UPDATE/STATUS/PLANS - WTC Flag Raising Petition - 127,500+ Signatures
PetitionOnline WTC Flag Raising Petition ^ | January 31, 2002 | Jeff Head

Posted on 01/31/2002 6:50:30 AM PST by 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.

In the past hour or so I have received a good ten emails form people saying pretty much the same thing attacking the petition and CC'ing their comments on to others of their ilk.

This is great evidence that the petition is disseminating beyond the limits of conservatism. It has even permeated into the depths of liberal scum.

We know that tyrants and despots want history revised to their suiting. Oft times, when they are not ready to do so with an iron fist, they will influence others to do it for them, calling it fashion and art.

It is surprising to hear quite a few Americans (although certainly not but a small percent of those responding to me as a result of this petition), as they look at this issue, making those noises. They honestly believe that they as artisits are somehow "annointed" or "commissioned" to look at an event and tell everyone else what it means, or insure that future generations understand it correctly, Therefore they believe and state that it is really more accurate to mis-represent what actually happened.

They are the useful idiots (along with a slew of others) of our day. Sad thing is, they do not realize that when they accomplish their purpose and the tyrant or despot steps up to the plate ... those despots and tyrants that these fashionalbe artists looked up to will have a new job waiting for many of them in the hog troughs.

134,700 BUMP!

Yep.

There are a number of self admitted "libnerals" who continue to email me and who agree whole heartedly with the petition ... who have seen the light reagrding how far the PC-BS, diversity and revisionism agenda has gone with this issue. Such folks are salvagable as regards their ideology and their understanding of our liberty IMHO.

However, these latest are "true believers" ... and they do not like it, no not one bit.

Good.

134,740 BUMP

The American's Creed

by William Tyler Page

"I believe in the United States of America as a government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed, a democracy in a republic, a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

"I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it, to support its Constitution, to obey its laws to respect its flag, and to defend it against all enemies."

-- Written 1917, accepted by the United States House of Representatives on April 3, 1918.

The true believers are the ones that are accustomed to dropping an outrage when braced on it,then when decent people move on they slightly alter it and sneak it by,as they would do here if given the chance.

They also fear our continued prosecution of the petition as it brings more of the self admitted liberals closer to realization of the truth.

The teachers' unions may want to revise their support of PCBS one day.

The teachers were some of the first to go in Cambodia,as they were educated and the socialists had to erase all knowledge of the truth to retain power.
