Overdue update...

Hello fellow Cleveland Truthers,

I am the long lost "organizer" of the Cleveland Campaign for 911 Truth. I have much to share and I will not be loading it all into this message tonight but I feel my communication on here to all of you is well overdue and I wanted to at least get the ball rolling on my end.

First of all, a little history as to how I got to be "organizer" of this meetup as I feel it is important in explaining, 'where I've been'. I originally joined this group in October of 2006 after having attended many meetings prior to the meetup groups conception as an effort to expand by the original organizer.

Energy was very high last year and our group was making waves both on the street handing out DVDs (est. 4500+) flyers along with those and also getting on the radio and getting some much needed airtime devoted to 911 truth in Cleveland and on the net. Then came the BIG Event when we brought 911 Hero and survivor William Rodriguez to town only a month after personally spending a week in New York for the 6 year anniversary of the attacks.

Financially I was drained, I neglected to pay my student loans for 2 months just to make ends meet so I could pull off the Willie event in October. Then came a random speaking engagement for the Coast-2-Coast AMs discussion group out in Parma and I really poured myself out in an impromptu presentation that lasted over a half hour when I was only supposed to be up there for 10 minutes. As great as it felt to great so much off of my chest to a bunch a loving freethinkers and Cleveland natives it was one of the last draws in what I had left at the time.

Those that know me can affirm I have changed everything in my life to accommodate the things I have learned about over the last few years. So I have already been dealing with a bit of an identity crisis as a result of it all, but you see I have added another challenge into the mix for myself as what started as a spiritual quest. Two and a half years ago I stopped cutting my hair...in struggling to get my own family and friends attention as to how important the topic of 911 was so I had no other choice but to do something radical and nonviolent to hopefully gain their attention to show, "That there is something WRONG here and you need to stop and LOOK!!!" I concluded that out of all the lives lost, on 911, in Afghanistan and Iraq the one thing other then life itself that I could do that 'they' couldn't was 'grow my hair'. They no longer have a choice to grow it, cut it, trim it so I chose to give it up in their continued honor until these illegal wars and the pointless murdering and torture are stopped.

Anyway, it was at this point that my personal struggles with this challenge were stressing me out and I crashed!! And I am SORRY!!

As I was going through this breakdown I got an email from the meetup website stating that it was going to be shutdown due to the current organizer canceling payment and after talking it over with R.E. and both of us agreeing that we could not afford losing the meetup group I got approval from my mother to use here credit card since I do not have one, and I became the new organizer and have been paying for it since.

This could not have happened at a worse time in my life and I now am feeling I owe you all more apologizes as I've been building up to get back to it. I am sorry for not being here and I am sorry I neglected to face these somewhat trivial things in my personal life let alone let them effect this group in anyway.

This is much longer then I planned to write and I hope I haven't tied you up for too long. If you've made it this far, THANK YOU!

I am working on some new updates and plans for some meetups in the near future so keep your eyes open in the next week and Thank you again for your understanding and support.

I look forward to seeing many of you again and to meet many of our newer members that have unfortunately not had the opportunity to attend a meetup as of yet.

Peace, Love and 911 Truth,
Nick Chiro
