Mike Meehans response to the reaction to the Billboards
Im truly sorry if these billboards have offended some of you. My purpose was not to hurt anyone, but rather remind us seriously of what we are challenged with and make us rethink. The billboards are big but the bigger picture Im conveying is that the security of our nation as well as our economic future is going to be determined by whether we have a democrat or a republican president. It has basically come to this and its not complicated. Lets be honest of where were at in these times and what were facing. The discussion on how you vote has never been as crucial as it is today. That is why these billboards are so important. What some call using the words exploiting those who died on 9/11, I instead replace this word with remembering and the words never forgetting. What some call offensive and disturbing for showing the picture, I call it the same but for not showing these pictures more often. If we are so hurt and offended by this horrific atrocity that occurred on 9/11 then let this be more the reason why we show it and show it more often, especially during an election year. We have not suffered near as much as those who perished that day on 9/11 and of those that made their decision to jump. Now its our turn to make a decision in order to prevent this horrific attack from ever happening again.
First of all we need a strong President who is persistent in fighting terrorism. A strong willed president who is not going to pander to the very same nations that want to destroy us. Lets look at the terrorist pattern just before we were attacked by Muslim terrorist on that day of 9/11.
All terrorist acts upon our own soil during the Bill Clinton democrat administration were never treated seriously but only as isolated incidences. These decisions were more than poorly or recklessly made. We need to be focused on the big picture. Of course Im aware that the attacks of 9/11 occurred during George Bushs presidency. Yes it was on his watch but it wasnt on his decision making prior to his office. If President George Bush was in office for only two days does that still make him responsible? Would that have changed your blame game in deciding of who was at fault and more responsible? Lets get real and be honest about the facts if youre that offended by these billboards.
Bill Clinton and the Democrats ignored the recommendation requiring x-ray screen for baggage, to restore marshals to commercial flights and to federalize air security and check points. Only when we had a republican president and after 9/11 were these recommendations required and implemented by George Bush.
The democrat president Bill Clinton whose number 1 job is to protect us and keep us safe, refused to create a list of extremists and terrorist organizations to alert the public because he was afraid of being accused of racial profiling.
Democrats and Bill Clinton were warned about more atrocities on our soil by the same terrorist. In 1996 Sudan even offered the Clinton and Gore administration Osama Bin Laden on a silver platter not once but 3 times. He refused repeatedly and turned down the offers saying quote We do not have a case!!!
Listen people, why should we ever again entrust our countrys future with a democrat presidency and administration who panders to the very same nations that continually want to destroy our buildings, our economy and our way of life.
Even after 9/11 the worst atrocity ever on our soil killing thousands of innocent Americans including our New York firemen and New York policemen, democrats opposed financial military support even while our men and women were fighting in Afghanistan. This is absurd. What the hell is going on? We need to look at this sickening pattern the democrats implore on us, in order to understand the Muslim terrorist threats and attacks.
President Bill Clinton and democrats say they are for our country, sworn in by oath to uphold the Constitution and protect us, but they do everything but that. Bill Clinton not wanting war or blood on his hands and not willing to stand against the terrorist eventually gave them the opportunity to shed the blood on thousands of innocent Americans.
If Al Gore was president in place of George Bush, the attacks on our country would have certainly continued. But I thank God we had President George Bush in office who went on the attack immediately and pursued catching and killing many of the top Muslim terrorist leaders. President George Bush intercepted the terrorists pattern of attacks. Notice we havent had a terrorist attack on our soil since 9/11. The Bill Clinton and Al Gore administration were 100% guilty and responsible by their lack of aggression leaving the door wide open for the terrorist to continually attack us. President George Bush inherited the drastic errors of the Democrat presidency that failed prior to him taking office.
We need a President thats going to stand for us, preserving our way of life and to be defiant on eradicating terrorism. We need a president whos going to stand behind the principles and values that make this country great, one who will defeat terror and evil as we see it, our existence depends on it. Our very safety hinges on our will to give the president all the tools necessary to accomplish this.
During the Bill Clinton administration, they said gays in the military and global warming was more important than the war on terror, 9/11 proved them wrong. We need a president today and always who will not be afraid to unleash the great power and military strength of the United States of America.
If the democrats really cared about you and me and this country we would have been drilling for oil here in this country and off our shores. The democrats continually stop bills from being passed that would allow us to drill here. Meanwhile China is in the process of drilling for oil just off our Florida coast. Democrats still have stopped us from building oil refineries, building safe nuclear energy power plants, theyve passed bills restricting us from mining coal and stopped new energy exploration.
Can you see the billions and billions of dollars being lost that goes out of our country and to make matters worse a lot of this money goes to nations that sponsor terrorism?
We need a president in office whos going to be on our side. We dont need a fancy talker whos more interested in flattery and impressions but rather we need a president whos more concerned about us.
As big as these billboards are, the message Im trying to convey to you is the bigger picture. So lets prevent 9/11 from happening again and lets not forget all those who have perished that day. Let this picture be a warning to the terrorist as well, that we havent forgotten who the enemy is.
May God bless you and our great nation, The United States of America.
May we never waver to put our trust in him and seek his wisdom and guidance always.
Your Friend,
Mike Meehan

Lyrics
The Democrat secular progressive move,
political correctness is killing us too.
They want to take the money from the hard workin' man,
and give it to the lazy folks that don't give a damn.
Chorus
Democrats and Liberals, shame on you,
don't punish us all just to please a few,
You're holdin people back while we're pickin' up the slack,
and that's why we can't vote for a Democrat.
Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no, no...
Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no, nooo...
Yeah, you're holdin people back, while we're pickin' up the tax,
Oh no, no please don't vote for a Democrat.
Now we're trying to win a war and wipe out the terrorists,
We're not fightin' for oil we got plenty if we drill it.
But the liberals and the media are spreading their lies,
Get the hell out of our way and let our soldiers fight.
Chorus
Democrats and Liberals shame on you,
Don't punish us all just to please a few.
No we can't afford to have another attack,
and that's why we can't vote for a Democrat.
Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no ,no...
Oh no, a no, no, no, no, no, no..
No we can't afford to have another attack,
Oh no, please don't vote for a Democrat.
Republicans, we're not perfect but we know the truth
We uphold the Constitution and the Golden Rule.
We believe a man's freedom is a God given right,
the USA is the beacon to the whole world in sight.
Chorus
Democrats and Liberals shame on you,
Don't punish us all just to please a few.
Our Constitution, Nation and God are under attack,
and that's why we can't vote for a Democrat.
Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no...
Oh no, oh no, no, no, no, no, no...
Our Constitution, Nation and God are under attack,
Oh no, please, oh no please, don't vote for a Democrat.
Our Constitution, Nation and God are under attack,
Oh no, please, oh no please, don't vote for a Democrat.

Shameless self-promotion...
Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Beautiful.
Can we get one of those in Maine?
How can we be expected to trust those with the security of the nation that don’t respect the security and sanctity of the unborn?
You courage is amazing.
Just for clarification, I meant Mike’s courage.
Awesome! I want some for the lovely blue state of MN! can you just picture the wailing and gnashing of teeth if these were put up??!!!
