The objective of
Houston911Truth
is to effectively and efficiently concentrate on bringing an honest
recognition of the truth of 911 and all of its implications to
ordinary or everyday consciousness, especially of those citizens who
are inclined to take active measures and who have the capacity to
influence those in responsible positions in the major sectors of our
society. Houston911Truth will not entertain any other issues
that have the possibility of distracting the members of
Houston911Truth from their focus on 911 and the direct implications
of 911, in terms of identifying those responsible, their methods of
operation, their possible motives and the means by which they are to
be brought to justice.

Organizational Rules
1. General
rules of order: In deciding its course of action, the organization
will follow Robert's Rules Of Order in all of its meetings of members
except where, by initially utilizing Robert's Rules Of Order a more
expeditious method may temporarily be called for and utilized after a
majority vote of the members.
2. Special rules of
order:
a) When officially adopting position
statements about the events of 911 themselves, decisions will be by
consensus only. This means that as long as any regular member of
Houston911Truth offers a serious objection to the position,
it shall
not be adopted by the group until the objection is resolved and a
consensus has been established, and only under these circumstances
will the position become an official position of
Houston911Truth.
b) Where major events are
proposed they will only be passed on a 2/3rd's vote in order to gain
a greater degree of consensus and thus a more enthusiastic
participation.
3. Membership will be granted to
those who, after having read the mission statement and rules of the
organization, verbally consent to the objectives of the mission
statement and state that they understand the rules and will abide by
them.
4. If it appears that a member is not
conforming to the mission and rules of Houston911Truth and, after a
hearing before the members to ascertain the facts demonstrates that
this is so, his or her membership may be repealed by a majority vote
of the members present.
5. Officers of the
organization and the number needed to efficiently carry on the work
of the organization at any particular time in the life of the
organization will be decided on from time to time. But at the
first meeting the initial business will be to select at least one
officer to preside over the meetings who will be chosen in the manner
prescribed by Robert's Rules Of Order.
6. All
members will be provided with a copy of the mission statement and the
rules of the organization.
7. The mission
statement will not be changed but by a 2/3 vote of the members able
to respond in a timely manner, whether physically present at a
meeting or not and only after advance notice has been given during
a regular meeting of the group and published to the membership at
least two weeks prior to a subsequent meeting,
8.
The rules may be altered for any given meeting only by a 2/3rds vote
of all the members physically present.
9. Members
will communicate by email (all members will be immediately subscribed
to the houston911truth listserve). Though names, addresses and
telephone numbers of all members will be kept on file they will
only be shared with other members when necessary and only with
the consent of the individual members. All communication between
members will maintain a tone of mutual respect. Differences of
opinion about matters on which the organization has not taken an
official position will be respected and congenially debated.
All members share responsibility for making Houston911Truth a
positive and welcoming environment for other 911 truth activists.
