs are dead.

Torins report goes on to explain how “emissions from the WTC piles were recorded to be hundreds of times above the legal Permissible Exposure Limit as established by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health for more than 2 weeks after 9/11.” Sheer contempt of Christine Todd Whitman, head of the EPA is expressed next by Torin. Torin is rightly angry at her for saying the air was safe to breathe and that people should return to work, even though they refused to release the data from their testing at that time to substantiate their declaration. Torin uncovers that, “The EPA didn't begin monitoring for airborne asbestos levels until 8:00pm September 14, 2001 – a day and a half after they told everyone that it was safe to return.” Torin then cites the exact law that the EPA is violating and the number of regulatory duties that are violated as well. Torin has caught the EPA in direct violation of a federal law, punishable by up to 10 years in prison as well as a $250,000 fine for each violation. Before the EPA did the tests, independent tests were done in which the machines that do the air quality testing “were so full of junk that they couldn't be read.” If that is the case, Torin adds, “You must, by law, throw the sample out.”


What was in the readable air samples? “Sampling of bulk materials and dust found generally low levels of asbestos.” Since Torin has worked with hazardous materials for over 12 years specializing in asbestos abatement, he knows quite a bit about the industry. “There is no such thing as a 'low level of asbestos'. Bulk samples, by Federal law, either are (>1%) or are not (<1%) asbestos containing materials.” Bottom line, the EPA failed to perform its duties in regards to 9/11 and actively encouraged people to enter an unsafe area containing hazardous materials. As anyone working in the asbestos industry, Torin wanted to land the contract to clean the asbestos in the World Trade Center, “We all wanted the contract – you could clean a small section, sell the contract, and retire.” It was known in the industry as basically a goldmine of an asbestos abatement job, a contract worth over 3 billion dollars. Instead, the owner of the World Trade Center complex, “Lucky” Larry Silverstein actually made billions through insurance purchased before the towers destruction.


A critical slide in the presentation of Rudolph Giuliani is displayed next. It should be noted that Giuliani agreed with Christine Todd Whitman that the air at ground zero was safe.   Giuliani was appointed U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York in 1983. “So he knew a thing or two about criminal investigation procedures,” Torin adds. Knowing that, one has to wonder why he “sent more than 99% of the steel from the WTC to China and Korea in violation of proper chain of evidence.” Not only that, it was sent overseas at a price undercutting a New Jersey company. A company in New Jersey offered to pay $0.56 per ton, but it was sent out of the country to be smelted before experts could analyze the steel for signs of explosives for $0.50 per ton. Giuliani is clearly one of the perpetrators behind the crimes of 9/11, and he was confronted recently by a truth squad led by Luke Rudkowski. They wanted to know why his story has changed five times about his activities on the morning of 9/11.


So what does Torin think took down the WTC buildings? Different forms of thermite, such as thermate and one called super thermite. “If I was demolishing a building as high as the WTC, I would use thermite. It does what I want, when I want.” Torin then gets into the science of thermite, and what its actual chemical composition is. The same chemical composition found in the previously molten metal microspheres found in the WTC dust, discovered by professor Steven Jones . “The WTC 'microsphere' samples showed the presence of aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), potassium (K), copper (Cu), and sulphur (S).” Torins explanation continues, “The presence of sulphur in steel makes it brittle and lowers its melting point. Sulphur is NOT used in structural steel because of this. Powdered iron oxide (Fe2O4) and aluminum in equal parts make a compound called thermite. Add sulphur to thermite and you have a compound called thermate which is used in heavy demolition.”


Torin then explains super thermite, “Add potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and cupric sulphide (CuSO4) to thermate and you have something called 'Super Thermite' which is explosive and used in mega-demolition, such as WTC 1 & 2.” For obviously criminal reasons, “NIST refuses to comment on the presence of Al, Mg, S, K, or Cu in the samples.” Torin finalizes the evidence of explosives with statements made from numerous firefighters and reporters at ground zero such as Capt. Karin DeShore of the New York Fire Department , “Somewhere around the middle of the World Trade Center [WTC 1] there was this orange and red flash. Initially it was just one, then this flash just kept popping all the way around the building and that building had started to explode… These popping sounds and the explosions were getting bigger going both up and down and then all around the building.” Torin explains, “That is a controlled demolition profile she is describing.”


Torin: "Save it why? Because its a demolition angle"

So who isn't wanted for the crimes of 9/11? Gasps were heard from the audience as information relating to former paid CIA operative Tim Osman having no involvement in the crimes of 9/11. Tim Osman was Osama Bin Ladens CIA codename. New evidence has been released in the past month showing how the federal government allowed planes personally chartered by none other than Osama himself to get friends and family out of the country after 9/11. A quote from Osamas FBI page shows that he is in fact, not wanted for involvement in the crimes of that day. Torin shows a quote from the FBI director at the time, Robert Mueller, saying that there is “no legal proof to prove the identities of the suicidal hijackers." Well sourced evidence is then shown from multiple mainstream news articles proving that many of the hijackers are still alive. The official story does not add up.


The strongest part of Torins presentation is saved for the end, the aftermath of 9/11. A bleak picture is shown of the results of the false flag attack. An invasion of Afghanistan that was on Bush's desk two days before 9/11 , over 655,000 admitted dead in the spreading war in the middle east, cheap heroin out of Afghanistan that the former Taliban government destroyed, soon to be full scale war in Iran, several thousand dead troops, and an oppressive police state at home being enforced by some of the returning aggravated felons that were doing the same in Iraq. “We are not deprogrammed after battle,” Torin explains when covering the mental aspects of war.


Torins insight as a combat nurse reveals that the actual amount of dead troops numbers around 15,000-17,000, not the 3,500 we have been told. “If you get shot in combat – Bam! Clock goes off. If you die in transit [to a hospital out of Iraq such as Ramstein in Germany] you are not an official Iraq casualty.” The same holds true if the troops out of the country die 24 hours after they were hit in Iraq. The official troop death number is just those that have died in action on the ground.


We are then shown that legally, “terrorist” is a term that can be branded on virtually anyone. “If you have ever thought of spanking your child, running a red light, or made someone angry then, by this definition, you are a terrorist!” And if you are charged as a terrorist, you will be tried in a military court. With the power slanted against you in a military court, the Hamdi v. Rumsfeld case showed us that you do not even have to be released if found not guilty. This is a lot to swallow when you realize that “such persons are subject to indefinite imprisonment without charges, legal representation, or any of the other protections guaranteed by the Constitution,” Torins slide explains. Then the definition of domestic terrorism is shown, and we all learn that by this definition, not wearing your seatbelt, jaywalking, speeding, or spitting on the sidewalk is a terrorist act.


Fliers are shown next that originated out of the Department of Homeland Security and the Phoenix, Arizona FBI office. These are shown to policing agencies around the country. Torin explains how nearly all of the groups encompass normal citizens who have done no wrong such as Torins favorite, “Lone Individuals - If you don't fit in any group, this is it.”


After a brief question and answer, Torin ends the presentation with a fitting quote from Thomas Jefferson, “Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.” A true patriot and truth activist, Torin is dissenting to expose the lies and crimes of our government in order to get it back from the tyrannical, criminal group sitting in power now and to return to the Constitution and Bill of Rights. If you want to join Torin in this fight or ask him a question, he can be heard every Saturday and Sunday on the We The People Radio Network from 12 to 2 pm central. After his radio show, you can join him in person with an Austin 9/11 truth squad, getting the word out on the south steps of the state capital on Congress avenue every Saturday. This article is only just a few highlights of Torins presentation, so don't miss the one next month at Brave New Books .

UPDATE FROM JIM GUEST, REAL ID ACT OPPONENT

Missouri House of Representatives
Representative Jim Guest
Representative 
Jim Guest
        

By

Representative Jim Guest

July 30, 2006



Most of us in Northwest Missouri know Kyle Carroll, our resident conservation agent. Since last May I have been working on correcting a problem dealing with Kyle and his job with the Missouri Conservation Department (MDC). 
When I approached Kyle with a possible problem it was after others in the community had mentioned it to me. Kyle was honest to where he felt the problem was coming from but he asked me to wait until he had a chance to go through proper channels to get a solution.

Following the MDC announcement of a one week suspension from work without pay I had a meeting with MDC human resource personnel to see if I could find out both sides of the issue but only found more questions. Kyle is a fine officer and the list of infractions MDC offered for his possible dismissal were mostly minor clerical errors.  Those in attendance were unresponsive to any mediation, and declined to answer any questions claiming personal privacy. 
Agent Carroll has shared all their documentation and findings with me and I find their reasons to be trivial and could not possibly warrant dismissal after 27 years as an agent. After dedication to his job for 27 years Kyle was within 17 months to receive his full retirement before his termination.   
It is a travesty that someone so highly respected in our communities who portrays a positive image for the MDC is released because of minor personnel differences. Kyle was a fine spokesperson for MDC in Northwest Missouri.

I am disappointed in the department by this action and I am taking strong measures to correct and restore Kyle’s position.  I encourage all of you to call the Dept. of Conservation (573-522-4115 ext. 3212) in Jefferson City to voice your opinion.  

As always, I can be reached at my Capitol office 573-751-0246 or 866-596-1645 / e-mail @ jim.guest@house.mo.gov. My District Office 660-535-6664/ jimoguest@msn.com  My mailing address is Room 235B-B, State Capitol Building, Jefferson City, MO65101.You can catch me on the web at-  www.jimguest.com

MEXICAN TRUCK DRIVER KILLS 4 INJURES 6 COULD 24 YEARS IN PRISON!

No Mexican Trucks on our streets! You Can FAX Hammer Congress with this message
today with http://www.faxdc.com

A trucker who plowed his trailer rig into a traffic jam on Interstate 15 last
year killing four people and injuring six was sentenced to four to 24 years in
prison. Milson Sabino Oliveira Filho, 52, sobbed and his body shook as he talked
of his remorse about the crash and said faulty brakes were to blame for the
deaths. "I was about to get off on the Cheyenne exit and at the last minute I
decided not to and lost control of my truck," Oliveira, who speaks Spanish, told
Senior District Judge Charles Thompson through an interpreter.

Could YOUR Family be the Victim of Unsafe Mexican Trucks?

Oliveira, a Mexican trucker, was driving a trailer full of paper pulp from Utah
to Southern California about 9:25 p.m. Nov. 16 when he barreled up behind traffic
that had slowed to a crawl in a construction zone on the southbound side of the
freeway near Cheyenne Avenue. Oliveira said his speed was 50 mph, but Chief
Deputy District Attorney L.J. O'Neale said investigators estimated it was 60 mph.
O'Neale said he believed fatigue also played a role in the crash. Oliveira's
driving logs were inaccurate, but investigators were able  to determine that he
had been driving for 7 1/2 more hours than federal regulations allow, O'Neale
said. Federal hours-of-service rules allow interstate commerce truckers to drive
up to 11 hours in any 14-hour shift before they must take 10 consecutive hours
off. Oliveira said his brakes failed him. "I tried to stop the truck by throwing
it against the divider,"  Oliveira said as he wept. "I kept doing that but it
wouldn't stop."

Thirteen vehicles were part of the pileup in front of Oliveira's truck.  The
collision catapulted the car being driven by Robert Allen Newsted Jr., killing
the 31-year-old steel company supervisor. His infant son was strapped into a car
seat and survived the wreck. But everyone in the first vehicle struck by the
18-wheeler died: Arturo Cortez, 69, his wife Estrellita, 64, and their 7-year-old
granddaughter Kayla, who was in the backseat. The truck dragged the Cortezes'
car "for more than 100 feet, leaving,  I'm sorry to say, body parts in the road,"
O'Neale said. Virginia resident and U.S. Air Force member Sarah Hamilton used her
jacket to cover Kayla's body, the prosecutor said. Other Air Force personnel who,
like Hamilton, had been driving away from Nellis Air Force Base at the time of
the crash, parked a vehicle  on I-15 to block the little girl's body from
traffic, O'Neale said.  Kayla's father, Arturo Cortez Jr., was in the courtroom
for Oliveira's sentencing.

Oliveira pleaded guilty to seven counts of reckless driving in exchange for
prosecutors dropping four counts of involuntary  manslaughter.

Support HR3074 and Stop the Mexican Trucks!

Already an amendment introduced by three members of the House of Representatives
aims to cut off all funding for any sort of cross-border program with Mexican
motor carriers. Members of the House have begun consideration of HR3074, the
Transportation-HUD appropriations bill for fiscal year 2008. Reps. Peter DeFazio,
D-OR, Duncan Hunter, R-CA, Gary Miller, R-CA, and Nancy Boyda, D-KS, introduced
an amendment to the legislation calling for a stop of all funding for
cross-border trucking programs with Mexico.

Sutton refuses to testify at hearings

Tomorrow, July 31, The Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on
International Organizations, Human Rights and Oversight
will hold a hearing entitled, "The Case of Ramos and Compean:
The Across Border Context".

The hearing will begin at 2 p.m., and is open to the public,
will explore the Mexican government�s role in the prosecution
of the two border agents currently serving 11 and 12 year
prison sentences.

Unfortunately, U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton has refused
to testify at the hearing. Rep. Dana Rohrabacher said
of Sutton's refusal, "The Department of Justice and
Homeland Security have done their best to impede our
investigation... by not providing documents and now
refuse [ing] to send the proper witnesses to account
for their decisions. This shows an arrogance and
ontinued disrespect for congressional oversight by
this Administration."

+ + Action Item--Contact Johnny Sutton�s office

Chris, I'm appalled by Sutton's actions and
complete lack of respect. That is why I'm urging ALL
members of our team to contact his office over the
next several days to voice your outrage over his
actions/inaction.

Here is his contact information: 210/384-7400

I want to flood his offices with thousands of angry
phone calls over these next several days. Chris,
let him know that while he might not want the truth
about Ramos and Compean revealed, you certainly do!

Thank you for standing with Grassfire to free Ramos and Compean.

MINUTEMAN PROJECT RECEIVES GLOWING FINANCIAL AUDIT REPORT

The long-awaited results of a financial audit of the Minuteman Project were
presented publicly today with a positive audit report that establishes the
integrity
of that organization and its president, Jim Gilchrist.

The audit firm’s “unqualified” report is the most prestigious and complimentary
opinion that can be given to a company by the accounting and audit industry in
the United States.  The audit was conducted by the Burbank, Ca. CPA firm of
Terrence Milaney.

“I am elated,” Gilchrist said of the results of the two-month-long audit of the
immigration law enforcement advocacy group he founded almost three years ago
to bring national awareness to the nation’s illegal alien invasion crisis.

“I never doubted that the Minuteman Project would come through its annual audit
with flying colors,” Gilchrist added.

The auditor’s report stated that the financial position of the Minuteman Project
was in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles “in all respects.”

The Minuteman Project, founded by Gilchrist on Oct. 1, 2004, spawned a
coast-to-coast movement with several hundred independent minuteman organizations
sprouting up nationally.  Gilchrist, known for maintaining a policy of openness
to law enforcement, tax authorities, and the media, said transparency is the best
policy in the business of volunteer activism.

Gilchrist’s advice to the many minuteman groups across the country:  “Let’s get
on with saving our country.  Come on, Americans.  Let’s roll!”

Gilchrist added that he expects those who attempted to steal the Minuteman
Project several months ago will continue harassing him and his associates with
frivolous lawsuits, malicious defamation, and other types of interference
designed to stall the minuteman movement.

The audit report and accompanying financial statements will be available for
viewing on the Minuteman Project and Gilchrist’s personal web sites on August 3.

CENSORSHIP OF MINUTEMAN PROJECT ENDING: AGREEMENT CALLS FOR SCHOOL TO ALLOW TOWN

Jim Gilchrist's Minuteman Project, an organization that concerns itself with the
protection and sanctity of the U.S. border, will be given access to public
facilities at Compton Community College in California for a town hall meeting
under a lawsuit settlement that is being worked out now.

Lawyer Michael Sands of the Pro Family Law Center told WND that an agreement with
the school should be final shortly.

The lawsuit had been filed when Compton officials refused the Minuteman Project
permission to use any facilities on campus for a town hall meeting about illegal
immigration, border security and other issues, citing a rule against allowing
buildings to be used by "special interest or advocacy groups."

Gilchrist, the project founder, has told WND his group's members are worried over
incidents such as an incursion earlier this year in Arizona, where U.S. National
Guard troops actually retreated in the face of oncoming – and armed – attackers
from south of the border.

His group works to publicize such concerns, and develop support for solutions.

But documents obtained by the organization showed the school already had opened
up its facilities to a "Farrakan Event," a "Multi-cultural Youth Peace
Summit/Registration Drive" and "The Black Student Union and Muhammad's Mosque
Peacemakers."

"Once you open up a school to one special interest group, you have to provide
equal access," Sands told WND at the time. "They (school officials) could be
putting forth some sort of agenda. They have to open up their facilities to all
other groups who properly apply for permission."

The request had been rejected by Jamillah Moore, interim superintendent of
Compton Community College, and the lawsuit alleged the school denied the
Minuteman Project equal access to the use of facilities based on the content of
the speech intended to be engaged in by the Minuteman Project.

The school has offered to pay the Minuteman Project $9,000 in fees and damages
and will allow the group's use of campus facilities with the main requirement
information about counter-demonstrators who could be expected, in order to
prepare security, officials said.

Sands said he understands the school's need for information that could help it
prepare security.

"I don't think that's burdensome on my client, to basically provide that
information to them," he told WND.

He said the school also previously had demanded a $14,000 security fee from the
organization, a fee not charged to others using the facilities, so that now has
been waived

New Ohio Constitution Party affiliate gains news media coverage on first day of regional organizational meetings!

In what Ohio Constitution Party Chairman, Robert Owens,  termed  "380 miles and a long day in the trenches," the new Ohio affiliate for the Constitution Party kicked off its statewide organizational efforts in earnest this past Saturday, July 28,  holding the first two of five regional organizational meetings which are planned around the state.
 
Chairman, Robert Owens, attended both meetings to provide leadership and continuity.  He reports the meeting in Newcomerstown was hosted by Sam McVey, with  whom Owens is working to organize Ohio's 18th Congressional District.  Owens says that he and McVey have set  a goal of 50 dues paying  Constitution Party members by 2008 in the 18th District and are making plans to reach that objective and otherwise build the party in that area.
 
Owens reports that the Youngstown meeting was attended by a very enthusiastic group of 14 local supporters.  He wished to recognize the support and leadership of Alice Marshall who was largely responsible for organizing this successful meeting and for securing news media coverage of the event.  Owens  indicates  that there is an excellent opportunity for recruitment and for building  the Constitution Party in this northeastern area of  Ohio.
 
The Constitution Party is building a strong local foundation in Ohio which is a key component in developing a lasting political organization in any state.  Three more preliminary regional organizational meetings will soon be held in other areas of the state. 
 
In addition, the Ohio Constitution Party is making preparations to circulate it's petition to place the Constitution Party candidates for President and Vice-President on the 2008 ballot.  Stand-in candidates for the purpose of the petition (Jim Clymer will be listed for President and Chuck Baldwin will be listed for Vice-President) are allowed under Ohio law.  This allows the group to begin circulation of the petition now or in the very near future.  The nominees of next spring's National Convention will be substituted as the permanent candidate on the Ohio ballot.
 
The following newspaper article gives coverage of Saturday's Ohio CP meeting in Youngstown:
