History IS
Please pass the word on to all you know asking them to sing and pass it on in turn.
107,570 BUMP!
Apparently the people who handle the petition can have it bound.
That makes a lot sense. That way it will be professionally bound, and someone's printers will be saved and a lot of ink cartridges. This will free Jeff to do other tasks with this petition!
Step one, we need to raise $3,000 for the binding of this land mark petition to halt and reverse left wind revisionists from messing with our history!
If 100 of us mail Jeff a check for $30, that will handle this part of our investment in maintaining our history not the PC revisionist history.
I will mail Jeff a check for $30 as soon as I get an address. Jeff let us know how to handle this! What is best for you?! Our checks mailed to your or to an account with those who will be making the copies and binding the first 100,000 signatures.
JohnHuang 2, please ping this to get it started, and the rest of you who have ping lists, please ping your people.
Lets Roll and get the money to Jeff to have these historical signatures bound professionally for present and future generations who want real history!
Remember Grampa Dave's basic principle: "There is no free lunch for conservatives. We pay our way!"
Breakout those check books for the correct history of the flag waving! Invest $30 in preserving our history!
I know this sounds like a lot, and I wish I could pay for it all myself. I did pay for five copies of ten thousand signatures with Klamath and they were about 75.00 per copy after I had spent about 14-16 hours printing off the master from my computer at home using an HP inkjet ... here we have ten times that number to print and to bind.
I'll set up a separate account and let everyone know, but we should certainly contact Jim Robinson before we solicit funds here through FreeRepublic. Grampa, can you cover contacting FR and finding out how we can communicate this?
When we find out where Jeff wants us send our donations. How do we go about it to keep things Kosher here and to have the appropriate publicity to raise the money quickly for to copy and bind this chapter in history?
These 100,000 signatures are proof of how Free Republic with people like Jeff can reverse left wingers and their agendas! It should be great publicity for Free Republic!

I see you're talking about 2 back-up copies of the petition. Considering the costs and the eventual size of this petition, do you think electronic or CD back up might be more efficient? I'd rather use the money for a plane ticket for you to deliver it.
However, a CD could be used as a alternative and for all future signatures!
Maybe Doug from Upland could provide a double header with his CD of song and a CD of the signatures.
The September 11 attacks on America were a tragedy of unimaginable proportions. However, during this terrible time, we have seen the absolute best that humanity can offer.
A heartfelt thank you to all New York City Firefighters and Fire Marshals for your tireless rescue and recovery efforts at the site of the September 11 attack and your extraordinary patience and understanding during these difficult times. In the face of a devastating loss, you upheld the highest traditions of our 125 year history. As others fled, you moved directly towards the danger Without your heroism in the face of horror, many more lives would have been lost. We are extremely proud and grateful for your dedication as well as the efforts of the many retired firefighters who have worked with you.
We also sincerely thank the thousands of others from EMS, FDNY Dispatchers, NYPD, Port Authority Police, the United States Military, Sanitation, the medical profession, iron workers, construction workers, electricians, steamfitters, carpenters, operating engineers, truck drivers, other law enforcement and emergency workers from all over the world, as well as all ceremonial Personnel and the Fire Dept. Pipe Band for their unique offering of the real procedure for line-of-duty death tributes. In addition, Firefighters from all over the state, and country who volunteered to help (both paid & volunteer depts.) Your physical work, gallantry and spiritual support have served to sustain us during the tragedy, and provide a vivid example of what America should and can be.
We recognize the support of the International Association of Fire Fighters, which acted immediately to help the UFA and the UFOA to establish the 9-11 Relief Fund, providing prompt financial aid to our families in need.
We salute the staff and the hundreds of volunteers who have worked around the clock to handle the tremendous volume of mail and calls received daily.
Finally, we thank the thousands of people from the City of New York and all over the world who have provided financial, spiritual, and emotional support to our firefighters and their families.
We are overwhelmed by what you have done for us and we can never thank you enough. Thanks to your patriotism, America has a new generation of heroes to look towards for inspiration.
