PRESS RELEASE
WTC Flag Raising Petition Surpasses 100,000 signatures in Eleven Days.
Plans to Deliver Signatures to New York City Officials being Developed.

January 26, 2002
Emmett, Idaho

The national online petition to the City of New York and the New York City Fire Department protesting the proposal for an altered Ground Zero Flag Raising Statue and petitioning for an historically accurate memorial has now gathered over 100,000 signatures.

The petition was started on the internet on January 15th to supplement a local petition initiated by the firefighters themselves. The online petition is open to all American citizens and to any interested foreign citizens since many citizens of many nations were killed by the terrorists on 911, and since the terrorist threat is a world-wide threat.

The City of New York has announced that they have shelved the altered statue ... but they have also announced that they are considering other options for a memorial. The online petition effort will therefore continue according to the 2nd point in the petition until such time that the final plans are announced and until those plans propose an historically accurate memorial that is not beholden to, or driven by, any political agenda whatsoever. We urge anyone supporting this effort to end revisionism and political correctness as it pertains to 911 to inform others by email, by phone, by conversation, by mail ... however possible ... asking them to sign the petition and to spread the word in a like manner for those other people to also sign the petition at:

There are plans being developed to deliver the first 100,000 signatures to City Hall in New York City at the earliest possible date. Those plans call for the delivery to occur with FDNY personnel there who support the aims of this petition, along with as many personnel from other Fire Departments and other citizens from around the country as can arrange to be there. These plans will be announced in more detail as they are finalized through email chains and press releases and on message boards and online sites like:

FreeRepublic.com
SierraTimes.com
FreeBritannia.co.uk

When those 100,000 signatures are delivered, it will be made clear that many hundreds of thousands more will be forthcoming and will also be delivered to New York City Hall as they are gathered.

The revision of historical record for political purposes , for "artistic" purposes or any other purpose is an anti-thesis of true liberty. It is the type of activity that cultures and nations have done to deceive their citizens in the past and has heralded the downfall of those cultures and nations. In recent history names like Stalin, Hitler and Mao are associated with such activities. NEVER in America. Liberty and free will choices must be based on accurate and true information for them to have any meaning. Later generations need to look at our memorials and have complete faith and confidence in their accuracy and fidelity. We the people, signing and promoting this petition effort, intend to have that critical principle applied to the horrific events of 911.

Those horrific events heralded in a new era of unity that supercedes such politically correct and politically motivated agendas. May we never forget! May we always remember and honor those who died with the truth and with a commitment to insure that the record is held inviolate, that we stamp out such revisionism and political correctness from amongst us as it pertains to any event associated with 911.

WOOHOO, I'm number 100 on the petition, I feel SOOO special!! 100 out of 100,000, right on!! Got in on the ground floor!!

Good job, this cannot be allowed to stand!!

[nopardons]

Thank you for your effort, Jeff . I've signed it, bumpt the threads, and sent the petion out to friends and family to sign.

[Jeff Head]

No ... but thst flag waiving IN Freedom and in truth represents all the good, all the work, all the toil, all the BLOOD that has gone into making and keeping us free.

A PC BS, culturally diverse, quota filled, revisioinist depiction of that flag being raised over the hallowed ground where innocent American blood was spilled and where valient American blood was spilled is INTOLERABLE!

That is what this effort is about and as long as I draw breath I will do ALL in my power to keep it from happening.

So STAND DOWN DAMMIT on this binge you are on. It does not reflect well on you and it does disservice to the people here who are fighting this particualr fight.

Is it the only fight? By God you know it isn't and you know I know it isn't. But it is the one we are involved in right here and any fight for liberty is an important one.

I hope this gets through the haze Bob, you know I respect you and the fights we have been in together, but enough is enough.

Good night, I'm off to count sheep.

[Jeff Head]

Thank you bro ... hope we can make a difference here, and as I said before, that it'll be enough to spill over into other areas.

[Jeff Head]

Amen, this cannot be allowed to stabnd.

100 out of 100,000 ... a real one in a thousand kind of individual! LOL!

[Jeff Head]

Thank YOU so much for your eforts. Every effort helps and adds to the whole. Thousands and thousands of people doing just what you did has gotten this thing this far ... I pray it continues on to 200K from here and that we can get the physical signatures into the hands of the officials there in NYC ... with all the comments too!

[nopardons]

Shut up and go away Buckeroo. I lost THREE people, I knew , on 9/11/01. Not a single person , from any of their families is asking for anything, and ALL who died, were CONSERVATIVES . I've seen all I care to, of your juvenile disruptions, on this thread.

[Jeff Head]

Stand down in your attack dog tactics this evening against people who should be your allies on this thread ... that's what the "Stand-Down" was about.

This effort is about the very things you stand for Bob. The pols and administrators are trying to revise history for their own political gain. This effort is a simple one to bring pressure to bear to keep them from doing it. It has struck a nerve in Americans all over the nation and it is a nerve that can be applied to many other similar issues if we will just nuture it.

Ripping people apart because they are involved will not nuture it ... it will tend to destroy it.

Anyhow, I hope you think on it and understand where I am coming from ... I am certainly not asleep mentally, spiritually or patriotically on this issue ... head's up, eyes are alert and forward and I'm scanning the ridge lines in my peripheral ... and right now your sillouette is in plain site up there as it respects this issue IMHO. I hope you will reconsider, but it is your choice and there are lots of other good, important battles to be fought too.

Anyhow, I am physically heading for sleep now.

[Dakmar]

I don't quite understand what happened.Can you enlighten me?

I dunno, I was just congratulating Jeff Head and his successful petition, and all the FReepers who helped.

[ForGod'sSake]

Take a break; you've earned it. Sorry I missed breaking the ***100,000***
mark, but had time sensitive projects going.

WELL DONE!!!

Let ME just say, that without good "thinkers", we are doomed. IMO, you are a good thinker. I just wish we had more clever thinkers. Don't think bad of me... I get the bottom of a broom everyday from my wife, Rose.

[Admin Moderator]

How many times are you going to post that? hehe.

[Eastbound]

Kudos, Jeff. great work!!!

And another bumpity, bump, bump, bump!

[ForGod'sSake]

Havin' some fun? I'm getting vertigo trying to keep up here <\;-)

Looks like a few replies were pulled by the moderator. Right or wrong, this whole issue seems to have struck a nerve. I'll try not to say anything that will get yanked.

Accurate events should be preserved, anything else is garbage. Arafat and bin Laden are garbage, too. Kill them.
