Kristen Breitweiser's (9/11 Jersey Girl) Book Wake-Up Call - I Got It!

[RamboLiberal]

It's not supposed to be released till Sept 6th according to Amazon & B&N Sites, but somehow a major bookseller goofed and sent me the book which I got in to my hot little hands yesterday. I haven't had a chance to read it but I did try to skim it. Here's a quick little review of what I managed to glean so far. Kristen was able to include at the end a very classy letter to the Ann Coulter and I copied that final 4 paragraphs which I posted at the end.

It's a very personal account by Kristen, how she met and married her husband, her last interactions with Ron on 9/11, her reactions that day from the moment he called her from the South Tower to tell her about something happening to the other tower, and the rest of that awful day for her. The aftermath, and of course her meetings that would come with the "Jersey Girls" and their growing activism to getting a 9/11 commission.

Kristen writes with a sharp wit and has a wicked sense of humor. She and the Jersey Girls were more than a match for the politicos and officialdom they met with. I bet they left some blood on a lot of D.C. floors.

She covers how politics compromised any hope that the commission would get to the final truth. When you read what she uncovered about what the CIA knew about the hijackers in the country you can't help but wonder LIHOP or MIHOP. She very much believes in Able Danger which I personally had not, but I'm going to have to rethink and follow what comes of it.

Her experiences about what made her politically active in the Kerry campaign is interesting, and what she experienced behind the scenes in the campaign including the ineptitude of those in charge including Mary Beth Cahill and Bob Shrum spell out what many of us know. Interestingly she found the most productive and connected with the people part of the campaign was working with John Edwards and Elizabeth Edwards whom she grew close to and called "Lizzie". Kerry never called Kristen following the campaign, but John Edwards in the midst of dealing with Elizabeth Edward's cancer called her two days after the concession.

And she had time to get in the book at the very end a very classy 5 1/2 page letter to the vixen Ann Coulter. Here's the last 4 paragraphs.

Ann, I don't want to get in a debate with you. It's not because I am afraid of your or your nasty bullying tactics. I'm not going to debate you because we have many, many more important issues to deal with in our country right now.

But I will leave you with this: We live in America, the world's oldest democracy. Democracy can prevail (is that what you and your friends really fear?), but that requires hard work, as President Bush might say. Every citizen in this country is entitled to his or her beliefs, and every citizen is entitled to participate. We still have the right to speak our minds to effect change (within the parameters of the law, of course). So don't try to silence the voices of victims or anyone else, merely because you disagree with them or feel threatened by their political choices. In my opinion, your method of using intimidation and insults to "win" a debate is truly unpatriotic.

Actually, I expect that you will continue to scream and shout and smear as nastily as you want, so long as you think that that kind of behavior sells books. But we have tackled bigger bullies than you and lived through far worst circumstances than your book tour. We're not intimidated by you. We're not running away.

And under no circumstances will we be silenced by your "godless" rantings and ravings.

PETITION OF SOLIDARITY

with New York legislators, first responders, victim families, and millions of NY citizens calling for a new investigation of unsolved 9/11 crimes, and the full prosecution of those found responsible.

In memory and on behalf of:

the more than 2800 murdered in New York on September 11, 2001, including 343 firefighters and 75 police officers;
the hundreds of thousands of residents and workers variously harmed by the assault;
the equivalent numbers suffering dire health effects from attack-related pollution;
New York's collateral victims, human and institutional, who collectively lost billions of dollars in business, career and property damages; and
the millions of New York citizens who have lost precious freedoms, rights, family members and/or faith in government in the resulting so-called "War on Terror."
We the undersigned:

a) think that there is ample evidence and probable cause to believe that many grave and still unresolved crimes were committed by US officials prior to, during and after the events of 9/11;

b) observe that most of these apparent crimes, including but not limited to abetment of mass murder, criminal negligence, insider trading, and obstruction of justice, fall well within the jurisdiction of New York's top law enforcement officials, who thus become the People's last recourse when federal intervention yields no credible answers, relief or accountability;

c) therefore petition the Attorney General of the State of New York and the District Attorney of the Borough of Manhattan:
to open urgent new investigations into the most serious, incriminating,
and still largely unexplicated bodies of 9/11 evidence,
to expose and fully prosecute the perpetrators of all discovered crimes,
to restore damages, justice and honor to the state and people of New York, and thereby
to reclaim the public trust in government and our system of law.
Signed,

11537 concerned citizens
