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.

I've really enjoyed your history notes, too! One concern I have is the number of large graphics. I have a cable modem so have no trouble downloading them but those on dial-ups might have a problem. But they are certainly worthwhile and informative!!!

[Jeff Head]

Such folks [Liberals] are salvagable as regards their ideology and their understanding of our liberty IMHO.

Jeff, It's great to hear that your petition is providing some Liberals the opportunity to redeem themselves.

The United States Marine Corps was created on November 10 1775 in Philadelphia Pennsylvania in a small tavern named Tun Tavern.

Marines go through boot camp(basic training) at one of two places,Paris Island South Carolina or MCRD San Diego California,Marine boot camp is tough and long (16 weeks).

After boot camp you are sent to MCT (Marine Combat Training)More fun and games but you get to fire more weapons and now get liberty!!!After completion of MCT you are off to MOS school (military occupational specialty).

This MOS will be your job while in the Marines.After MOS school you go to a fleet Marine unit and the start of your Marine Corps life!!!

Terror in America 11th September 2001

As our special tribute to the terrible events that happened in America on 11th September 2001 we provide this page showing Britain's support and indeed the support of our own Electric Scotland community. Not only was this a terrible event for Americans but also for the world. It is said that more British were killed in this event than in any other terrorist event in our history. Many people of some 61 nations have died as a result and the world has come together to support our American cousins in their time of need.

The U.S.A. It's estimated that there are over 20 million people of Scots descent in the US and they have contributed greatly to that country.
