The picture on the petition is not displaying at the petition site because the traffic to the server where that picture resides has been so great, just for the link to the one small picture, that it far exceeded my bandwidth. I bought a bunch more, but it will not kick in until next Tuesday. I also had a Fire Department out of Florida donate some space for a different location for the picture, but Petitiononline has not been able to change the link yet. Either way, I expect the problem will be resolved ultimately.
This is a great PR blow against the left wing maggots who use PC revisionist history for their agendas.
It is a great blow to those who pretend to be conservatives and try to tell us that we can't win in issues like this one.
Great going, Grampa Jeff! Hug that grandson, and tell him that his gramps and over 40,000 of us won one for him and all the other new grandkids out there in America. His history has not been revised by the revisionists on the PC left!
Gee, I wonder if he's also a Kard-Karrying member of the ADL or ACLU? Any bets?
From this petition, to the gentleman whose case comes before congress questioning the ratification of the Income Tax, it would be wonderful if our ancestors have saved us once again, to schools being challenged on teaching Islam, to Professors being challenged on their radical leftist preaching to captive audiences, to that little church's win against the ACLU, to teachers demanding their dues from their union that went to pay into a political agenda, so many fronts that ordinary Americans are fighting back on. It's really inspiring and I wish there was a organization that we could all join that would file class action law suits on behalf of citizens for redress of grievances in order to roll back un-Constitutional laws.

My husband was at ground zero on September 11 when the second building collapsed. He came home that day....Thank God....
We want to thank you for all of your efforts on behalf of preserving history. We appreciate the support that so many wonderful Americans have shown and continue to show in the wake of the horror of 9/11.
My husband and I were deeply saddened by the revised statue of the three firefighters ... In no uncertain terms it is a rewrite of history. Basically what the powers that be have succeeded in doing with their politically correct nonsense is to take a deeply moving experience, a true show of patriotism, the embodiment of what so many Americans were feeling at the time and turn it into a racial issue.
My husband and I would rather they pull the statue it doesn't seem to be needed....Let the pictures of 9/11, the crater at Ground Zero, the memories of 343 funerals, the empty turnout gear, the no longer used helmets carried by greiving children and widows.......let that be the tribute to their heroism....let it be in the hearts and minds of the families of the lost, the surviving firefighters who came home from ground zero covered in dust, soot, and the blood of the dead to cry like children over the horrors they witnessed. Let the tribute to our FDNY heros be in the minds of the wives and children who cried and prayed waiting for word from their men, and cried and prayed when they did hear from them. Let it be in the hearts and minds of the thousands that turned out and lined the route to Ground Zero to cheer their heros, the thousands who sent socks, boots, gloves, food, and water. The thousands who wrote checks and heartwarming letters of encouragement. Let their tribute remain in the heats and minds of the thousands who got so choked up watching the grief of the men who lost their "brothers" that they felt as though it was their loss as well.
Throw away the statue....it is an insult to the heros of 9/11 because it takes what they were all about....Heroism, Love of Country, Unselfish concern for others, and turns it into an issue of race.......It takes something that united our country in love, patriotism, concern, outreach, and true empathy for those hurting and turns it into something that divides us.
In the meantime my Freeper Friends....thank you again from the bottom of our hearts....just knowing you're out there is a comfort. Keep doing what you do and thanks for spreading the word regarding the statue.
I may take a wild shot at guessing why this came to be so. Reality is not malleable, but public perception is. Those who would lord over all that they see must condition us to take the funny money of perception (as managed by themselves) in preference to the realities which they cannot manage. We are trained to distrust and denigrate the evidence of our own eyes, and to see what we supposedly ought, rather than what actually is.
