PLEASE HELP US GET THIS VIRAL FAST!
All of you in attendance at Ground Zero for the 9/11/11 Memorial Service.
When Mayor Bloomberg begins to speak let “Amazing Grace” FILL THE AIR”
The Mayor can keep our Clergy out, but he can’t keep ALL those in attendance from singing.
EVEN IF YOU HUM ALONG JUST DO THIS!!!
“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me….
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T’was Grace that taught…
my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear…
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares…
we have already come.
T’was Grace that brought us safe thus far…
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me…
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be…
as long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
a life of joy and peace.
When we’ve been here ten thousand years…
bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise…
then when we’ve first begun.
“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me….
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
I hope for widespread defiance of the Dictator of New York City.
That would be sweet - I can’t stand that arrogant pipsqueak.
May God be with you all. Wish I could be there.
Let me see this on TV, please!
I’d prefer the Battle Hymn of the Republic, myself. It’s more defiant.
Needs a leader
It would make me so proud of New Yorkers if they did and lifted the roof off of NYC. They’ve been through so much. How dare government hacks not allow them the comfort of a prayer from a member of the clergy. Or not have the first responders there, or even have an invite-only event.
Or... everyone in Bloomberg’s audience could do what the people in our town did after they were forbidden to pray before football games. The principal, Jody McLeod, gave his now-famous speech about the ridiculous ban, after which the entire stadium stood up and recited The Lord’s Prayer.
His speech:
This is a statement that was read over the PA system at the football game at Roane County High School, Kingston, Tennessee, by school Principal, Jody McLeod.
“It has always been the custom at Roane County High School football games, to say a prayer and play the National Anthem, to honor God and Country.”
Due to a recent ruling by the Supreme Court, I am told that saying a Prayer is a violation of Federal Case Law. As I understand the law at this time, I can use this public facility to approve of sexual perversion and call it “an alternate lifestyle,” and if someone is offended, that’s OK.
I can use it to condone sexual promiscuity, by dispensing condoms and calling it, “safe sex.” If someone is offended, that’s OK.
I can even use this public facility to present the merits of killing an unborn baby as a “viable means of birth control.” If someone is offended, no problem…
I can designate a school day as “Earth Day” and involve students in activities to worship religiously and praise the goddess “Mother Earth” and call it “ecology.”
I can use literature, videos and presentations in the classroom that depicts people with strong, traditional Christian convictions as “simple minded” and “ignorant” and call it “enlightenment.”
However, if anyone uses this facility to honor GOD and to ask HIM to Bless this event with safety and good sportsmanship, then Federal Case Law is violated.
This appears to be inconsistent at best, and at worst, diabolical. Apparently, we are to be tolerant of everything and anyone, except GOD and HIS Commandments.
Nevertheless, as a school principal, I frequently ask staff and students to abide by rules with which they do not necessarily agree. For me to do otherwise would be inconsistent at best, and at worst, hypocritical
I suffer from that affliction enough unintentionally. I certainly do not need to add an intentional transgression.
For this reason, I shall “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s,” and refrain from praying at this time.
“However, if you feel inspired to honor, praise and thank GOD and ask HIM, in the name of JESUS, to Bless this event, please feel free to do so. As far as I know, that’s not against the law—-yet.”
One by one, the people in the stands bowed their heads, held hands with one another and began to pray.
They prayed in the stands. They prayed in the team huddles. They prayed at the concession stand and they prayed in the Announcer’s Box!
I love this idea.
Fixed. :)
Please everyone do this for Americans. Bloomberg has turned this Memorial into a Memorial to HIS POWER.
Please show him this is NOT about him.
What is it with the power mad control freak dwarfs in this country???
If prayers are outlawed, onlyh outlwas will pray.
Guess I’m an outlaw now. They will never stop me from honoring God in anyway I see fit.
LOL
VERY LOUD PRAYER, .. The Lord's Prayer ... Reciting the 23rd psalm ... and/or the 1st.
I can't be there, but I would be a loud voice trying to get those around me to join in.
bttt
Now don’t toy with our emotions.
The thought of that little putz vapor locking.
I do not wish him dead or incapacitated, just his central nervous system doing a “reboot” complete with the resulting “loss of control”...
