Cavy wins a special prize: publicity for the website of Cavy's choice. I e-mailed Cavy earlier and just got a reply. I have to say, I couldn't have picked a better website to plug:
As Cavy put it in the e-mail, "It is an abomination what the fools in NY are trying to do!" I couldn't agree more. For those of you who haven't been paying attention...
Read The Great Ground Zero Heist.
There are forces, powerful, shadowy forces, moving in America, moving to change the way Americans view themselves and are viewed around the world. They don't think of America as a force for good, but a contributor to evil. And the people behind these forces have got their feet in the door in the creation of the 9/11 memorial at Ground Zero -- American Holy Ground. They are taking a site that, for the average American, has become our Mecca, our Wailing Wall, our Notre Dame, our Angor Wat, and they are trying to manipulate the message to be enshrined there.
They don't want the memorial to pay tribute to America's freedoms, to remember the sacrifices of our Armed Forces, our Firemen, our Police, or to honor the loss of 3,000 innocents killed by terror. They want the memorial to show how shameful we should be for oppressing the Native Americans, for owning slaves, and for our continued oppression around the world. In a nutshell, they want the memorial to place the blame for 9/11 on America's own wrongdoing.
And so we must take back the memorial.
As New York's former Mayor Giuliani, the man in charge the day terrorists destroyed the World Trade Center, puts it:
Those who visit should be able to relive the experience in a way that does justice to the enormity of the events... Done correctly, the memorial at ground zero will commemorate the horror and the heroism of Sept. 11.
But Giuliani's vision may never come to pass, not if people like George Soros have their way. So visit the take back the memorial site and sign their petition today.
We must never forget what happened on 9/11, nor diminish the suffering and sacrifice of the American people. And we must never allow those who hate us to have their hatred strengthened by a twisted message of hate placed on our most Holy Ground.
Thanks David! Everyone please go to the link and sign the petition. Write your representatives (er... if YOU can call them that). Let Pataki/Bloomberg/Pryor know how you feel about this ... IT IS IMPORTANT!
Thanks again David and thanks to all who help.
