Friends,
In the five years of existence of 9/11 Families for a Secure America, we have never sent an email asking for donations from our members and friends. However, we have now reached the point where, without your help, we must cease operations, for we have only three hundred dollars in our account.
You may notice that we have already stopped updating our website and have not sent any emails for over a month. We have not been able to send a representative to Washington to lobby Congress since last summer, and we have no one doing publicity for us.
There is not a single other lobbying organization that speaks for the victims of terrorism and other violent crimes committed by illegal aliens which is demanding enforcement of our border security and immigration laws.
The simple fact is that ONLY 9/11 Families for a Secure America fills that need, and if we must shut down, these victims will have no national voice.
If you are able to contribute $100.00, or any amount, we can continue to function. Without your help we are finished.
Below is a review of our activities in 2007. We believe that this summary of our successes reinforces what a tragedy it would be if 9/11 FSA is forced to shut down.
So 9-11FSA Friends and Family members please take the time and donate to our efforts by going to our web site and checking on the donate button and be as generous as you can.
If you prefer, you can contribute by check made out to
9/11 Families for a Secure America,

Thank you,
Peter Gadiel

Review of 2007
9/11 FSA Played a Major Role in the Battle
To Ban Drivers’ Licenses for Illegal Aliens And The
Unknown Terrorists & Violent Felons among Them.
It has long been a primary goal of the illegal alien lobby to win the right for illegals to get US issued drivers’ licenses, because these enable them to evade immigration authorities and to take more jobs from Americans. Of course, issuing licenses to illegals means that terrorists and violent felons will also be able to get them, and thus a good deal of 9/11 FSA’s time has been devoted to lobbying for an end to licensing illegals.
Happily in 2007, four states (North Carolina, Tennessee, Oregon and Michigan) which had been issuing licenses to illegals reversed course and ended that practice. 9/11 FSA members had on numerous occasions lobbied legislators and the public in N.C., Tenn., and Mich. for such a ban and these states finally acted in early 2008. Although we did not lobby in Oregon the ban in that state was a direct result of our highly publicized work in New York in defeating Gov. Eliot Spitzer’s attempt to license illegals in his state. [1]
Our successful campaign to defeat Gov. Spitzer’s insane licensing scheme was covered by, among others, the NY Times, NY Post, Washington Times, Associated Press, CNN, Fox News Channel as well as newspapers and radio talk shows across the Nation.
In his gubernatorial campaign in 2006 Spitzer had promised the illegal alien lobby that if elected he would reverse the noble work of his predecessor, George Pataki, who had made New York’s licenses the most secure in the country. In January of 2007, immediately after Spitzer took office, 9/11 FSA joined in a press conference with State Senator Martin Golden at New York City Hall to warn Spitzer that his plan would lead to more terrorist attacks like those of 9/11.
In September, Spitzer announced that he would immediately send letters to the 150,000 illegals whose licenses had been revoked by the Pataki administration to inform them that they could renew their driving privileges; by the beginning of 2008 he would offer licenses to all other illegals in the State.
9/11 FSA immediately issued a public warning to Spitzer that if he succeeded, inevitably terrorists and violent felons would obtain licenses and use them to facilitate acts of violence. We stated that when those events occurred the governor would have the blood of the victims on his hands and we would hold him publicly responsible.
Our rebuke to Spitzer gained enormous New York and national attention, and was read to him (to his great displeasure) at the press conference where he formally announced the scheme.
The press coverage of the controversy forced the presidential candidates to address the issue, and when Hillary Clinton attempted to put herself on both sides of the debate 9/11 FSA offered a reward of $1000.00 to anyone who could get a straight yes or no answer from her. Our reward succeeded in embarrassing Clinton and drawing yet more national coverage to the dangers of licensing illegals. [2]
On November 15 Spitzer announced he was abandoning his scheme.
To a very significant degree 9/11 FSA’s aggressive response was the reason Spitzer failed in his attempt to license illegals.

After The Victory in New York
Oregon, Michigan and Maryland Soon Followed Suit
New York was pivotal in the battle over illegal alien licensing. Had the open borders lobby been victorious it is certain that many other states would have also begun to license illegals. However, as a result of our victory in New York, Oregon and Michigan, soon announced their own bans on the licensing of illegals.
Oregon
On November 16, one day after Spitzer’s surrender, Oregon’s Democratic Gov. Ted Kulongoski issued an executive order which ended that state’s longstanding policy of licensing of illegals. Kulongoski stated that “[t]here is an increasing concern, based on ongoing investigations, that Oregon is becoming a safe haven’ for unlawfully obtaining identification.â€
