VIEW SIGNATURES   ----------   SIGN THE PETITION

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

Still growing rapidly.

Hopefully 10,000 TODAY!

[Jeff Head]

Outstanding and thank you each for the support and work.

We're JUST NOW really taking off. I am going to keep going through the various lists for Firefighters, Paramedics, Firefighter Associations, etc. and emailing them about this. If we continue to pour coal on now, we'll push this thing over the top. We need to break 10,000 today and 50,000 this weekend!

Lofty goals, but a lofty goal gets you up the side of the mountain. View's better up there.

You make so many invalid points....I would say clueless indeed. I don't generally like to point out the "newbie" thing, but in your case, I'll make an exception. Clueless newbie disruptor is my verdict. Is DU down?

An assistant Fire Chief from Virginia at signature 7790:

A Very Concerned Fire Chief - Give credit where credit is due - your concept of changing events amounts to lying - and you are a liar if you let it happen.

When I read stuff like this ... by the hundreds and now by the thousands ... and hopefully soon by the tens of thousands ... I KNOW there is great hope.

[who knows what evil?]

Hopefully 10,000 TODAY!

No doubt about it...the petition is SMOKIN'! BUMP for 10,000! Crank those e-mails!

Sign and a bump!

Did the flag raising actually happen on September 11th, 2001? ... Yes.

Is September 11th, 2001 a date in History? ... Yes.

Was the flag raising an "event" that occurred and took place in time? ... Yes.

Therefore it is an historical event. Your arguement that it is not an historical event is one so blatantly and patently false that it is ludicrous to have to explain such straight forward logic.

Now, I will amdit that to you it may not be an "important" event, or one worthy of a fight. You are entitled to your opinion and like I said, go fight a battle that is important to you. As long as it is honest, sincere, virtuous and defends liberty and the principles the liberty in our Republic rests upon, I will support it, no matter which cause.

Please extend to us the same courtesy.

... and if you cannot, then you are just waisting your time and ours on this thread because we are committed to doing so with this fight irrespective of your opinion.

From signature 8138:

My son is a Paramedic who was one of the first to respond. His friend Billy is one of the firemen who actually raised the flag. The actual men who raised that flag should be honored. A mural can be made honoring the ethnicity of the firemen, police, TA perosnel,EMS and all of the CIVILIANS who helped.

'nuff said.

BTTT!

These guys need to be slapped. They think they can colorize history for shortsighted political purposes, like the Commies airbrushing Trotsky out of photos.

My signature on this was in the teens, and there are now over 8,000! Let's get some more and fight this PC nonsense.

[Jeff Head]

Thanks for the signature and the support in insuring that we depict history as it actually occurred and that we retain the integrity and virtue of the flag raising on that day that captured most of our hearts.

Please forward the petition to as many as you can requesting that they do likewise.

Regards.

[Jeff Head]

Should be repeated:

Let's get some more and fight this PC nonsense.

Amen to that ... Let's get some more! Let's Roll!

You are free to pick your battles ...

FR IS his battle. He ain't worth the time Jeff.
