Heart felt and humble thanks to so many FReepers and so many others all over the nation who made this possible. It is another example of how we can win and roll back the plans and activities of those whose ideology is in direct conflict with the principles this nation was founded upon.

I would ask those freepers who have been expending so much time and effort on this worthy cause to please consider, now that it has wound down signifcantly, to apply those efforts to other worthy causes of your choice that may need more urgent attention. Of course, you can find an abundance of them right here on FR. God bless you each.

Interesting. It's been exactly two years since this petition broke the 400,000 mark and within a couple of months thereafter it was announced that the offensive monument would not be built.

In the ensuing 22 or so months since that announcement, the petition has gathered another 22,784 signatures.

One of the recent ones, from April 11 of this year, reads...

It is a sick travesty to distort such an event just to satisfy certain skewed and misguided social agendas. Whoever conceived the idea of doctoring up the picture to show "diversity" ought to be ashamed of him or herself. You do NOT doctor up history, ESPECIALLY history of that magnitude. Portray it as it really was, not as some people would have liked it to have been. For Heaven's sake is nothing sacred?!

Still very heartwarming and encouraging to read such sentiments.

Great news! I signed this so long ago that I had forgotten about it. Thanks so much for posting this update.
