To:  The New York City Council, The New York City Fire Department

We the undersigned citizens of the United States, and concerned citizens from other nations, hereby petition the New York City Fire Department and the City of New York as follows regarding the proposed statue depicting the raising of the US flag at ground zero of the WTC attack by firefighters on September 11, 2001.

1. Immediately change the proposed statue or replace it, such that the actual events of the flag raising are accurately depicted to show those firemen who actually raised the flag doing so. Use the famous picture, shown below, of the flag raising to acurately depict the flag raising as it occurred.

2. Cease all efforts to modify the historical record of that day in any way, shape, or form that would promote a so called "culutural diversity" or "politically correct" agenda of any type and simply present events as they occurred accurately for rising generations.

This event is of great historical significance and has united the American people like no other. The only hope for future generations to avoid and/or counter similar events is for the historical record to be accurate. The only way to continue the unification created by those horrible events is to present them accurately and truthfully. To do otherwise will only promote disunity and aide the cause of our enemies.

One might just as well try and depict the terrorist animals who perpetrated these attacks and those who aided and abetted them as choir boys and peace loving pacifists as to depict the heroic events of that flag raising as something other than what they were. The fact is, those enemies who attacked this nation were cruel, grossly evil and perverted in their actions and deserving of a harsh and just retribution for what they did. Thousand of innocent American and other lives were lost due to the twisted religious and ideological ravings of those whe pepretrated the attacks, thousands who were innocent of any crime other than trying to live their lives in freedom and peace.

The fact is also that the events regarding the flag raising occurred as they did, without any thought to political correctness or cultural diversity. At that moment, the only thought was patriotism to our nation and devotion to the duty of helping the victims. To depict it in any other manner sullies an historical and a heroic act, and descrates hallowed ground. The American people will not stand for it.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned

FallGuy and I signed. I am still waiting to hear back from the emails I sent. But they could still sign the petition and I not know yet.

This is soooo important.

[kayak]

You are so right, Snow Bunny. The fact that in the past we have sat back and let things happen is why political correctness has reached the stage it has now. We must start standing up for what is right!

Thanks for the ping, Jeff. And for circulating this petition. Signed, and commented:

Truth no longer matters to many of those in positions to create such a memorial. They view such a meaningful act (as the spontaneous raising of the American flag over the rubble that was the Twin Towers) simply as an opportunity to cram their 'celebrate diversity' agenda down our throats. If those who raised the flag on that fateful day were indeed minorities, then by all means depict them as such. If they were not, then don't degrade those whose patriotic, inspiring actions you are (supposedly) attempting to honor by removing them from the re-enactment, and substituting politically correct 'doubles.' American History (either that of two hundred plus years ago, or that of four months ago) must not be revised by sacrificing it on the altar of political correctness.

Joanie, as always your words ring clear and true.

Those who would undo our republic and our liberties in favor of their so called "culturally divers" and "politically correct" ideology and desires know they must destroy our history and the principles which have underpinned it in order to accomplish the aims of those for whom they toll such an unisnpiring, deceitful and dishonorable bell.

As the scriptures tell us, we should be very wary and understand that we are being led on a fools erand when we follow after a trumpet that makes an unclear sound.

What such "useful idiots" always fail to understand, and the hisrtorical precedent is clear on this, is that when those whom amass the power to themselves are complete with their task and feel they have destroyed those who understand the heritage we seek to preserve ... they will discard these "useful idiots" as so much dross.

To my dying breath I am unalterably fixed on seeing that that heritage is never destroyed, but that it stands resplendant as a shining city up to the darkness and wickedness in hiogh places ... I am convinced that we need not numbers ... we need resolve and faith and a firm moral conviction and foundation upon which we shall stand against thier efforts ... we have an ally who will provide the rest in His own due time.
