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.

Thanks for the kind words Jeff.
Coming from you they mean a lot.
Sure am glad we got to meet in person at Klamath.
Hope we meet again some day (under better circumstances).

Wow!

5.56mm

[Jeff Head]

Sometime late this month, or early next, before I go out on another consulting job that is liable to take me away for a few months ... I am heading over to Klamath to spend a day or two at the headgates by myself ... just contemplating and giving my thanks to God in my own way without all the fanfare.

I'll let you and a few others know when that is.

[Jeff Head]

It was simple amazing. Something I never expected in the least. Literally took on a life of its own.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks ... as always ... for the fireworks and all of the support!

BUMP

"WTC Flag Raising & Memorial Petition surpasses 400,000"

WOW!! This is wonderful. Thank You for all your hard work Jeff Head. As I have mentioned before, I was in the first 1000 and to see the numbers add up is incredible!

[firewalk]

Congratulations!

[Jeff Head]

It is incredible. It took on a life of its own, and with the help of many people like yourself ... it just kept growing.

I'm glad we turned this one back ... we need more wins and it just takes us getting involved and sticking with it.

Same was true in Klamath.

Thanks again and best regards!

[Jeff Head]

Thanks. I'm glad the revisionist statue was able to be turned aside.

Thank you for the 'fireworks', Victoria.

[Victoria Delsoul]

You're welcome!

[VaMarVet]

Way to go Jeff! Also, congrat's on FReeper of the Year and for your kind words on the Patriots Rally for America thread. Bravo Zulu my friend.

[Beach_Babe]

Great news! Thanks for the update.

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks for the ping! Congratulations to Jeff and all who have signed his petition to stop the re writing of history from become a perverted PC/Diversity mantra.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks. I meant every word of it. I was rivetted by your accounts and know that scuh situations can quickly become dnagerous.

The willingness of patriots to stand for truth in spite of those dangers and in spite of the odds is what preserves us as a people as their faith in what is right and their faith in God is answered.

I salute you and all who stood in that breech on Saturday.

Whether the media reports it or not ... there were several hundred of you there who saw it and felt it I know ... and from there the commitment and feeling will continue to spread. There were also likely many hundreds who witnessed it, perhaps even some of your adversaries wo will not forget it either and who will be touched by it ... count on it ... I have seen this principle many times in action myself.

Finally, I know that there was One who witnessed it who will not forget and who will count it towards our progress in the fight to restore our COnstitutional Republic.

SO, I say, from the bottom of my heart ... thank you and God bless you all for it. I just wish I could have been there on that side of the country with you.

[Jeff Head]

You're welcome ... and thanks for all of your efforts on the threads and behind the scenes!

It is folks like yourself, and all those who were involved with this project in so many ways all over this nation, that confirms to my heart the assurance that our nation will perservere!

[Jeff Head]

stop the re writing of history from become a perverted PC/Diversity mantra Amen Grampa ... and that is exactly what they wanted ... knwoing full well IMHO, at least those instigating it, that it would do nothing but weaken us before our enemies.

They use countless "useful idiots" like those we saw on Saturday on TV in DC (whom our very own stood so resolutely against) to advance their destructive and dangerous agendas.

[Grampa Dave]

Everyday, I become more amazed and proud of our real conservatives on Free Republic who know the difference between Right and Wrong and then do something that is right!

When our DC group picketed Goron's home after the election and demanded that he move out, that was great. When that same group picketed the ChiCom Embassy in DC after our surveilance plane was knocked out of the air, it really upset the ChiComs. Your stand for our Klamath Basin sisters and brothers and the Save the History re the Flag Raising, petition are two more proud of examples of real conservatives in action. Those who love America and will make it better and not destroy it!

At out "March for Liberty" for two years running in October of 1999 and 2000 I met some of those fine DC FReeper activists. My hat is off to them all as I stated to Dave above. They are doing much to advance the cause of liberty and to help bring about the restoration of our Constitutional Republic IMHO ... and the spirit of it, and the occurances of it are spreading.

May that spirit and those occurances literally cover the land and bury those whose agenda is nothing short of the destruction of the consitituion, our Republic (and all that it is supposed to be based upon) and ultimately our liberty.

Best regards and God's best to you and yours in the fights you are waging there.

"We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other."- John Adams, Oct. 11, 1798

"[N]either the wisest constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt. He therefore is the truest friend of the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen onto any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man." Samuel Adams

"Bad men cannot make good citizens. It is when a people forget God that tyrants forge their chains. A vitiated state of morals, a corrupted public conscience, is incompatible with freedom. No free government, or the blessings of liberty, can be preserved to any people but by a firm adherence to justice, moderation, temperance, frugality, and virtue; and by a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles." Patrick Henry

"No country upon earth ever had it more in its power to attain blessings. Much to be regretted indeed would it be, were we to depart from the road which Providence has pointed us to, so plainly; I cannot believe it will ever come to pass. The Great Governor of the Universe has led us too long and too far to forsake us in the midst of it. We may, now and then, get bewildered; but I hope and trust that there is good sense and virtue enough left to recover the right path. " - George Washington

I am thankful and humbled to have met many hundreds and hundreds of people over the last few years who understand these principles and are putting them into action on behalf of our Republic.
