Eight year ago today, my family laid to rest a 9/11 hero on what would have been his 46th birthday. Outside the church, along with hundreds of friends and neighbors and 1,200 firefighters tearfully saluting their fallen brother, we felt our nation standing as one. Today, we ask that you stand once more, for your families and with ours, to support our troops, and in the common defense.
Last night, briefly yet eloquently, Debra Burlingame told Mark Levin of our effort and how you can support it (click here to sign the letter):
We have appealed directly to the President. Below is that letter. Update III, 5:55 pm Eastern: Yesterday, we had 1,000 signatures. Mark Levin’s surge began the ball rolling last night at 8 PM and we had 5,000 by this morning. and Michelle Malkin linked over early this morning and it jumped to 21,000 in 2 hours. After media hits by Debra Burlingame and FDNY 9/11 survivor Tim Brown, we currently have 62,000 signatures.

President Barack Obama
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear President Obama:
On September 11, 2001, the entire world watched as 19 men hijacked four commercial airliners, attacking passengers and killing crew members, and then turned the fully-fueled planes into missiles, flying them into the World Trade Center twin towers, the Pentagon and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. 3,000 of our fellow human beings died in two hours. The nation’s commercial aviation system ground to a halt. Lower Manhattan was turned into a war zone, shutting down the New York Stock Exchange for days and causing tens of thousands of residents and workers to be displaced. In nine months, an estimated 50,000 rescue and recovery workers willingly exposed themselves to toxic conditions to dig out the ravaged remains of their fellow citizens buried in 1.8 million tons of twisted steel and concrete.
The American people were rightly outraged by this act of war. Whether the cause was retribution or simple recognition of our common humanity, the words “Never Forget” were invoked in tearful or angry rectitude, defiantly written in the dust of Ground Zero or humbly penned on makeshift memorials erected all across the land. The country was united in its determination that these acts should not go unmarked and unpunished.
Eight long years have passed since that dark and terrible day. Sadly, some have forgotten the promises we made to those whose lives were taken in such a cruel and vicious manner.
We have not forgotten. We are the husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, sons, daughters, sisters, brothers and other family members of the victims of these depraved and barbaric attacks, and we feel a profound obligation to ensure that justice is done on their behalf. It is incomprehensible to us that members of the United States Congress would propose that the same men who today refer to the murder of our loved ones as a “blessed day” and who targeted the United States Capitol for the same kind of destruction that was wrought in New York, Virginia and Pennsylvania, should be the beneficiaries of a social compact of which they are not a part, do not recognize, and which they seek to destroy: the United States Constitution.
We adamantly oppose prosecuting the 9/11 conspirators in Article III courts, which would provide them with the very rights that may make it possible for them to escape the justice which they so richly deserve. We believe that military commissions, which have a long and honorable history in this country dating back to the Revolutionary War, are the appropriate legal forum for the individuals who declared war on America. With utter disdain for all norms of decency and humanity, and in defiance of the laws of warfare accepted by all civilized nations, these individuals targeted tens of thousands of civilian non-combatants, brutally killing 3,000 men, women and children, injuring thousands more, and terrorizing millions.
It is morally offensive to offer Constitutional protections to individuals charged with murdering 3,000 individuals, in essence, to jeopardize justice for war crimes victims, in order to make an appeal to the Muslim world. The use of Article III courts after the 1993 World Trade Center attack didn’t stop any of the subsequent terrorist plots, including the attack on Khobar Towers, 19 Americans killed, the 1998 East African Embassy bombing, 212 killed, the USS Cole bombing, 17 sailors killed. The attacks of 9/11 were a resounding rebuke to the view that federal courts were an appropriate counterterrorism strategy. Afterward, we didn’t send law enforcement personnel to apprehend the perpetrators, we sent the United States military, who captured them and held them pursuant to the 2001 Authorization of the Use of Military Force (AUMF).
The American people do not support the use of our cherished federal courts as a stage by the “mastermind of 9/11″ and his co-conspirators to condemn this nation and rally their fellow terrorists the world over. As one New York City police detective, who lost 60 fellow officers on 9/11, told members of the Department of Justice’s Detainee Policy Task Force at a meeting last June, “You people are out of touch. You need to hear the locker room conversations of the people who patrol your streets and fight your wars.”
On May 21, you stated that military commissions, promulgated by congressional legislation and recently reformed with even greater protections for defendants, are a legal and appropriate forum to try individuals captured pursuant the 2001 AUMF, passed by Congress in response to the attack on America. Nevertheless, you announced a new policy requiring that Al-Qaeda terrorists should be tried in Article III courts “whenever feasible.”
We strongly object to the creation of a two-tier system of justice for terrorists in which those responsible for the death of thousands on 9/11 will be treated as common criminals and afforded the kind of platinum due process accorded American citizens, yet members of Al Qaeda who aspire to kill Americans but who do not yet have blood on their hands, will be treated as war criminals. To date, you have offered no explanation or justification for this contradiction, even as you readily acknowledge that the 9/11 conspirators, now designated “unprivileged enemy belligerents,” are appropriately accused of war crimes. We believe that this two-tier system, in which war criminals receive more due process protections than would-be war criminals, will be mocked and rejected in the court of world opinion as an ill-conceived contrivance aimed, not at justice, but at the appearance moral authority.
The public has a right to know that prosecuting the 9/11 conspirators in federal courts will result in a plethora of legal and procedural problems that will severely limit or even jeopardize the successful prosecution of their cases. Ordinary criminal trials do not allow for the exigencies associated with combatants captured in war, in which evidence is not collected with CSI-type chain-of-custody standards. None of the 9/11 conspirators were given the Miranda warnings mandated in Article III courts. Prosecutors contend that the lengthy, self-incriminating tutorials Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and others gave to CIA interrogators about 9/11 and other terrorist operations–called “pivotal for the war against Al-Qaeda” in a recently released, declassified 2005 CIA report–may be excluded in federal trials. Further, unlike military commissions, all of the 9/11 cases will be vulnerable in federal court to defense motions that their prosecutions violate the Speedy Trial Act. Indeed, the judge presiding in the case of Ahmed Ghailani, accused of participating in the 1998 bombing of the American Embassy in Kenya, killing 212 people, has asked for that issue to be briefed by the defense. Ghailani was indicted in 1998, captured in Pakistan in 2004, and held at Guantanamo Bay until 2009.
Additionally, federal rules risk that classified evidence protected in military commissions would be exposed in criminal trials, revealing intelligence sources and methods and compromising foreign partners, who will be unwilling to join with the United States in future secret or covert operations if doing so will risk exposure in the dangerous and hostile communities where they operate. This poses a clear and present danger to the public. The safety and security of the American people is the President’s highest duty.
Former Attorney General Michael Mukasey recently wrote in the Wall Street Journal that “the challenges of terrorism trials are overwhelming.” Mr. Mukasey, formerly a federal judge in the Southern District of New York, presided over the multi-defendant terrorism prosecution of Sheikh Omar Abel Rahman, the cell that attacked the World Trade Center in 1993 and conspired to attack other New York landmarks. In addition to the evidentiary problems cited above, he expressed concern about courthouse and jail facility security, the need for anonymous jurors to be escorted under armed guard, the enormous costs associated with the use of U.S. marshals necessarily deployed from other jurisdictions, and the danger to the community which, he says, will become a target for homegrown terrorist sympathizers–like the recent Fort Hood shooter–or embedded Al Qaeda cells.
Finally, there is the sickening prospect of men like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed being brought to the federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan, or the courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia, just a few blocks away from the scene of carnage eight years ago, being given a Constitutionally mandated platform upon which he can mock his victims, exult in the suffering of their families, condemn the judge and his own lawyers, and rally his followers to continue jihad against the men and women of the U.S. military, fighting and dying in the sands of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan on behalf of us all.
There is no guarantee that Mr. Mohammed and his co-conspirators will plead guilty, as in the case of Zacarias Moussaoui, whose prosecution nevertheless took four years, and who is currently attempting to recant that plea. Their attorneys will be given wide latitude to mount a defense that turns the trial into a shameful circus aimed at vilifying agents of the CIA for alleged acts of “torture,” casting the American government and our valiant military as a force of evil instead of a force for good in places of the Muslim world where Al Qaeda and the Taliban are waging a brutal war against them and the local populations. For the families of those who died on September 11, the most obscene aspect of giving Constitutional protections to those who planned the attacks with the intent of inflicting maximum terror on their victims in the last moments of their lives will be the opportunities this affords defense lawyers to cast their clients as victims.
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators are asking to plead guilty, now, before a duly-constituted military commission. Mr. President, the families of their victims have a right to know, why don’t you let them?

It is not surprising to see all these people feeling the fear.All of these comments and letters are exactly what so many of us are feeing.I could say ditto to all of it. I have had this fear that Obama IS destroying our country from within. We will wake up one day and we will be totally controlled by Obama and his people without even knowing what happened. And it is not far away. What is happening to us? We the people have no say in what is going on,nor does Obama listen to the people when they do speak.He is working for us?…that is a joke.He has only been in office 10 months and look at what destruction of America and its people he has done. I am scared like I have never been of an American president. Not a good feeling.We can only hope and pray.
Dear Scared and other Concerned Americans,
I feel the same way you do about this and many other issues, however I have learned that the best way to successfully fight back against the tyranny and corruption is to get involved in a STATE-LEVEL conservative organization such as a tea party or 912 group that is linked to other long-established groups who understand how to affect change within the state legislature. It is surprisingly easy to learn about effective ways to make a huge difference on many issues, but the key is to keep your efforts within your own state. When states become strong, so shall Washington become! When families are strong, so is the community!
These established groups are teaching citizens exactly what they can do to save our country. They have knowledge on legislative topics we’ve never even heard of, and many years of experience that most of us do not have. What they need are patient, dedicated foot soldiers – you and me – who can assist or relieve them of some of their duties and help lobby as citizens, organize rallies, set up meetings, and recruit more concerned citizens in order to change, repeal, or create legislation that will shore us up and replace our DC legislators in the 2010 elections! That’s how we stop Obama and his regime! Focus on the issues in your own state – you’ll be amazed at how easy it really is to get involved and create change, and you’ll meet the greatest people on earth – freedom loving Americans! God Bless…
For myself, I can not believe what is taking place in the White House. It is not American in anyway, shape or form. My dad is almost 86 and he wrote a letter to the Democrat Headquaters and told them that the Democrats of today are not the Democrats of yesterday when they were for the working people and he said some more. The Democrats of today are not for America.
As for the way Obama is treating the terrorists, well that speaks for itself and what he really believes in. I would think that he would care more for his children’s future if they remain living in America which was founded on principles that the man who was elected President of the United States of America seems to not have a clue about.
I think he needs to take his change and move back to where he was born or raised.
Those innocent people who were killed on America’s soil on 911 remains alive only as long as things like this letter are kept alive, or it will go down in the History books our kids will read in the future printed as a different story as with the history books that have been changed to a “new story”. The real story and the whys will be changed into a socialist story due to what is taking place in our government now.
Obama, quit playing the games, terrorists are terrorists and they kill, maime and destroy in the name of Allah whom you know about and follow. The terrorists who live in America that are in hiding now will soon most likely start to surface, just like in Ft Hood, then what, are you going to give them a break, tell people not to jump to conclusions? Come on, face the reality of what is taking place and stop bowing to them and all the others, and stop your putting America down in front of the world and foreign governments. Stop apologizing and acting like we are at fault for how the world is, we are not the problem. How much money has been given to other countries in the world to help feed them, medicine given out, and so much more that has come from America and our pockets.
I hope all those who were sucked into the lies about change and now are finding out that change meant into a socialist government with the Shere (sorry I do not know how to spell it) money system will wake up and start to realize what they did to America.
Upset, yes I am, my dad and all the others who were in the Service from the beginning and fought in wars up to this day did not do that for America to become socialist nation. There is not such thing in our Constitution that has anything to do with seperation of church and state, it is in the Russian Constitution. And now with the contents of this letter that spells it out, something needs to be done and done now.
We can not forget 911.
My family were Democrats 20 years ago, then we became Independents, and now we are Republicans. The democratic party has become the Socialist Party of America and betrayed the American people. It is a sad day for America. We the people must unite against all politicians whatever the party that doesn’t respect our constitution. We have a Neo-Marxist and his Czars currently running the country. Check out Tea Party and get enlightened, its worse than you think!
President Obama’s desire to “make nice” with our enemies is a failure from the gitgo.He cannot even bring himself to say “War on Terror”. He must be living in a pre 9/11 mentality. This is a great way to provide a forum for these [deleted] to spread their hate and lies at our further expense financially and emotionally. President Obama has surely dealt a serious blow to the hearts of millions of Americans with this politically driven decision. Shame on him for bringing these vermin to our shores.
GOD BLESS AMERICA..
STOP SOCIALISM.. OPPOSE GOVERNMENT TAKEOVER OF OUR LIVES.
Amen. Right on! Lets educate the less informed. Fight for freedom!!
I would like to know how the gov… knows whats best for me and my family. Only I know whats best for my family… Stop spending our money. ether send troops to afganastane or bring them home..OBAMA I KNOW IN 2012 YOU AND YOUR CONGRESS WILL BE GONE THANK GOD…..GOD BLESS AMERICA MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL….I CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT WHAT PISSES ME OFF I HOPE ALL AMERICANS STICK TOGETHER AND FIGHT THIS GOV………
As far as Obama goes… This imposter is a child doing a real man’s/woman’s job!
The only good thing that can happen by obama’s insistance trying the terrorists in a civil court may be that a lot more people will begin to see that our President doesn’t care about the US or it’s citizens…I hope this costs him and any politician that supports him a lot of votes in the next election.
Amen. Vote them out!!!!
These proceedings are designed more around the concept of a classroom than a courtroom. The terrorists will be the lecturers and the students will be the attentive World aided and abetted by the proctors from the mainstream media. Water boarding, Guantanamo Bay, CIA evidence gathering techniques and the Bush Administration will be the primary subject matter designed to teach us more about where the West went wrong rather than the tragic day that started it all.
To all Media: PLEASE continue to interview the elected officials who defend this so that their participation in the decision to hold the coming circus can’t be “spun” when the elections come. We won’t forget. We’ll replay and report THEIR words to the public verbatim.
We should give obama a lesson on our constitution. He seems to not understand that this country is a democracy and not a socialist state.The politicians should all be brought to trial for ignorace.
You are right. This what ever he is, I won’t call him president, does not even respect our constitution. We have to throw this thing and Pelosi, and Reid OUT!!!
How can they do this to the 9/11 victims and families and to Daniel Pearl’s family?
WHY SHOULD THESE MURDERERS HAVE A RIGHT TO A FAIR TRIAL?? ARE THEY KIDDING OR WHAT?
We knew that this Administration would be bad but few imagined it would be this bad. When you are a true believer with certain convictions regarding your dislike for American values have the courage to address them directly and not on the backs of the victims and survivors of the worst domestic tragedy in American history. For many it was impossible to witness the reenactment of the film version of the events of that day and now we are supposed to painlessly stare at every imaginable re-examination of an event once considered unimaginable before it occurred. In one case we are dealing with a cult of the demented, in another we are dealing with the highest legal authority in America. The monsters that created this carnage did so in the name of God while reopening the wounds and minds of those affected is now being done in the name of the law. As this trial progresses I have the feeling that the distinction between the terrorists, their defense attorneys and those responsible for bringing this theater into America will become less and less apparent.
Obama isn’t my president, he is a disgrace to our country. How dare him bring these terrorists to our country! Why should they spend our tax dollars to try these murderes in our courts. Is the president out of his mind!!! We have more important things to spend our tax dollars on than these thugs. Leave them where they are or…. What about the families of the 9/11 victims? Does he even care about them and how they feel?
They need to be tried by Military Tribunal…PERIOD! And don’t kill them…make them live out their lives, that will prevent them from being martyrs! AND BTW, AMERICANS DON’T BOW TO ANYONE!
This administration continues to try to break the spirit and heart Of the citizens of America…
We do not need to worry about terrorists we have the Obama Administration….that is terrorizing the American people.
The decision to send those animals to New York is a disgrace, when I heard by heart was broken..
Obama seems to hate us!!!!!!!
.
It seems “our president” is more concerned about upsetting the followers of allah, than his own people. Stimulus money was sent to China to create 3,000 jobs for the chinese people, (Was this part of the jobs the White House says it created or saved?) Associated press released that Obama visited his half-brother in China this week. Now we are expected to believe that the people who murdered our citizens on 9/11 deserve the same rights put into place by our Christian Founding Fathers in the Constitution of the United States. These killers are not even citizens of our country. They DO NOT have constitutional rights.
Mr Obama Never Forget What are you thinking putting the people of NY in danger by having the terrorist in our courts. And stop your Bowing Have some respect for our country if not yourself. 2010and 2012 will not come fast enough for me or Our Country.
God HELP America! Please save us from this very present evil – our very own leaders with their radical agendas. We have only begun to fight!
Terrorists should be tried in a military court!!! Our President has this completely wrong as everthing else he has done.
I get totally depressed every time I turn the news on and there is something else that gets to me. We were just fine until Obama came along. The thing that gets to me is the fact that he knows how we feel, how disappointed we are in him, but he chooses to ignore us completely. My idea of what he is doing goes something like this: He is loading up the debt and expects us to pay for it all. I believe he is doing this to make paupers out of us…then he will be in control. He can tell us what to eat, what to wear, or whatever else he thinks about. I have 4 grandsons, one who will graduate next year, and grandma and grandpa will certainly help them with college (at least that’s what we planned)…but I believe Obama’s plan is totally different..he will make us broke first…and give the money to those who are too lazy to go to work…and our money will be theirs. If we have a little savings account, it is because we worked hard and did without to save up a little money, which is more than I can say about those who are looking for handouts instead of looking for a job. This is not right!
Well, let’s not give up. There is our God who has always taken care of us, and he is watching…he can see all the corruption that is happening..and I know he is not too pleased with that ..and when he is ready, look out….the crew from the White House can go ahead and pray to be spared……too late!
too late…too late!
The idea of bringing the terrorists here to stand trial in [what might be, had it been rebuilt] the shadow of the World Trade Center has nothing to do with justice.
This is the only way this administration will be able to put the Bush administration and its policies on trial.
George W. Bush has been loathed by the left since the 2000 election….this is their chance to get back at them.
Atty Gen Eric Holder made an interesting statement today. He said that the families of the victims of 9/11,
AND THE FAMILIES OF THE VICTIMS OF THE ATTACK OF THE USS COLE had waited far too long for justice….
Didn’t the attack on the Cole occur on Oct. 12, 2000?
Wasn’t William Jefferson Clinton president at that time? Wasn’t Eric Holder assistant Atty. General at that time? Isn’t Holder responsible [in part] for the duration of suffering on the part of the families of those slaughtered on the Cole?
These people are absolutely shameless and devoid of conscience, their attempt to bring these people here to be tried by our courts, with the rights and privileges of American citizens is just a ‘dog and pony show’.
Wake up, everybody, they care not one iota for the safety and security of this country. ALL of this has only to do with their manic desire to be omnipotent.
I hope to God that Nov. 2010 will not be too late.
THE GOV’T IS NOW THE TERRORIST…….
Our white house has been infiltrated. Our congressmen are greedy and not doing their jobs.
I have lived in Manhattan all of my life. Two of my husband’s cousins lost their young wives at the World Trade Center on 9/11. One of them was 7 months pregnant. They both worked for Cantor Fitzgerald in the North Tower. I have since met many of the 9/11 families. They and all of us who witnessed the attacks, smelled the burning bodies for months afterwards, those whose loved ones paid the ultimate price for the rescue attempts and cleanup, will NEVER be the same.
My husband and I were mortified to find out that the mastermind of this heinous attack, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, and four other terrorists would be tried in Manhattan as civilians.The only way justice can be served is to try these animals as the War Criminals they are, by military tribunal. How dare they be allowed the same rights and privileges as an American citizen!! They are NOT petty criminals. They are NOT even murderers.THIS WAS CLEARLY AN ACT OF WAR. I am warning you they will make a mockery of our legal system and exploit the media circus to the max. Never underestimate them. They will use this to recruit Jihadists for their cause, both domestically and internationally.
Mr. Holder will be putting our great city in even more mortal danger. The cost of security in and around New York City will further bankrupt our manpower and financial resources.
Worst of all, the 9/11 families who crave justice will be sorely disappointed. The CIA and its interrogation techniques (which clearly prevented more attacks) will be put on trial, NOT the War Criminals responsible for the death of thousands of innocents.
We must do everything in our power to prevent this assault on our city, our great country and its citizens. Atty. General Holder and President Obama must be held accountable for this unforgivable act perpetrated on the American people. WE WILL NEVER FORGET.
I feel as if I am living in a nightmare and really want to wake up in America again.
This trial is not only obscene, but dangerous. Eric Holder must be made to step down from his position. He has ignored common sense and the rule of law.
He was part of the pardoning of FLAN members, Rich and did not prosecute the Black Panthers in Philadelphia for voter intimidation. Now he is endangering the whole of NY and making a mockery of JUSTICE again.
I pray to God each day for this country.
You and your entire administration are a disgrace, Mr. Obama.
Thank you for this petition to address our grievances.God Bless America.
The fix is in. Both the President and the AG have declared that guilty verdicts are guaranteed. How do you do that without a lot of jury tampering? Why have a trial if the verdict is pre-determined? This whole thing is a joke, on US! Why don’t they just tell us they’ve already picked and paid off the jury, because that’s sure what this sounds like!
My son is a Marine who joined the Corp. because he felt a responsibility to defend our Nation against terrorist after the 9/11 attacks. What kind of leader puts our sons and daughters lives at risk while protecting the enemy who is killing them, and has killed our citizens. My son took an oath to protect and defend our nation agaist all enemies both foreign and domestic and so did Obama. How can you expect those in your command to fullfill their oaths with courage and honor, and self sacrifice when you aren’t willing to do the same. Our freedom and security is in jepordy and you continue to want to play politics at the expense of our husbands, wives, sons, and daughters. You will have blood on your hands. This is a disgrace and goes against everything our ancestors fought and died for.
Obama and the AG Holder do not care about America or Americans. They want to embarrass the Bush Administration and make a mockery of our Judicial System.
I truely believe that Obama WANTS Chaos through out the land.
The financial price tag will be well in excess of $75 MILLION dollars, NYC will be a total nightmare.
STOP THIS NOW. KSM has pleaded QUILTY. HANG HIM at GITMO
IMPEACH 0BAMA NOW
Why is it necessary to put our country on trial? These people attacked us and killed innocents and now the present administration wants to make the country guilty and prescribe rights to the terrorists. I presume the president will make appologies as soon as the trials are over, telling the world how bad we were to defend ourselves!
oboma didnt inheret this did he
With all due respect Mr. President I think that you and the Congress have lost your minds.
I worked in lower Manhattan on 9/11/2001 – - and it was a horror to put it mildly. Innocent people died that day in New York City, a Pennsylvania field and the Pentagon, because of the crazies that committed a war of aggression on the United States of America, not the President (who you blamed for everything even when he had nothing to do with it), buy against “we the people”. You have made a really bizarre decision to hold the trial in New York City, haven’t the people in the metropolitan area suffered enough. Why not do the trial in D.C.? Oh no that would inconvenience and maybe cause danger to the pathetic Congress and and czars, but let’s smack New York again again and again, we have not suffered enough. We gave the country innocent our citizens and other citizens forged ahead to safe them and died heroes, but that was not enough for you bureaucrats.
Please wake up and smell the coffee before it is too late, or maybe that is what you folks want down in la la land.
Pat Conran
The President and the Administration never lost their minds. This was the mindset of these communists from the get go. They take you down from the inside using your own education systems, media, planes, box cutters and institutions of justice. Even those who voted for these kooks never lost their minds because you cannot enthusiastically vote this way and have any semblance of functional neural tissue to begin with. This trial is designed to legitimize losing the war in Afghanistan no matter how many troops he sends to satisfy critics.
Of all the decisions that the Obama Administration has made, this is probably the worst one yet (and that’s saying a lot). There is NO reason in the world why these terrorists should be tried here in America. NONE. Obama and Eric Holder have clearly demonstrated that they care more about the “rights” of these terrorists than they care about the victims of 9/11/01. This is ridiculous.
My father was a foot soldier in WW11 and all he had was a rifle to protect his family against the take over of the world by a tyrannical dictator. He won the battle along with thousands of others with rifles and the determination to fight for justice. My rifle is this piece of paper. The bullets I use are the words of truth and justice promoting freedom for all which I have scrolled on this page and on others in letters to our Congressmen and Senators. This petition along with our bullets on other messages boards will bring light to our beliefs. The noise of enough words can and will suppress the enemies of freedom and support our stand on justice for the 9/11 attack. Use your guns and ammunition every chance you get. WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! CALL!
