The Petition to New York City regarding the Firefighter Memorial

protesting the originally proposed Ground Zero Flag Raising Statue and seeking that the as yet unstated plans for a memorial be non-political and historically correct, has surpassed the 250,000 signature mark. It now stands at:

250,650 Signatures

The First 120,000 signatures have been sent to New York firefighters for delivery to the Mayor's Office.

The next 130,000 signatures will be on their way as soon as they are extracted, printed and bound. We will keep doing this until it is clear that plans for the memorial are not politcally driven and are not revisionist. That being the case, please continue to point others towards the petition site at:

http://www.petitiononline.com/flgraise/

to sign and forward the petition on to all they know. We can win this fight and in the process see many of our fellow Americans awakened to the PC-BS going on all around them which they in turn will question and then fight.

The response has been like this because the cause is right!!!

[Jeff Head]

Amen to that ... now may it spread to the many other similar PC-BS and revisionist issues on our door step!

[bloodmeridian]

This rocks!

 

(I knew this would happen when, last week, the link was forwarded to me from a Hollywood friend. LOL!)

Wow, Jeff, when you get something going, you sure don't fool around!

My signatures in there already, number 138 or something like that.

[Jeff Head]

It's been mazing. I have gotten the link and request for signature forwrded to me a numbe rof times. it's still going strong.

I reply to every email, clarifying the current situation ... and the numbers are pretty large each day ... but I honestly believe it helps keep the email chains going and I believe that now most of the continued signatures are coming as a result of that.

There has been, outside of FR and Firehouse.com, no large internet or other media exposure to the specific location of the petition. It's been going a month and three days.

BUMP back at 250,870

[Jeff Head]

It took off on its own ... seriously, took on a life of its won from the get-go IMHO.

It's very heart warming and hope inspiring to see the comments. For example, here is one of the latest from 250856:

Enough with this constant "political correctness" if we change what happened here, does it mean we should go back and re-do the sculpture of the flag raising at Iwo Jima too? This politically correct crap is getting ridiculous.
