The Petition to New York City regarding the Firefighter Memorial
protesting the originally proposed Ground Zero Flag Raising Statue and seeking that any future plans for a memorial be non-political and historically correct, has surpassed the 400,000 signature mark. It now stands at:
400,001 Signatures
We will keep this petition going until it is clear that future plans for the memorial are not politcally driven and are not revisionist. That being the case, please continue to point others towards the petition site at:
http://www.petitiononline.com/flgraise/
to sign and forward the petition on to all they know.
We are winning this fight since the original statue has been cancelled and other plans to date appear not to be political or revisionist.
In as much as the attention and notice has dropped way off due to the cancellation of the originally planned revisionist statue, and since the signature rate has fallen dramtically off ... this will be the last post regarding this subject ... short of new revisionist plans of course.

I would ask those freepers who have been expending so much time and effort on this worthy cause to please consider, now that it has wound down signifcantly, to apply those efforts to other worthy causes of your choice that may need more urgent attention. Of course, you can find an abundance of them right here on FR. God bless you each.

God bless and Semper Fi!
They are the ones who made these kind of numbers possible.
Those folks at the "Patriot Rally" on the mall today were doing the same work in the face of ten's of thousands of folks who have been deluded and turned into useful idiots for our enemies. My hat is off to those patriots ... many of them Freepers, who stood in that breach today.
We just have to keep educating, keep getting involved, keep working, keep praying and keep looking for ways to spread those sentiments.
What a GREAT site you have put together! I had never waited for it all to load and gone through the whole thing before today.
OUTSTANDING!
My hat is completely off to the work that has gone into to that and the good I know it is doing.
Thanks for everything, Jeff. I'll take your advice and move on to a more 'pressing' cause--
FOR GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA
However, I assume 'withdrawal' will have me making periodic peeks at, and updates to, 'THE PETITION'
An getting rid of that marxist that California has for a governor is a PRESSING need, warranting mucho attention.
God bless!
