Goldman Sachs, Rothschilds, Krongard and Others' Responsible for September 11 Are Behind Ground Zero Mosque. Why? Keeps Myth Alive that Arabs are Guilty for September 11 and Protects Themselves and Other Real 911 Perpetrators - Hillary and Admiral Mullen Lie When they Tell Us bin Laden Alive in Pakistan
If you were lazy, common, blackmail able, hate America, a communi$t, enjoy evil, know NYC is in real trouble without stock markets, can't compete fairly, making War on the United States is the only way you can make a living, and will do anything for a buck and you knew your economic scams were coming to an end, what would you do? Some in America fitting this description, particularly Goldman Sachs and their sister corporation the Federal Reserve, pushed the peddle to the metal, multiplied the economic scams and had bombs placed in three NYC World Trade buildings, brought them down and blamed their lame flimflam on Arabs. All thinking people realize September 11 was made in America and the Arabs are patsies. The people would know this except for the fact the bad guys are cowards, own big media, and tell them not to come clean of 911. One thing the communi$t$ did not figure in their Project, Make War on America - As the economy slows so does the money moving to their media, propaganda, outlets. Every true American should refuse to hand over as much as a dime to the media owned by the Rothschilds and bad guys.
Just as the bad guys manipulated September 11, they are cleverly making sure Arab responsibility for September 11 is forever left un questioned by facilitating the building of the Ground Zero mosque. Bloomberg defends Ground Zero mosque as freedom-of-faith issue . Its also a Goldman get out of jail free card. May 29, 2010, "In his fiercest defense yet of the mosque proposed near Ground Zero, Mayor Bloomberg declared yesterday that it must be allowed to proceed" ... Mayor Bloomberg went on to say the government "shouldn't be in the business of picking" one religion over another. Another important reason for his support of the Ground Zero mosque is Mayor Bloomberg, logic dictates, has buddies at Goldman Sachs who are in on September 11 and if the mosque keeps them out of trouble for bombing the WTC buildings and helps the NYC economy then Bloomberg supports the Ground Zero mosque. Bloomberg says the US financed mosque will help NYC economy but I doubt it will do so more than whatever else would be built on the purposed mosque site. Rothschilds propaganda protocol calls for whipping up public hatred of Arabs before an Arab killing spree. This year's Rosh Hashanah surprise may comprise the nuking of Iran. Although most Iranians are not Arabs, the Ground Zero mosque should help the bad guys justify nuking Iran. Why would the US government or the US shadow government finance the mosque? It wants to keep the blame for their dirty deeds clearly pointed at Arabs. What better way to do that than finance a mosque that keeps the flame of their deception alive.
Through the years I have found taking a look at lies is important even if the motive for the lies is hidden. Hillary Clinton and Admiral Mullen have both said bin Laden is alive when all thinking people know bin Laden is dead. The question becomes why are Admiral Mullen and Hillary lying to us bin Laden is alive when in fact bin Laden is dead? Talking up bin Laden as alive keeps alive the US military wars in the Mid east. Customarily powers tout the bin Laden is alive lie when they seek money to kill Arabs or justify an eminent military operation against Arabs.
In my opinion its important to take a look at world events which take place around the time of Rosh Hashanah. It is the Jewish New Year and a time for setting plans for the next year. Initial actions, some dramatic, must accompany Rosh Hashanah resolutions for them to have a chance of materializing over the next year. Come to think of it, the Ground Zero mosque project actually fits a Rosh Hashanah New Year resolution. It is declared before the world. Bloomberg is behind it as well as Goldman Sachs and those responsible for September 11. We sent Russians home so logic dictates big time dirty deeds are brewing. More environmental disasters? Goldman Sachs and the communi$t$ will never give up on Cap and Trade. It means too much money for them. The power to tax is the power to destroy. A carbon tax will destroy the USA - the goal of Goldman and the communi$t$. The communi$t$' want their National Biometric ID card so what type of disaster facilitates this? Blackwater in Mexico has started using IEDs. Columbia and the US attack Venezuela in a shot heard around the world? Mexico is 99 % Christian and there is no bigger sin than self destruction. The Rothschilds and Goldman are jealous of Christianity. Authoring a suicide bombing of a Catholic Church in Mexico would bring them great joy. Wikileaks has hurt the communi$t$ so murdering Julian Assange may be in the making. Goldman laid on us the economic meltdown scheme Rosh Hashanah 2008 sending Goldman trillions more of their beloved government welfare. Goldman may be up for another batch of government welfare this election year and gerrymander a Rosh Hashanah "to die for" economic treat for themselves. Let's see. This year Rosh Hashanah is September 8 . A little more than a month away. We are definitely in the cross hairs of Rosh Hashanah Resolves. Of course, many Jewish people are good and pray for peace and are angered by and rightfully fear Rosh Hashanah dirty deeds. The Rothschilds are responsible for the Holocaust I and will be responsible for Holocaust II, and rank and file Jewish people know and fear this.
Today July 30, 2010 as I post this article Huffingtonpost.com posts the article 9/11 Responder Aid Package Fails In House. Of course many of the September 11 First Responders are sick as dogs because bombs brought down the buildings and emitted some sort of radiation that infected the brave Americans responding to danger. The Americans are sick and need help. However, it does anger me the American people are not being told the truth. Actually sick as a dog First Responders reveal beyond doubt bombs were placed in the buildings. In my opinion the USA should acknowledge bombs brought down the WTC buildings and the USA should give medical help to the sick First Responders.
Also in articles posted today Admiral Mullen Mullen: WikiLeaks’ Assange May Have Blood on His Hands and Secretary of Defense Gates attack Wikileaks Gates Won’t Rule Out Targeting Assange, Media in Leak Investigation for revealing the fact the United States is financing the Taliban which is killing our brave soldiers. Boy Mullen's engaging in the pot calling the kettle black. Assange has blood on his hands? What about all the brave American soldier blood Admiral Mullen has on his hands for allowing US taxpayer money sent to the Taliban which is used to kill our brave soldiers? Mr. Gates says its within the US's rights to murder Julian Assange. All this smack of the United States beyond morally bankrupt. Actually the American people are living in a lawless country in which our leaders are making war on the USA and killing everyone who crosses them. All this reminds me of one of my early posts which is tied to why I write as I do.
"In Germany, the nazis first came for the communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, but I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me...By that time there was no one to speak up for anyone." Unknown 2-14-07 Today I read this and its writing is attributed to Martin Niemoeller on the German descent into fascism.
Mullen and Gates would be the first to fault China for expanding its military. But is boils down to this. If the American people won't or can't restrain our leaders, the world must do so. It is not a matter of whether Mullen and Gates and the others making war on the USA kill those who expose them, its when. The nasty tresspassing the USA in such a low fashion guarantees every person on this planet is in harm's way.
Bloomberg defends Ground Zero mosque as freedom-of-faith issue
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/mike_rite_right_M3z4XOjda0JlzbRv0VnxhL
By DAVID SEIFMAN City Hall Bureau Chief
May 29, 2010
In his fiercest defense yet of the mosque proposed near Ground Zero, Mayor Bloomberg declared yesterday that it must be allowed to proceed because the government "shouldn't be in the business of picking" one religion over another.
"I think it's fair to say if somebody was going to try, on that piece of property, to build a church or a synagogue, nobody would be yelling and screaming," the mayor said.
"And the fact of the matter is that Muslims have a right to do it, too."
Placing the proposed mosque two blocks from the World Trade Center site has led to an outcry from opponents, including family members of 9/11 victims, who contend the holy place at 45 Park Place would defile the memories of those who perished in the worst terror attack in US history.
Community Board 1 approved the project Tuesday night by a 29-1 vote after a raucous four-hour hearing in which nine members abstained.
The meeting got so heated that one young girl, whose father is Muslim and mother is Jewish and who went to testify in favor, decided instead to sit silently.
The issue also continues to fuel an intense debate on the Internet. One commenter likened a mosque near Ground Zero to a convent established on the grounds of Auschwitz. Pope John Paul II ordered the nuns to move in 1993 after years of protests from Jewish leaders.
But Bloomberg argued that blocking the 13-story mosque and Islamic cultural center would violate the essence of America.
"What is great about America and particularly New York is we welcome everybody, and if we are so afraid of something like this, what does that say about us?" asked the mayor.
"Democracy is stronger than this. You know the ability to practice your religion was one of the real reasons America was founded. And for us to just say no is just, I think, not appropriate is a nice way to phrase it
". . . If you are religious, you do not want the government picking religions, because what do you do the day they don't pick yours?"
Even with Bloomberg on board, the project still has to win approval of the city's Landmarks Preservation Commission, because the current building on the mosque site dates to 1857-58 and would have to be razed.
The landmark application has been pending since 1989 and was recently reinstated. The commission is scheduled to hold a hearing and a vote in the early summer.
The mosque's proponents say they are prepared to raise $100 million and hope to accommodate up to 1,500 worshippers on Fridays. About 500 people already use the site for prayers.

Repeal Religious Freedom at Ground Zero?
It's wrong to "refudiate" the First Amendment
Steve Chapman | July 22, 2010
Listen to Audio Version (MP3)
http://reason.com/archives/2010/07/22/repeal-religious-freedom-at-gr
Suppose there were a heavily Muslim neighborhood in New York, with mosques, religious schools, and shops with meat prepared according to Islamic dietary rules. Suppose an evangelical church wanted to build a chapel there. And suppose local Muslims tried to block it as a flagrant insult to them.
Would Sarah Palin urge the church to retract this "unnecessary provocation" in the "interest of healing"? Would her followers? Or would they scorn this disparagement of Christianity and champion the religious freedom on which America was built?
You know the answer. But Palin is not a slave to intellectual consistency. Change the church to a mosque, and put it a couple of blocks from the site of the World Trade Center, and she suddenly loses all patience with the rights of religious believers.
This week, she posted Twitter comments urging Muslims and New Yorkers to put a stop to a proposed Islamic community center near Ground Zero because the pain from the 9/11 attacks "is too raw, too real."
The people who live in the vicinity don't seem to agree. The local community board voted 29-1 to approve the project, which would include a swimming pool, gym, child-care center, performing arts space, and other facilities open to the public.
No one objects to putting up other new buildings in the neighborhood. Nor is anyone trying to close down businesses that seem slightly incompatible with the horror that happened there—including a strip club and an off-track betting parlor. The only objection to the Islamic center is that it is Islamic.
For some conservatives, anything Muslim has no place there. When Tea Party Express chairman Mark Williams was forced to resign for writing a racist satire, he said he was stepping down so he could concentrate on fighting the Ground Zero mosque, which he says would honor "the terrorists' monkey god."
A group called the National Republican Trust Political Action Committee says that "to celebrate that murder of 3,000 Americans, they want to build a monstrous 13-story mosque at Ground Zero."
Of course, the "they" who planned and executed the 9/11 attacks are not the same "they" who want to erect this structure. Both groups are made up of Muslims. But associating all Muslims with al-Qaida is like equating all Christians with the Ku Klux Klan.
The number of violent extremists in the American Islamic community is microscopically small. The Federal Bureau of Investigation has reported that of terrorist attacks carried out in the United States between 1980 and 2005, only 6 percent were committed by radical Muslims.
A recent study by researchers at Duke University and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill found one reason the number is so low is that "Muslim religious and community leaders ... consistently condemned political violence in public sermons and private conversations."
Palin's position is hard to reconcile with the reverence she and her fans claim to hold for the framers, who gave the highest protection to religious freedom.
Anti-Muslim groups think Islam cannot be tolerated because it is inherently violent and totalitarian. Most Muslims disagree. But what if it were? The First Amendment guarantees the freedom of all faiths, not just the ones that are peaceful and tolerant.
The delegates to the Constitutional Convention had experience with people whose religions were oppressive—such as 17th century New England Puritans, who executed Quakers for daring to preach in Massachusetts, or Catholics, who burned heretics in Europe. The framers knew religion could be dangerous, and they protected it anyway.
The First Amendment goes beyond protecting mere beliefs. It says, "Congress shall make no law ... prohibiting the free exercise" of religion.
--------
(Page 2 of 2) Listen to Audio Version (MP3)
Free exercise includes the right of the faithful to preach, to worship together, and to construct buildings for those activities. If the Constitution doesn't allow a ban on churches or synagogues at Ground Zero, it doesn't allow a veto for mosques.
As James Madison wrote, "Whilst we assert for ourselves a freedom to embrace, to profess and to observe the religion which we believe to be of divine origin, we cannot deny an equal freedom to those whose minds have not yet yielded to the evidence which has convinced us."
Palin got grief for saying Muslims should "refudiate" the mosque, which raised questions about her command of English. But the real question is: What part of "no law" does she not understand?
Hillary Clinton has said she believes Osama bin Laden is still hidden inside Pakistan
Ben Farmer in Kabul
Published 21 Jul 2010
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/pakistan/7900896/Osama-bin-Laden-hiding-in-Pakistan-says-Clinton.html
The American Secretary of State said she believed the fugitive head of the al Qaeda terrorist network was at large nearly nine years after United States forces helped topple his Taliban hosts in neighbouring Afghanistan.
Speaking before heading to the Kabul International conference, she said: "I believe (bin Laden) is here in Pakistan and it would be very helpful if we could take them (al-Qaeda leaders)." Leon Panetta, head of the CIA, last month said bin Laden remained in "very deep hiding".
The American spy service has maintained bin Laden is alive despite rumours of poor health and a lack of verified sightings or appearances in recent years. Several audio propaganda messages have been released purporting to be from him.
Hamid Karzai, speaking at the conference, said he believed the Taliban leader and founder Mullah Mohammad Omar was also across the border.
He said: "We have known all along that some of the very, very senior leadership of the Taliban were in Pakistan, this is not news to us." He told the conference the Taliban was "a vicious common enemy that violates every Islamic and international norm to break our unity of effort".
Osama bin Laden 'hiding in Pakistan': Admiral Mullen
http://sify.com/news/osama-bin-laden-hiding-in-pakistan-admiral-mullen-news-international-khznuibadhh.html
2010-07-25
US Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen has supported US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's statement about the presence of Osama Bin Laden and other top Al-Qaida leadership in Pakistan.
Addressing media at the US embassy in Islamabad, he said: "I believe Osama is here in Pakistan."
"They are hiding in a very secure place and it is very difficult to trace them," The Daily Times quoted Admiral Mullen, as saying.
He claimed that the tribal belt on Pakistan's western border had become the "global headquarters" for Al Qaeda.
Earlier, during her visit to Pakistan, Clinton had said that she believed Laden was still in Pakistan.
"I believe (bin Laden) is here in Pakistan and it would be very helpful if we could take them (Al-Qaeda leaders)," Clinton had said.
"I assume somebody in this government, from top to bottom, does know where bin Laden is. So, I think we have got to keep pressure on, which we are doing," she added.
The US intelligence agencies have maintained that bin Laden is alive despite rumours of his poor health and a lack of verified sightings or appearances in recent years. (ANI)
Ground Zero Mosque
05/17/2010
Political Correctness: While New York City OKs construction of a "monster mosque" at ground zero, the feds pay rent to a D.C. mosque tied to the Pentagon attack. Have we gone totally soft?
Imagine on the 10th anniversary of Pearl Harbor, we let the Japanese erect a cultural center at the site of that attack. Exactly. It would never happen.
So why are Manhattan officials bowing to demands by a group called the American Society for Muslim Advancement to open — on of all days, Sept. 11, 2011 — a 13-story shrine to Islam in the shadow of the beautiful skyscrapers terrorists turned to ashes in the name of Islam? Why aren't they suggesting they do their Islamic "advancement" someplace else? Why of all places there?
Aren't officials at least curious why these supposedly "patriotic" Muslim activists named their planned $100 million mosque after the Great Mosque of Cordoba — a legacy of Muslim Spain representing the zenith of Islamic dominance?
There may be nothing to it — except that a radical Islamic school in Virginia, raided by the feds after 9/11, also goes by that name. Cordoba University's founder was recently named an unindicted co-conspirator in a terror case. Symbolism is not lost on such jihadists.
New Yorkers should by now have built from that giant hole at ground zero a single, mammoth tower as a one-finger salute to radical Islam and all the terrorists it inspires. Instead, they're building an Islamic tower that Muslim fanatics from around the world will no doubt use as a memorial to their fallen "martyrs" and what they did to us on that "blessed day" of 9/11.
"It's a slap in our face!" said Nelly Braginsky, whose son Alexander was murdered on 9/11.
It's also a monumental sign of weakness. Right now, our enemy is laughing at us. And picture this sickening scenario: 9/11 mastermind KSM getting to see workers breaking ground on the ground zero mosque, as Attorney General Eric Holder escorts him to his Manhattan show trial. If we can't keep even ground zero sacred and free of PC, we truly are doomed to suffer another. And another.
This latest outrage follows one over the Flight 93 National Memorial, which also made a paean to Islam. The original design for the Shanksville, Pa., memorial — called a "Crescent of Embrace" — featured a pathway in the shape of a crescent moon, a prominent symbol in Islam. Only protests from the families of the victims of the flight — downed by Muslim hijackers shouting "Allahu Akbar!" — forced its redesign.
9/11 Responder Aid Package Fails In House
ANDREW MIGA AND DAVID B. CARUSO | 07/29/10
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/29/911-responder-aid-package-fails-house_n_664562.html
WASHINGTON — A bill that would have provided up to $7.4 billion in aid to people sickened by World Trade Center dust fell short in the House on Thursday, raising the possibility that the bulk of compensation for the ill will come from a legal settlement hammered out in the federal courts.
The bill would have provided free health care and compensation payments to 9/11 rescue and recovery workers who fell ill after working in the trade center ruins.
It failed to win the needed two-thirds majority, 255-159. The vote was largely along party lines, with 12 Republicans joining Democrats supporting the measure.
For weeks, a judge and teams of lawyers have been urging 10,000 former ground zero workers to sign on to a court-supervised settlement that would split $713 million among people who developed respiratory problems and other illnesses after inhaling trade center ash.
The court deal shares some similarities with the aid program that the federal legislation would have created, but it involves far less money. Only the most seriously ill of the thousands of police officers, firefighters and construction workers suing New York City over their exposure to the dust would be eligible for a hefty payout.
But supporters of the deal have been saying the court settlement is the only realistic option for the sick, because Congress will never act.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can wait and wait and wait for that legislation ... it's not passing," Kenneth Feinberg, the former special master of the federal 9/11 victim compensation fund, told an audience of ground zero responders Monday in a meeting on Staten Island.
Democratic leaders opted to consider the House bill under a procedure that requires a two-thirds vote for approval rather than a simple majority. Such a move blocked potential GOP amendments to the measure.
A key backer of the bill, U.S. Rep. Peter King, a Long Island Republican, accused Democrats of staging a "charade."
King said Democrats were "petrified" about casting votes as the fall elections near on controversial amendments, possibly including one that could ban the bill from covering illegal immigrants who were sickened by trade center dust.
If Democrats brought it to the floor as a regular bill, King said, it would have passed with majority support.
GOP critics branded the bill as yet another big-government "massive new entitlement program" that would have increased taxes and possibly kill jobs.
To pay the bill's estimated $7.4 billion cost over 10 years, the legislation would have prevented foreign multinational corporations incorporated in tax haven countries from avoiding tax on income earned in the U.S.
Bill supporters said that would close a tax loophole. Republicans branded it a corporate tax increase.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg called the vote an "outrage." He said it was clearly a tactic designed to stall the bill.
"This is a way to avoid having to make a tough decision," Bloomberg said, adding that the nation owes more to "the people who worked down at 9/11 whose health has fallen apart because they did what America wanted them to do."
John Feal, a ground zero demolition worker who has lobbied extensively for the legislation, expressed disgust.
"They pulled the rug out from beneath our feet," Feal said. "Whatever member of Congress vote against this bill, whether Republican or Democrat, should go to jail for manslaughter."
The bill would have provided up to $3.2 billion to cover the medical treatment of people sickened by trade center dust and an additional $4.2 billion for a new fund that would have compensated them for their suffering and lost wages.
The potential promise of a substantial payout from the federal government had caused some ground zero workers to balk at participating in the proposed legal settlement, which would resolve as many as 10,000 lawsuits against the city.
Initially, the bill would have prohibited people from participating in the new federal compensation program if they had already been compensated for their injuries through a lawsuit, but a change was made in recent days eliminating that restriction.
Nevertheless, with the House rejecting the bill and no vote scheduled on a similar Senate version, it appears almost guaranteed that there will be no new federal law by Sept. 8, the date by which ground zero workers involved in the lawsuits must decide whether to accept the settlement offer.
Under the terms of the deal, 95 percent of those workers must say yes for the court settlement to take effect.
The compensation system set up by the court would make payments ranging from $3,250 for people who aren't sick but worry they could fall ill in the future to as much as $1.5 million to the families of people who have died. Nonsmokers disabled by severe asthma might get between $800,000 and $1 million.
About 25 percent of the money would go to pay legal fees. Contested claims would be heard by Feinberg, who would act as an appeals officer.
Researchers have found that thousands of New Yorkers exposed to trade center dust are now suffering from breathing difficulties similar to asthma. Many have also complained of heartburn or acid reflux, and studies have shown that firefighters who worked on the debris pile suffer from elevated levels of sarcoidosis, an inflammatory disease.
Many of the workers also fear that the dust is giving people cancer, although scientific studies have failed to find evidence of such a link.
The exact number of sick is unclear. Nearly 15,900 people received treatment last year through medical programs set up to treat Sept. 11-related illnesses, but doctors say many of those people suffered from conditions that are common in the general public.
The House bill is named for James Zadroga, a police detective who died at age 34. His supporters say he died from respiratory disease contracted at ground zero, but New York City's medical examiner said Zadroga's lung condition was caused by prescription drug abuse.

Jewish activists support "ground zero mosque"
http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2010/08/05/jewish_activists_support_ground_zero_mosque/index.html
Philadelphia-based Shalom Center is among leaders vocally opposing the Anti-Defamation League
BY MARC BEJA, ASSOCIATED PRESS
A group of Jewish activists and community leaders voiced their support for a planned mosque near ground zero and said opponents, including the nation's leading Jewish civil rights group, are perpetuating misunderstandings about Islam.
Rabbi Arthur Waskow, of the Philadelphia-based Shalom Center, joined about 30 other religious leaders and Jewish activists Thursday at the spot where the Cordoba Initiative hopes to build an Islamic center that will include a mosque, an athletic center, a culinary school and art studios. Waskow says the mosque will help people learn more about Islam.
"Whenever there has been bloodshed allegedly in the name of one tradition or another, it's necessary to say, 'That's not what that tradition is about,'" Waskow, 76, said. "The Cordoba Initiative will keep saying that is not what Islam is about."
The mosque and community center would be located two blocks from the site of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. SoHo Properties, a partner in the effort, purchased the property for nearly $5 million. Early plans call for a 13-story, $100 million Islamic center, of which the mosque would be a part.
Big-name Republicans including former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich have criticized the plan, saying it is provocative for a mosque to be built so close to a spot where Islamic terrorists killed thousands. Former Rep. Rick Lazio, a Republican running for governor of New York, has questioned where funding for the project is coming from.
The Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights group known for advocating religious freedom, also opposes the project.
"This is not a question of rights, but a question of what is right," the ADL said in a statement. "In our judgment, building an Islamic center in the shadow of the World Trade Center will cause some victims more pain -- unnecessarily -- and that is not right."
Waskow, an anti-war activist who has criticized Israel and lobbied for an independent Palestinian state, said he was disappointed by the ADL's opposition of the Islamic center.
"I was really surprised that the Anti-Defamation League opened the door to that kind of hatred," he said. "That door must be closed gently and firmly."
On Wednesday, a conservative advocacy group sued to try to stop the project.
At the rally Thursday, the Jewish leaders prayed, sang and presented housewarming gifts to Daisy Khan, a co-founder of the Cordoba Initiative. They said hundreds of people have signed on online statement in support of the mosque.
Khan said the center "will be dedicated to peace, tolerance and mutual understanding," but would not discuss how the center will be paid for. She thanked the plan's supporters, including New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. A city community board also voted overwhelmingly last spring to back the project, and Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick has also said he supports it.
