Save America

Project 2,996 is a tribute to the victims of 9/11.

On September 11, 2006 more than 3000 bloggers joined together to remember the victims of 9/11. Each year they are honored by remembering their lives, not remembering their killers, and not trying to turn this day into something it should NOT be………….more less a self promoting National Service Day.

If you would like to help out and honor one of these precious lives who were lost so senselessly, perhaps you would pledge a post or tribute by clicking here: http://project2996.wordpress.com/what-is-2996/
You will be able to learn something about the life of the name you are given and on 9/11 and you can post your tribute. Ms. Dale Challener Rose asks that your tribute celebrate the lives of these individuals. This is a chance to celebrate those who have died. She asks you forget about the murderers since they deserve no recognition, yet the 2,996 people…… loves ones, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, husbands, wife’s, mothers, fathers, etc., who DO deserve America’s FULL attention and NOTHING less.

And yet, our Federal Governments wishes to use the memory of September 11, 2001 to coerce Americans of all ages to partake in a “national day of service” of their remembrance. So ask yourself, why 9/11….why not one of the other 364 calendar days remaining? What is the motivation for declaring 9/11 a national day of service? Shouldn’t we all be suspicious of the President with his Czars, lobbyists, Unions and his own Organizing for America? Since it is so self promoting, how about August 4th, Obama’s birthday? Or, possibly August 25th for Senator Kennedy (http://www.opencongress.org/bill/111-h1388/show) since he is behind the official Give Act of National Service?

As we have written about previously, the original Give Act H.R.1388, a legislated mandatory national service of at least a seven million civilian army working at the behest of the government, now thanks to thousands of freedom lovers around this country had the mandatory language dropped from the final version of the House and Senate Bill. But, it has quickly appeared in another bill H.R. 1444 currently making its way through the House.

And we are told this administration feels, 9/11 needs to be taken back from the “right”. The American Spectator had a piece about this, here is a taste of what it said,

“The administration’s plans were outlined in an Aug. 11 White House-sponsored teleconference call run by Obama ally Lennox Yearwood, president of the Hip Hop Caucus, and Liv Havstad, the group’s senior vice president of strategic partnerships and programs.

On the Aug. 11 call, Yearwood and other leaders kept saying repeatedly that they wanted 9/11 to be used for something “positive,” “forward-leaning,” and “productive,” said a source with knowledge of the teleconference.
The plan is to turn a “day of fear” that helps Republicans into a day of activism called the National Day of Service that helps the left. In other words, nihilistic liberals are planning to drain 9/11 of all meaning.

“They think it needs to be taken back from the right,” said the source. “They’re taking that day and they’re breaking it because it gives Republicans an advantage. To them, that day is a fearful day.”

A coalition including the unsavory left-wing pressure group Color of Change and about 60 far-left, environmentalist, labor, and corporate shakedown groups participated in the call. Groups on the call included: ACORN, AFL-CIO, Apollo Alliance, Community Action Partnership, Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, 80 Million Strong for Young American Jobs, Friends of the Earth, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Mobilize.org, National Black Police Association, National Coalition on Black Civic Participation, National Council of Negro Women, National Wildlife Federation, RainbowPUSH Coalition, Urban League, and Young Democrats of America.” You can read more here: Obama’s Plan to Desecrate 9/11

And there is more, Color of Change is the extremist racial grievance group that isn’t happy that TV’s Glenn Beck did several news packages on Van Jones, the self-described “communist” and “rowdy black nationalist” who became the president’s green jobs czar after jumping on the environmentalist bandwagon. The White House may be behind a push to destroy Beck by convincing advertisers to stop buying time on his show. Jones was also on the board of the Apollo Alliance, a hard-left environmentalist group that is now running large chunks of the Obama administration. The group has acknowledged that it dictated parts of the February stimulus bill to Congress.

With the help of the Obama administration, the coalition is launching a public relations campaign under the radar of the mainstream media — which remains almost uniformly terrified of criticizing the nation’s first black president — to try to change 9/11 from a day of reflection and remembrance to a day of activism, food banks, and community gardens.”The organizing term is to ‘go dark.’ You don’t tell the press, don’t tell people you think will tell the press,” said the source.

Of course, the annual commemoration of the 2001 terrorist attacks belongs to the entire nation, but President Obama and the activist left don’t see it that way. They view the nationwide remembrance of the murder of 3,000 Americans by Islamic totalitarians as an obstacle to winning over the hearts and minds of the American people. They are truly trying to change the American mindset.

They view Sept. 11 as a “Republican” day because it focuses the public on supposedly “Republican” issues like patriotism, national security, and terrorism. According to liberals, 9/11 was long ago hijacked by Republicans and their enablers and unfairly used to bludgeon helpless Democrats at election time. I don’t think any of the family members of the lives lost would agree.

MSNBC’s foremost left-wing bloviator, Keith Olbermann, summed up this ugly perspective the week after the Republican Party convention last year:“But 9/11 has become a brand name. A Republican campaign slogan. Propaganda of the lowest form. 9/11 has become 9/11 with a trademark logo. “9/11 TM” has sustained a president who long ago should have been dismissed, or impeached. It has kept him and his gang of financial and constitutional crooks in office without — literally — any visible means of support. “9/11 TM” has made possible the greatest sleight-of-hand in our nation’s history.”
On August Forth, the White House offered a glimpse into the plans to desecrate 9/11 for political advantage. Jones appeared in a largely ignored 33 minute video posted on the official blog of the White House to discuss the administration’s plan to flush 9/11 down the memory hole. On this National Day of Service, Jones says little except that it will be a great opportunity “for people to connect, to find other people in your group who are also passionate about repowering America but also greening up America and cleaning up America.”

This is pure desecration. You need to keep asking yourself, What is happening to America? The only partaking now is for every freedom loving, patriotic American to become engaged and do their share in helping to stop the transformation of the land of the free and home of the brave into nothing less than it has always been, the greatest nation in the world. They may try to make us forget, but we will never.
