ONLINE PETITION: Depict the WTC Flag Raising as it Actually Occurred! (Corrected Link)
PetitionOnline ^ | January 15, 2001 | Jeff Head

Here is an online petition to Depict the WTC Flag Raising as it Actually Occurred!

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

SIGN THIS PETITION

The only petition on that site that I've seen with more signatures is the one that Oppose's the Federal Marriage Amendment. It signed by gay activists and leftist's. It has 289,000 signatures, but it took 7 months to get that far.

And, if they operate their petitions like they do their ballots, well, you've heard the expression, "dead men walking"?

Thanks guys. This is fabtastic and humbling all at the same time.

I've been off line here for the last several hours. Had quite the snow storm here in SQ IDaho today and have been out checking on friends, families and what not ... as well as spending some quality time with the family. Figured it would hit 50K late but it got there sooner than I thought.

It's heart warming to read most of those comments.

We have to absolutely BURY this liberal/marxist/stalinist/maoist notion that history can be re-written to suite political correctnes or agendas of any kind. Truth is indespinsable to freedom and fee will choice ... to liberty ... to our Republic as it was meant to exist. We have to fight such notions tooth and nail. Keep the sigs coming!

Right you are! Six feet of dirt almost seems too good for this brand of sewage.

Heard on the news last night, the people responsible are thinking about putting the idea on ice for a while, saying maybe it's too soon.......... want to bet they are hoping people will forget, then they will spring the monument on everybody in a few months.......... the politically correct version of course.

They're on the run and we can't let up. They are mistaken if they think we will forget.

When it comes to 911 ... NEVER FORGET!

Congratulations and thank you Jeff!

Signatures are coming in at 12 per minute at the moment. The support is from the entire country and more (ironically, the 50,000th signature was a Brit). It appears that a higher percent is now coming in from New York. And, that’s good. The PC politicians need to feel the heat locally.

I love many of those NYC comments.

Hopefully, the planners/politicians/officials will listen to their constituency. Backlash against their plans is broad based and from all points on the spectrum.
