U.S. SOCIAL FORUM SUPPORTS CINDY SHEEHAN'S CALL FOR A NEW INDEPENDENT
AND INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF THE CAUSES AND CIRCUMSTANCES
SURROUNDING THE EVENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11, 2001

WHEREAS, in accordance with the 2007 U.S. Social Forum's Charter of
Principles we are united in our opposition to "...any form of
imperialism, and are committed to building a planetary society..." and
are united in the common purpose of social, economic and political
justice; and

WHEREAS, the attacks of September 11, 2001 have been consistently used
by the U.S. government as the basis for preemptive illegal wars and
empire building, commonly known as the "Bush Doctrine"; and

WHEREAS, the so-called "war on terrorism" has become an excuse for the
unprecedented destruction of civil liberties, the erosion of
constitutional rights, of domestic surveillance of U.S. citizens, and
illegal detention of immigrants; and

WHEREAS, the vast economic, intellectual and psychological resources of
the American people has been redirected away from needy communities and
towards the pursuit of endless war and global hegemony in a marriage of
corporatism and policy; and

WHEREAS, the 9/11 Commission and their resulting report were clearly
compromised by conflicts of interest and ignored, distorted and omitted
numerous crucial facts surrounding the attacks of September 11 2001 to
fit the officially sanctioned story; and

WHEREAS, members of at least 80 countries died on September 11, 2001; and

WHEREAS, according to numerous national polls, as much as 84% of
Americans state they have significant unanswered questions about the
events of September 11, 2001;

WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE 2007 UNITED STATES SOCIAL FORUM, HEREBY RESOLVE:

To support and pursue the growing calls for a new, international and
fully independent investigation into the causes and events surrounding
the attacks on September 11, 2001.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that a copy of this resolution be presented to
every Member of Congress.
