Firefighters for Bush

On March 4, 2004, President Bush released the first television campaign ad of the season. It was a powerful, upbeat, forward-looking message of hope, containing images from his presidency and a vision of a better future. It was also attacked immediately in the press as "exploitative" because the President had included some brief images from 9/11 which featured the crumbled towers and weary firefighters. IAFF president Howard Schaitberger joined the attack, claiming that the President was trying to "capitalize on the image of great heroics and a great tragedy." But other firefighters, incensed at the IAFF's statements, rallied around the President. Many of them turned to the web as a way to express their outrage at Schaitberger's remarks.

On March 10, 2004, one week to the day after Bush's ad aired and the IAFF attack, FirefightersForBush.com was unveiled. An all-volunteer effort by people who hadn't even known each other the week before, this site is the product of real-live, honest-to-God American Grassroots politics at its best.

Can We Really Change Anything?

Absolutely, positively and emphatically yes. The fact is, Americans really do pay attention to the opinions of real Americans, more than they listen to talking heads, "official spokesmen," and unions. By telling the truth about our strong support for president Bush we can make a difference - so Get Involved!

Spread The Word

Tell your friends about this site. Email every firefighter you know who might be interested, and invite them to visit us. If you spend time in chat rooms or online forums (bulletin boards), let the folks there know about us too! We're all volunteer, and that includes you. Be a part of the solution.

I went over and looked at their site, it's a good one. We need to see if we can get them to head over this way. Sounds like they are our kind of people.

My union or my country? Firefighters will not forget their murdered brothers. They will not surrender, even if their union asks them to.

A great site. Read some of the comments. Some of those guys had been dues paying members of the union, and have now quit the union over this! Kind of a shame, as union membership probably has alot of benefits. But these are men of principle, I respect that.
