West Yorkshire Truth Campaign
exposing the most troubling events in recent history

29th September 2006

1. The name of the Campaign shall be “The West Yorkshire Truth Campaign”. This will be a regional network which complements the existing 9/11 Truth and the 7/7 Truth networks.

2. Mission Statement:
Researchers have uncovered many aspects of the official accounts of what happened during the attacks on September 11th, 2001 and July 7th, 2005 which are not in accordance with the known facts. This shows that the public have not been told the truth about what happened. These facts demonstrate that there is a significant possibility these events are examples of state terrorism or state sponsored terrorism. Our aim is to uncover and make known the truth, whatever that may be.

3. The primary purpose and objective of the Campaign is to promote the network’s belief that there has been a cover up regarding the attacks in the USA on September, 11th 2001 and the London bombings on July, 7th 2005.

4. The secondary purpose and objective of the Campaign is to promote the belief that there is strong evidence that these events were False Flag1 terrorist attacks perpetrated by the state. Therefore an independent public inquiry is required to set the official version of events straight.

5. The tertiary purpose and objective of the Campaign is to support the wider Truth Activism2 philosophy regarding other related and unrelated events and activities.

6. The Campaign shall not have members, only supporters. Supporters shall be deemed to be those who support the general aim of the Campaign and have registered this commitment in a way which is recognisable by others. Supporters may vote if they have consistently put in time and/or funds towards the Campaign.

7. The Campaign recognises formally run local truth groups which comprise at least three supporters who have expressly endorsed this constitution.

8. The Campaign shall be non-political and non-sectarian. It shall campaign for truth in a peaceful and non-violent manner. The Campaign, like the existing networks, will function on the basis of “no endorsement”, meaning that anyone may speak or write publicly in support of the campaign but no one may speak on behalf of it. The Steering Committee shall determine who may speak on behalf of the Campaign, should the need arise, and will draw up guidelines of what may be said on its behalf.

9. The management and control of the Campaign shall be vested in a Steering Committee, which shall consist of the following officers, who will be elected annually at the A.G.M. (Annual General Meeting):
a. Chairperson;
b. Vice Chairperson;
c. Secretary;
d. Treasurer;
e. Three additional Committee members.

10. In addition, one member from each of the local truth groups will have the opportunity to be on the Steering Committee.

11. Seven members of the Steering Committee, at least half of whom shall be elected Officers, shall constitute a quorum for the committee3. There shall be at least four Committee meetings a year (spring, summer, autumn & winter) at such times or places as the Committee shall direct.

12. The AGM of the Campaign shall be held within three months of the end of the financial year. Supporters may attend the AGM but only members of the Steering Committee will have voting rights.

13. At the AGM the chair shall be taken by the Chairperson or in his/her absence by the Vice Chairperson of the Committee. Fifteen supporters shall constitute a quorum at the AGM. Motions at the AGM can only be passed by a majority of two-thirds.

14. A Special General Meeting (SGM) shall be convened if required by the Steering Committee or if ten or more supporters of the Campaign submit a written request to the Secretary. Such a meeting shall be held within thirty days of such a request. Agenda & motions shall be circulated to all Steering Committee members and affiliated regional groups. Motions at an SGM can only be passed by a majority of two-thirds.

15. No alterations of the Constitution shall be made except at the AGM or at a SGM called for that purpose. Alterations can only be passed by a majority of two-thirds.

16. Should an elected office fall vacant, the Steering Committee may fill that vacancy either from among their number until the next AGM or by calling a SGM for the purpose of holding an election.

17. The Treasurer shall keep an account of all income and expenditure and shall submit accounts, duly audited, to the AGM. The Campaign’s financial year ends on March 31. Two auditors who are not members of the Committee shall be appointed annually at the AGM to audit the next year’s accounts. Audited accounts shall be communicated to supporters at least two weeks before the AGM.

18. The bank account shall be in the name of the Campaign. The following rules for the signature of cheques shall be followed by the elected Officers (Chairperson, Vice Chairperson, Treasurer, Secretary):
a. less than £100: one signature;
b. more than £100 but less than £500: two signatures; and
c. more than £500: three signatures.

19. The Steering Committee shall be open to requests for funding from all supporters and from individuals and groups within the network and shall decide how the money shall be spent.

20. Steering Committee members work on a voluntary basis and receive no payment other than reimbursement of expenses expressly agreed for the execution of their duties. The Steering Committee may establish any standing or temporary committees, sub-committees or panels that it considers appropriate.

21. On the dissolution of the Campaign, the distribution of any assets remaining (after satisfying any debts and liabilities) shall be decided by the supporters.
3 This is the minimum number of members of the assembly that must be present at a meeting in order to make the proceedings valid.
