9/11 Family? Fighter fighter? Policeman? Outraged about the phony media outrage? Click here!

Fight back!

If you don't already know, the "outrage" over President Bush's ad was orchestrated and staged by the Democrats. 

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1091858/posts

. . . in the end, we don't really have heartfelt outrage by a few victims' family members, we have a concerted, coordinated political campaign, cloaked in a shroud of mourning, waging war against George W. Bush in his bid for reelection. I think we all should be completely outraged as the Democrat's use of this tactic as one of the lowest, most vile examples of disgraceful political gamesmanship in modern history.

Now all the pieces are coming together. You see, as these "outraged" family members were touring the airwaves, there was a peculiar familiary to their comments. Despite being on numerous different media outlets in different cities at different time, most of them repeated the same four or fives lines - VERBATIM. The Democrat talking points certainly found their way to the fax machines last night, didn't they?

Here is what you can do.  We already have email and "Letter to the Editor" campaigns going, but what the papers and networks need is to hear your outrage.  And, if you are a member of a 9/11 family, a fire fighter, a police, you also need to tell them that YOU want YOUR voice to be heard in support of President Bush and that these Democrat, leftist shills don't represent you.

So, please call them!  Flood their voicemails!  Demand justice!

The New York Times: (212) 556-7652

The New York Post: (212) 930-8000

ABC: 212-456-7777

CBS: 212-975-4321

NBC: 212-664-4444

Call them TODAY.  Don't delay.  Call them all.  Tell your friends.  Demand justice.  This is not something that can merely by put off 'till tomorrow.

Our last calling campaign to the LA Times over their hit pieces against Arnold resulted in negative news stories about the LA Times and thousands of cancellations.  It can work again.

Outraged?  Do something about it now!

So we can keep track of approximately how many calls have gone out, please ping us after you call.  Lurker?  Get a FReep name and post for the first time.

Tell us about your phone conversations with the above media entities.

Now, hop to it!!!

LOL!!!

Could you post some websites talking about this.
It's not even on Drudge.

Really- it could make my day.

[Conspiracy Guy]

The calls will be made. Thanks for the ping. I'll post my poem from yesterday here.

We Remember

We saw the look upon his face,
Through whispers he was told.
We knew he felt just what we felt,
We wouldn’t sit here cold.
We knew this time that we would act,
And not just turn our head.
This time we’d go and we’d go big,
We wouldn’t bomb some shed.
He called them faceless cowards,
He vowed we'll hunt them down.
We watched as he spoke to us all,
Sincerely, not some clown.
His eyes assured us he’d not rest,
Until they paid the price.
Yes we’d turn over every stone,
Until they were on ice.
He warned the battle would be long,
That many would forget.
That some would say, let’s just move on,
Not him, his mind was set.
We backed him then, we back him now,
The fight must still go on.
We can’t back down, we can’t let up,
Until the threat is gone.
God Bless our troops as on they fight,
Each day for them we pray.
We thank them all, for all they do,
“They are the best”, we say.
We will support our President,
He’s proven he will stand.
We’ll vote for Bush this coming fall,
We will protect this land.

Really need your ping list here, RM!

"Your headline: Fighter Fighter. Did you mean Fire Fighter?"

I didn't even notice that before reading your post. When I read the headline my brain automatically interpreted the typo as "Fire Fighter". Must be because I make so many typos of my own...

For the Tides stories press here.

JM, I want you to know something:

In all of the barracks bull sessions my kids have been having, one thread is common - that we as troops will return home successful and victorious, only to find our republic in ruins and tatters.

By your actions, and those of other FReepers, you're helping to hold back a tide which has been lapping at our boots, fighting at home even as we prep for the fight abroad.

Our gratitude, for your vigilance.

SARGE

[jmstein7]

That means a lot to me.

Thank you, and god bless!

[jmstein7]

Sarge,

As a soldier, would you mind sending some angry letters to the papers, news outlets, etc.? You have "gravitas".

:)

[Old Sarge]

There's only one problem.

While we have a whole raft of guys who are firebrand conservatives (and a few Libertarians), and we discourse in the billets, we are STRONGLY discouraged from showing any activism in public.

This is because, as soldiers, it makes the image of government egtting involved in civil liberties - or some such nonsense. We're suposed to be "above the fray", as it were.

All that aside, we still vote. But that's silent. You folks are our voices, because we can't advocate for ourselves.

[Trteamer]

I just saw on C-SPAN that MBNA is withdrawing a credit card featuring the picture of the firefighters raising the flag amid the rubble of the twin towers.

The picture is supposedly now offensive to the families of the victims.

I am speechless.

And who is this survivors group "9-11 families for a Peaceful Tomorrow"?

Aww - phooey on them -

The real name of the outfit is September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows

And from all appearances it is a fund-raising front for the Tides Center (EIN 94-3213100) of San Francisco - and "Peaceful Tomorrows" doesn't try to hide that they are affiliated on their contribute page. I know some Freepers are familiar with the Tides Center, and for those who are not, it is a non-profit organization that rakes in fairly big bucks ($63+ mill in FY 2002, which included $5+ mill in Government grants) to distribute out grants and allocations to various and sundry "social" projects and causes, with left-wing groups getting decent cuts of the action - they consistently lay out a good bit of change to anti-second amendment groups, for instance. September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows doesn't appear to be necessarily autonomous from the Tides Center. Interestingly, the P.O. box listed on the "Peaceful Tomorrows" site shares the same location address and zip in the neighborhood with such notable organizations as The New Formulation: an Anti-Authoritarian Review of Books (a biannual journal examining the value of recent publications to the development of contemporary anarchist theory and politics), Institute for Anarchist Studies, Radical Magick (an "Eclectic Ceremonial Based Magick Group"), South Asian AIDS Action, Lesbian and Gay Labor Network, Dyke Action Machine! or DAM! - not that there's anything wrong with that (in Jerry Seinfeld voice). The Fellowship of Reconciliation website that is also mentioned on "Peaceful Tomorrows" contribute page says it all - offices in Wash. DC and also San Francisco.

Though they may splash New York this and New York that all around, "Peaceful Tomorrows" is created and based in Oakland California, founded and directed by Barry Amundson and sister-in-law Kelly Campbell, with the web technical matters being handled by Steve Simitzis of Saturn5 Productions in San Francisco, which has an apparent mission statement of providing web consulting and "hosting for artists, online communities, activist organizations"


Amundson is Designer and IT manager for the San Francisco branch of Fenton Communications, a "public interest communications" company that has offices in Washington DC, New York NY and San Francisco.

They have a rather interesting list of clientele that include -

MoveOn.org
People For the American Way
Nelson Mandela - Presidential Election
Greenpeace
Ben and Jerry's
Rock the Vote (which is also a "top five" paid contractor for the Tides Center)

Can probe here for the whole listing.





Here's a bit from lengthy LA Times article about what they do and the crowd they hang with - I think the Moderators won't have a cow over this excerpt -

October 1, 2002
Operation: Peace
Antiwar movement reflects a different America than in past eras, but diverse allies keep the spirit alive.
By REED JOHNSON, TIMES STAFF WRITER


"We want to poison your mind," teases the woman with slate-colored hair outside First Baptist Church in Koreatown. Swathed in natural fibers and sporting an anti-Dubya button, she's minding a table piled high with books, pamphlets and stickers decrying the sorry state of the planet--wars, corporate malfeasance, environmental disasters-in-the-making, and so on--along with half a dozen copies of the revolutionary rabble-rousings of Chairman Mao.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

But the rally's emotional climax occurred when Kelly Campbell and Barry Amundson, members of September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, a group composed of relatives of 9/11 victims, embraced beneath a giant video screen where images of the burning twin towers had flashed by moments earlier. Barry Amundson, 32, is the brother of Craig Amundson, a 28-year-old Army multimedia specialist who was killed when the hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon; Campbell is his sister-in-law. Both were in Los Angeles to voice their conviction that the response to last year's attacks on New York and Washington shouldn't be more mangled bodies and grieving relatives.
