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.

From 255708:
I am a history major. History is based on facts as they happened. It is NOT to be "ADJUSTED" to make other people feel good. It is TOTALLY irrelevant what skin color those brave firemen have. They represent the nation as a whole, NOT individuals! The idea of changing the depiction of what happened is disrespectful to all of those who died that day!
On to 500,000!
BUMP at 255,860!
BUMP!
Actually, I think Jeff is the one with the 'crystal ball', I just look for his hints. {;~)
