UPDATE/STATUS/PLANS - WTC Flag Raising Petition - 127,500+ Signatures

PetitionOnline WTC Flag Raising Petition ^ | January 31, 2002 | Jeff Head

[Jeff Head]

This is an update report to those who have signed, or who are contemplating signing, the:

"Depict the Flag Raising at Ground Zero of the WTC Attack as it actually Occurred!" Petition

It is also to those who have otherwise supported that effort in any way. The purpose is to give a status and let you know plans for the petition.

First, let me thank those who have signed or supported this effort to insure that an accurate memorial is erected to the victims and heroes of 9-11, instead of anything based on a political agenda. The activism of thousands i showing just what people can accomplish if they take a mind to.

There are now over 127,500 signatures in sixteen days!

This issue has struck a nerve in tens of thousands of people all across this nation. That number is growing to hundreds of thoiusands, and I am sure if people were aware of it, it would grow to millions. Revisionism and political correctness are not going to be tolerated with respect to 9-11. They should never be tolerated and perhaps this issue and this effort will start the ball rolling that way.

Specifically, the effort is paying off and together with the firefighters themselves and the many thousands of others who have protested, it has resulted in New York City scrapping plans for an altered flag raising statue. Ultimate plans have not yet been announced, and so there is still a chance that they will propose some other politically driven memorial which alters the history of what happened that day. Therefore according to the 2nd point in the petition, which indicates that only a historically accurate memorial should be erected, the petition is continuing. It will do so until final plans are announced for a historically accurate memorial not based on any political agenda.

In that regard, I am also writing to let you know the current plans for the petition and its signatures.

It is my intent intent to have the first 100,000 signatures delivered directly to the City of New York and the New York City Fire Department as soon as possible. I intend to give two copies of professionally bound signatures (which will amount to ten volumes of five hundred pages of signatures each) to firefighters there in New York City who can in turn present them to the Fire Department and to the Mayor and/or his representatives. I would hope to attract media attention to that event, but intend to do it with or without the media. I would then repeat this process at the 250,000, the 500,000 and the one million signature marks if the petition goes that far, which I hope it does.

I believe that stacks of bound signatures from all over the country piled on politicians' and planners' desks will help insure that we hold those same politicians' and planners' feet to the fire. It will help insure than no more political nonsense and revisionism is applied to any ememorial dedicated to any event of that tragic day, 9-11. Tragedy that turned to heroism that generated patriotism and unity across this entire nation.

The effort required to make this happen will not be incosequential. Electronically extracting the 100,000 names, formatting them, professionally printing them, copying them, professionally binding them and then delivering them to New York City will take considerable effort and expense. Anyone who is interested in the details of that effort and who agrees with the importance of it, and would like to help, please contact me at the following email address and I will send you the details regarding how you can help.

Any excess funds that result from this effort will be donated proportionally to the IAFF New York Fire Fighters 911 Disaster Relief Fund, the Port Authority Police WTC Disaster Survivors Fund, and to NYPD and EMS worker funds established directly by those associations for the support of families of personnel killed or injured on 9-11.

Thank you for your time, and again, either way, thank you for your support in this effort to insure that we depict accurately what occurred on 9-11. It must remain accurate so that we can always remember and never forget those who died or were injured ... and so that we can therefore maintain our national sovereignty and liberty against those who would destroy them.

Isn't it time for you to hit the hay?We need you sharp witted.The dull witted end of our effort is well under control.

Northern Virginia, Sept. 22, 2001 — Homes in neighborhoods throughout the United States, like these in the northern Virginia suburbs of Washington, D.C., have been displaying the U.S. flag since the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center. The displaying of the national flag is symbolizing the solidarity with national leadership and as homage to the victims and survivors of the attacks. Many of the Pentagon victims lived in northern Virginia. U.S. Navy photo by Alan P. Goldstein, Navy Office of Information [010922-N-5670G-001] Sept. 22, 2001

Truth be known ... we are all dull witted and must all rely on Him who is mighty to save and wise beynd understanding to guide our way.

But, with respect to the "hitting the hay" part ... I bow to your wisdom and go now to count sheep.

Those same colors are still flying all over Idaho!

Same here in Ft. Worth, Texas. People around here are really sticking together.

Beautiful Colors and I'm thrilled to be camouflaged instead of standing out,but proud before that at least the Colors flew where I was.

[Jeff Head]

Wouldn't expect anything less from Cowtown!

I was raised about 50 miles up the Chisolm trail North and West of Denton near a little place called Bolivar on Clear Creek in Denton County.

But ... gotta hit the hay now. As my German friends would say ... bis Morgan!

[Dubya]

Good nite all going to bed. Big work day tomorrow.

[Free Trapper]

A couple of Germans in the area for sure.Years back I lived just out of Muenster,good country,good folk.One of my boys worked NW Denton County all last summer.

There's an area you don't see too much PCBS in.Let's stop it before it gets there or fouls anyplace else.

[Free Trapper]

The PC liars do damage to every aspect of our lives.Now they don't even want a youngster to learn how to fish let alone how to safely exercise his Second Amendment rights.What's next?We have to stop them now,before it's too late.

Off to do some wildlife conservation work and irritate the Peta-viles.

Father correcting boy-Son,don't ask folks where they're from,if they're from Texas they'll tell you,if not you don't want to embarrass them.

[backhoe]

Is this another hint

No, not at all- just thought re-posting those links would be helpful... I had a devil of a time finding where they were to copy them, and figured many people may not have seen them at all.

[backhoe]

They are no longer getting the audience they once enjoyed

Exactly- and while the web is almost certainly the biggest and broadest source of alternative news and views, I suspect talk radio has a lot to do with it, too. In my neck of the woods you can get conservative/Libertarian shows all day, and nearly all night as well.

A lot of people listen to these new voices.

[Jeff Head]

I suspect talk radio has a lot to do with it, too.

I agree. It caught on first. But the Internet is fast catching up to it IMHO.

My dad is an 81 year old Marine. Served on Guam until he got too close to an exploding grenade. He and mom will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary this year, Lord willing.

When a Marine says 'I will' or 'I do', they either will, or do, or die. I pray the Marine 'genes' remain dominant in me, his #1 son.
