Coalition of 9/11 Families

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Coalition of 9/11 Families is a new conglomerate made up of several of the original support groups, each of which started independently after the September 11 terrorist attacks. In March 2002, they decided to bond into a "formidable alliance" ^[1]. In 2002, Tom Rogér was "the graying, mild-mannered" vice-president. Then, Rogér's organization -- whose board features a lobbyist and four lawyers -- was pushing for a bipartisan commission to investigate the events leading up to the September 11 attacks^[1].

Bill Doyle, whose 25-year-old son, Joey, was killed in the attacks ^[2] was previously the leader of "Give Your Voice"^[1], and now heads the Coalition as one of its board members ^[3]. He has publicly stated on the Alex Jones (radio) Show that he believes the U.S. government was complicit in the attacks, and estimates this conclusion is shared by half of the 9/11 families he represents. "It looks like there was a conspiracy behind 9/11 if you really look at all the facts - a lot of families now feel the same way."^[4].

The Coalition has asked for nine of the sixteen acres of Ground Zero to be preserved, and that the Port Authority of New York move a transportation hub slated for construction directly beneath the North Tower, because dozens of bodies were found there. The Port Authority has indicated they may grant the Coalition's request^[1].
