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.

I pray that your efforts are successful.
My sentiments. He is joining many other "voices in the wilderness". May our prayers and voices be raised to the heavens. And may God have mercy on those that have trampled His Word and the principles on which this country was founded. I don't know if I can.

I believe we will approach 9,000 signatures today ... need to get to 266,900 to do that and have another four hours to do so.
Now at 264,100 so we'll have to average 700 an hour. Will be close.
BUMP
Works in horseshoes..... I owe, owe; it's off to work I go...

Help! Someone else please bump this thread along.
Will be VERY close to 9,000 in the next fifteen minutes, but maybe a few hundred off.

To ALTER the facts as they occured for the purpose of promoting a race-based agenda is SICKENING! The fact that someone or some group of people felt the need to take this easily newly engrained image in the american psyche and alter it for their own agenda IS ignorant in my eyes. Racial diversity is the not what is captured in that photo, nor was ANTI-racial diversity. It was simply an inspirational flash, captured on film, used to help mend a fatally wounded nation of millions. Obviously, the agenda being pushed by altering that image into the factless effigy that I have seen is not the point. The point is this: people who consider themselves American (by nature, by choice, by proximity or even by spirit) identified with the "story" told by that picture. 3 individuals, who's race SHOULDN'T MATTER, took it upon themselves to try and raise the spirits of ALL of those who witnessed or are working in the horror and debris around them by raising a symbol, a reminder of our country's strength and courage..
