I left NY almost 11 years ago, and this is the first shred of hope I have for divine restoration of New York state. New York needs a senator who will fight for her and Caroline Kennedy has the power and wisdom to do it.
I've been advocating for years the need to deal with World Trade Center Illness. Since I don't live in New York, Senator Clinton does not respond to me. I believe Kennedy will take on that issue and win the necessary funding and other support required to solve the problem, unlike the senator she is replacing who is so ineffective on the issue that the victims had to march on Washington last year for support.
When the EPA said the air and water were safe on 9/13/01, the current senators were silent. There were no demands to see the air quality reports from the sewers or the city's EPA numbers, which would have shown high toxic levels from the exploded WTC 1, 2 & 7; enough to have ordered an evacuation, not a lock down of the city. Instead of the senators speaking out immediately, the city was left to the mercy of the mayor's management. We are learning how that turned out as body parts are being found on the site as recently as last year.
According to Kennedy's cousin, Robert Kennedy Jr's Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) report, THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ATTACKS - A PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT "At least 10,000 New Yorkers have suffered short-term health ailments from Trade Center generated air contaminants." Reports are that the fall out from those buildings was as toxic as drain cleaner. "World Trade Center Cough" and "World Trade Center Illness" are medical phrases.
The WTC buildings held, as reported by the NRDC, 1.2 million tons of building materials. This was mixed with thousands of gallons of jet fuel containing benzene and other toxic chemicals. Included in the buildings contents were 300-400 tons of asbestos, 424,000 tons of concrete, an estimated 50,000 personal computers with 4 pounds of lead per computer or 200,000 pounds of lead just from the pc's, glass, PCB's, mercury from the light bulbs and computers, 130,000 gallons of transformer oil, and Lord knows what else. NRDC calls the 9/11 disaster a "pollution event."
If Kennedy had been senator then, I assume the subject would have come up over the family holiday dinner.
When she becomes senator, the environment in New York will finally get real care. She has the connections to raise the funds needed to help people in the tri-state area deal with the economic and health issues this disease presents.
I've added to my prayer list that Gov. David Patterson do the right thing and give the people of the great state of New York a champion senator they deserve. With the upcoming World Trade Center Illness crisis (the dust was not limited to below 14th Street as reported) it is best to have a well connected, independent champion in the senate.
This change is gonna be great, Lord willing.

Why Isn't Gov. David Patterson Screaming About 9/11?
Maybe I'm not suppose to understand.
Can somebody please explain to me why the new governor of New York, David Patterson, is not screaming and demanding an immediate, vetted investigation into what really happened on 9/11/01. He has inherited a state with a huge wound and little to no resources to heal it.
There are many webeos on the subject of 9/11 Truth, i.e. Loose Change, a great 9/11 starter piece. (Not the last edited one, the Second Edition)
The military was on stand down on 9/11. Dr. Steven E. Jones reports thermite was found at the WTC site. Many witnesses reported hearing explosions. The main beneficiary of the crime is the Bush Administration, who used the event as a motivation to their march to war.
Governor Patterson's first responsibility should be to the people of New York, unlike that of the federal government.
Thanks Keith Olberman and the Countdown crew for your great and courageous coverage, like the piece on:
Rep. Darrell Issa 'Worst Person' for Refusing 9/11 Sick Aid
New Yorkers are suffering and dying from World Trade Center Illness, not just the first responders either. Though there have been studies and folks registered, no help is available when disease manifest. As witnessed by body parts still being found at the site, the city was never cleaned of the exploded World Trade Centers 1, 2 & 7.
Rather than take a proactive strategy of preventative medicine, the government chose, despite repeated warnings, to study the problem.
Governor Patterson needs to lead the fight to help New Yorkers, and the dust did not stop at 14th Street, deal with the unspoken health crisis people are experiencing.
The governor needs to demand unconditional health care to all exposed.
Pay for the medical bill with complete legalization of hemp in New York. Apply a 20% recreational hemp tax. It's a perfect place for a ground zero fight of states vs. federal rights.

I'm Shocked - Governor Spitzer is Corrupt!!!

Lori, http://www.legitgov.org/ thanks for your great insight. Good catch. As I watch the news of the New York governor, I'm seeing scenes from Casablanca 'I'm shocked, there's gambling going on here...Here's your winnings sir...Thanks.'
Weapon of mass distraction is an understatement. Only fools are shocked that the governor of New York is corrupt. How else could there be 80 precincts, some in Harlem, with zero votes for Obama in this year's primary election and nobody in government says anything.
"Unofficial Tallies in City Understated Obama Vote -http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/16/nyregion/16vote.html
Black voters are heavily represented in the 94th Election District in Harlem’s 70th Assembly District. Yet according to the unofficial results from the New York Democratic primary last week, not a single vote in the district was cast for Senator Barack Obama.
Counting the Results
That anomaly was not unique. In fact, a review by The New York Times of the unofficial results reported on primary night found about 80 election districts among the city’s 6,106 where Mr. Obama supposedly did not receive even one vote, including cases where he ran a respectable race in a nearby district."
The only real headline is
NY GETS IT'S FIRST BLACK GOVERNOR
but it will take a bit for folks to realize that.

Still Waiting for That First Black Governor

The article describing the opposition to the Bush Administration's nomination of William Lucas to head the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division errs in one respect (news story, May 10): You reported that ''Mr. Lucas, a Republican . . . would have become the nation's first black governor since Reconstruction had he won his 1986 campaign in Michigan.''
During Reconstruction, the decade between 1867 and 1877, the Federal Government, as a result of the passage of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the Constitution and other civil rights legislation, took steps to enfranchise former slaves for their participation in the nation's electoral process.
Blacks sought elective offices in local, county, state and Federal Governments. Blacks were elected to important positions and served as lieutenant governor, secretary of state, state auditor, speaker of the house, justice of the state supreme court, state superintendent of education and state senators and representatives by the hundreds. Between 1870, when Joseph H. Rainey was elected to the 41st Congress from South Carolina, and 1901, when George H. White, a North Carolina attorney, ended his second term in the 50th House, 22 black men served in the Congress.
But no black has ever been elected to a state governership in the en-tire history of the United States.
During Reconstruction, one black man came close. P. B. S. Pinchback was elected lieutenant governor of Louisiana in 1872 and served as acting governor when Gov. Henry Warmouth was debarred from his office during impeachment proceedings. Pinchback aspired to the governorship and had a chance at the nomination as the Republican Party split into two conventions. But instead the Legislature elected Pinchback to the United States Senate. However, his election was disputed and he was never seated. STANLEY TURKEL New York,
