More on Leafletting- some observations

   
August 9, 2006 LeaflettingI also went with Fred and Jon Gold to leaflet in the small but affluent town of Wayne, Pa. I found some interesting observations associated with our task at hand.

1) People will go out of their way to avoid you if they don't want the leaflet. I saw one couple walking toward us, who actually went the long way to their car, around the parking lot, just so they wouldn't have to take a leaflet.

2) When Jon was asking for interviews, some said "we haven't seen the movie yet" as if the movie would suddenly enlighten them to the truth. I believe some people took a flyer because they thought it was more about the movie or related to the theater and the movie showing.

3) We heard several negative remarks including "OH they are just a bunch of conspiracy theorists!" This wasn't taken personally because I realize there is bound to be negative reactions. The positive reactions, which we also encountered offset the negativity. The most discouraging reaction we got was one of apathy- as if people just wanted to forget about 9/11 like it didn't exist. And they didn't care.

4) I would say that most people did take the flyer. Of course, some refused it, some barely glanced at it (at least when we saw them) and some were intrigued.

I did talk to several people about it and advised where they could explore further, and also encouraged them to email me and join pa 9/11 visibility. I think that in general, even if there is only a small percentage who might actually want to do something about this at least that was more then we had the day before.

I strongly believe that public outreach should be a major focal point for us all right now. We plan to follow up by designing a leaflet to take to downtown Philly and surrounding areas-using the non-violence guidelines of course.

In the Netherlands we like what your doing here.
Keep up the good work. We hope you will sucseed in your cause. Allthough lots of people in Holland see Amerika as a great evil, I see lots of good but misled people, and once they awake we will be great friends, joined in the cause for the good.

We have no media coverage of 911 truth, avoidence of the subject by our parlement and political partys, avoidence by the workers unions.

We are working to create a political party with two issues: 911 truth and no electronic voting.
