The “BuildingWhat?” NYC Television Advertising Campaign – BuildingWhat.org

The “BuildingWhat?” Television Advertising Campaign – BuildingWhat.org

“Recognizing the high correlation between those who know about the collapse of WTC 7 and those who believe that a new – or rather real – 9/11 investigation is needed, I propose that the international 9/11 Truth Movement initiate, starting this September, a world-wide, year-long ‘BuildingWhat?’ campaign. Through this campaign, we would seek to make the fact of its collapse so widely known that the mention of Building 7 would never again evoke the question: ‘Building What?‘”

-David Ray Griffin

Dear Fellow Truth Advocates,

Today, the 11th of August 2010, we are pleased to announce the beginning of the worldwide “BuildingWhat?” campaign.

For nearly nine years, the American people and the world have been kept in the dark about an event of monumental significance: the freefall collapse of World Trade Center Building 7, a 47-story skyscraper that was the third building to fall on September 11, 2001, even though it was not struck by a plane and suffered only minimal fire damage. Only a small minority of the public has seen footage of this collapse. But the vast majority of those who have seen the footage agree that the building was brought down intentionally, and they therefore support a new investigation of 9/11.

In 1975, nearly 12 years after JFK’s assassination, the public release of the Zapruder film created widespread doubt of the official account and eventually led to the creation of the House Select Committee on Assassinations. The Committee found that the Warren Commission investigation had been seriously flawed, and that there had indeed been a second gunman. The lesson we must take from this is that a few seconds of video footage can help reshape the way a country views the event of its generation.

There is a reason why the mainstream news media won’t discuss or air footage of the collapse of Building 7 – because that footage is the “Zapruder film of 9/11.” As the first step in a worldwide effort to spread awareness of the collapse of Building 7 to every corner of the globe, we have come together to cosponsor the “BuildingWhat?” Television Advertising Campaign in New York City. Our goal is to enlighten over 1 million New Yorkers with footage of Building 7’s freefall collapse. The plan is to blanket the New York City television market with our ad during the week of September 20, 2010.

The Final Day – 1,000 Phone Calls!

April 7, 2010

Everyone, Please call for the final day of this campaign. It is fast, easy and painless. You might be the 1,000th call, we need you!

Fellow Advocates:
 
No one is answering the phone at the Speaker’s legislative office and there is no way to leave a message.  Not a problem.  Please contact her district office at               (212) 564-7757         (212) 564-7757.  Please see below for additional instructions sent out earlier this morning.

April 7, 2010

Fellow Advocates:

 Today is a special day.  For the last three weeks, your phone calls and faxes have worked like a steam roller, paving the way for NYC CAN and courageous council members to begin to raise the discussion about opening a real investigation into the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7.  Today we bring this marathon effort to a close by making a statement that will resonate through City Hall.

 Rather than contacting three council members, we are contacting only one – the most powerful member of the City Council, the Speaker, Christine Quinn.  Our goal is to reach 1,000 phone calls, which will amount to one phone call every 30 seconds.  This tactic is not arbitrary – in order to get through to Christine Quinn we need a gigantic show of support, and it only takes two minutes of your time.

Building What?! Day 16 (Almost there!)

April 6, 2010

April 6, 2010

Fellow Advocates:

Today we head into our seventh meeting with a member of the New York City Council.  Your phone calls and faxes made this meeting happen, and they are making a tremendous difference in paving the way for honest and courageous council members to raise the discussion with their colleagues on the City Council.  If you want to get glimpse of the action, scroll down to the bottom of this email to read the cover letter of the packet we leave with the council members. 

Please remember we need your help tomorrow to reach our goal of 1,000 phone calls the City Council Speaker, Christine Quinn.

Thank you!

Building What?! Day 15

April 5, 2010

 April 5, 2010

Fellow Advocates:

 Here we are, heading into the fourth and final week of the Building What?! campaign!  Thank you for sticking with it.

 As this campaign comes to an end, we would like you to contact us and let us know your thoughts about what worked, what didn’t work, and your suggestions for where we should continue to channel our collective voice.  

Please remember, whether you’ve been participating for the last three weeks or not, we need you to make that one all-important phone call this coming Wednesday to the Speaker of the City Council, Christine Quinn.  When it comes to the Speaker, we must establish ourselves as a force to be reckoned with, or it’s not even worth contacting her office.  So please help us reach our goal of 1,000 phone calls.

Building What?! Day 14 (and important Day 17 info!)

April 1, 2010

Fellow Advocates:

Please note that City Council offices will be closed tomorrow, Friday, April 2 in observance of Good Friday.  Building WHAT?! will resume full force on Monday, April 5, and culminate on Wednesday, April 7 with the Speaker of the City Council, Christine Quinn, who will be the only council member we contact that day.  Our goal for the Speaker’s office is 1,000 phone calls and faxes, so please be sure to participate on Wednesday, April 7 – with only one person to contact it’s very easy!   

Also, just to reiterate, please be sure to direct the aides to “A Message From Bob McIlvaine” on the NYCCAN.org homepage so that they see footage of Building 7 and learn what the pursuit of truth is all about. 

Thank you!

Building What?! Day 12

March 30, 2010

March 30, 2010

Fellow Advocates:

 Thank you for making Day 11 another eye-opening day!  One caller had this to report:

“Called all three today – ladies at Reyna and Rivera’s offices were very receptive to the news about Building 7… None of the three had even heard of Building 7 before this calling campaign.  I did my best to inform – got some “wow” responses!”

Building What?! Day 11 (7 Days to Go!)

March 29, 2010

 March 29, 2010

Fellow Advocates:

Thank you for sticking with it and making it easy for the City Council to listen to us with your polite and focused manner! So far all of the offices have told us they were pleased with how we have been communicating our message. Rest assured they are taking notice of what we have to say.

As we head into the final seven days of our campaign, we will be contacting some key council members whose support we will be counting on to make the City Council address Building 7, The Salomon Brothers building. So please be sure to continue what you are doing and make the effort end with a crescendo.

If you haven’t gotten involved yet, please consider doing so. One participant had this to say on Friday: “I’m pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to make a few simple calls to the Council Members. Their aides seem friendly and sincere, and are telling me they’re getting over 100 calls per day. They all promise that the Members will be looking into WTC 7. It feels good to help spread the word.”

Building What?! Day 7

March 23, 2010

Fellow Advocates:

 

March 23, 2010

Thank you for keeping Building What?! going full blast.  Our numbers are high and the simplicity of our message is opening eyes.  Think about it this way: two weeks from today the entire New York City Council and all of their staff will know that 1,100+ architects and engineers are calling for a new investigation into the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7.  Almost all of them will have seen footage of WTC 7, and a vast majority, those capable of being honest with themselves, will know that office fires did not bring it down.  That in itself is a remarkable accomplishment, but more importantly, we are creating the kind of awareness that leads to unforeseeable and uncontrollable developments.

BUILDING WHAT?! Day 5

March 19, 2010
March 19,  2010
 
Fellow Advocates: 

Thank you to everyone who helped make Building What?! Day 4 an amazing success.

12 down. 39 to go.

We’ve decided to continue sending email blasts. To make it possible, we kindly ask you to donate to help cover the extra $250 it will cost to send 12 more email blasts, AND, your donation will go toward a new NYC pubic opinion poll. Please donate a manageable amount of $25 – or more if you can manage. The poll will allow us to show the City Council that a majority of New Yorkers support a new investigation, and that a vast majority who’ve seen footage of Building 7 collapse do not believe office fires were the cause. Showing the Council that its constituents would support a new investigation is an essential part of this campaign. We have raised $1100 of the $4850 needed for the poll. If you have $25 to spare, this is an opportunity to send a powerful message to the City Council at a critical moment when they will be listening – please don’t pass it up. Go to NYCCAN.org right now and help us by donating what you can.

An important update to the instructions from yesterday: tell aides to go to NYCCAN.org, rather than YouTube, to watch “A Message From Bob McIlvaine”.

BUILDING WHAT?! Day 4 (and Important Updates!)

March 18, 2010
Fellow Advocates:
  
Thank you to everyone who helped make Building What?! Day 3 an even greater success. 
 
9 down. 42 to go.

Before giving Day 3’s quotes and Day 4’s council member info, we have two important updates to make:

1) Starting tomorrow, Day 5, instructions will no longer be sent through email blasts.  Please go to NYCCAN.org, where instructions for that day will be posted. 
 
Repeat: there will not be an action alert in your inbox on Friday.  Please be sure to go to NYCCAN.org on your own to get the instructions. 
 
It is crucial that the same number of people participate once we stop sending out email blasts, so, on Friday, we will ask you to send an email to info@nyccan.org notifying us that you participated that day.

2) It is increasingly clear the staffers we speak with are extremely receptive and in most cases they have not seen footage of Building 7.  If you get into a conversation with them, ask if they have seen footage of Building 7.  If they haven’t, offer to send them the link to “A Message From Bob McIlvaine” – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH9meDbrlP8 – which will show them the two most impressive angles of Building 7, and it will show them what the honest pursuit of truth is all about.  Encourage them to share the video with everyone in the office.  Winning the staff will help immeasurably in winning the council members.  

If they give you their email address, please send it to info@nyccan.org so that we can add it to our list of contacts within the City Council.  If they don’t want to give their email address, tell them to go to YouTube and search for “Message From Bob McIlvaine”. 

 
Please email us at info@nyccan.org if you do get a staffer to watch the video.
Quotes from Day 3:

 

“I was the first to speak to [          ]’s assistant and he was already well informed on the issue – it shows the great job everyone is doing to get the truth out.”

“The gentleman who answered was exceedingly polite and understanding – he indicated that they had been inundated with telephone calls this morning.”
