Do Obama and Congress Want You To Forget 9/11?
Three weeks from now will be the eighth anniversary of that horrible day that the world changed; September 11, 2001. And it it clear by the actions of our government that they want the citizens of the US to forget what happened in NY and Pennsylvania and the Pentagon that day.
President Barack Obama is asking Americans to volunteer on Sept. 11, making this year's anniversary of the terror attacks the first National Day of Service and Remembrance, organizers announced Thursday.A national day of service may very well be an appropriate way to celebrate 9/11. Especially if it was service in a way that promotes freedom and liberty. But the president and his flock is talking about using the day to talk about promoting green jobs and other things in the POTUS agenda. This politicization blurs the importance of remembering what happened on that day.
"Our ultimate goal is to leave a positive legacy that honors the victims and those who rose in service," said David Paine, the president of MyGoodDeed, one of the organizations responsible for the event.
"We hope to rekindle the spirit of unity and compassion that followed the terrorist attacks," he told a news conference near the site of the World Trade Center.
Paine joined other members of the 9/11 community to unveil a national campaign to build support for the privately funded effort. They urged volunteers to use a Web site launched Thursday that shares service projects and opportunities throughout the country.
Volunteers may choose any kind of activity, from working in a Harlem community garden and mentoring school children to performing music.
