9/11 families issue call to action
Remember what I said when Obama/Holder announced the 9/11 show trials:
If this White House thought Tea Party activists were an “angry mob,” wait until they see the backlash from 9/11 family members and their supporters nationwide.

Dear Supporter,
Last Wednesday, a group of 9/11 family members and New York first responders attended the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in which Attorney General Eric Holder testified about his decision to prosecute Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and the 9/11 co-conspirators in a New York City federal court. Mr. Holder stumbled through several tough and pointed questions about the dangers of giving war criminals the same rights as American citizens and blurring the mission of our war fighters. He was visibly unnerved by the presence of the families and the first responders. We want to keep the pressure on him, as well as President Obama, who we were shocked to learn was AWOL on this reckless decision.
Nearly two weeks ago we sent a letter signed by 300 family members to President Obama, AG Holder and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. After Mr. Holder’s announcement last Friday, another 120,000 people (as of today) have signed the letter in support of our position. Many of these individuals are family members from all three attack sites, active & retired FDNY, PAPD & NYPD, first responders from throughout the country and active, reserve and retired members of the military.
We are holding a press conference on Tuesday, November 24, at noon in Battery Park, Clinton Castle for the 9/11 families and first responders/survivors. We chose to hold it on Thanksgiving Week in the hope that our fellow Americans will join us in sending our prayers and messages of thanks to our troops and first responders, who bear the brunt of the decisions made in Washington. At that time we will announce the details for a large rally in New York City on Saturday, December 5, at noon at a location to be announced at the press conference.
Going forward, we think it is important that the rally be tightly focused on the issues of keeping 9/11 war crimes trials out of civilian courts, keeping foreign terrorists off U.S. soil, and reversing the policy of returning to pre-9/11 days when the U.S. Government responded to deadly terrorist attacks with arrest warrants.
Please stay tuned as we release more information in the next few days.

Kinda like the OJ trial – ON STEROIDS.
OneMonkeysUncle-
You liberals are always clamoring for ‘justice’ to be served and you also have a bias to despise our legal system in favor of ‘international’ law.
Okay then, I’ve found something that ought to satisfy you on BOTH of those counts! Yes, let’s give them a fair trial by international standards that have already been established and successfuly implemented in the past.
Let’s hear your problem with that…
Shoot them; under Rule .303
Exhibit A of why it’s a chore to try to reason with any hate-filled, anti-American liberal like OMU.
Man, OMU, it’s just too easy to point out your hypocrisy. It wasn’t a “crime” it was an act of war. It’s really too bad you can’t understand the difference. I’m sorry, but until you CONSULT the 9/11 families about how they feel about all this, your feelings (or mine) really don’t matter. You’d rather cuddle terrorists, hold their hands, and sing kumbaya while the country burns. All in the name of “showing” the world how magnanimous and “fair” our country is.
You have a misplaced sense of trust in our justice system. It’s overloaded as it is where criminals get more rights than the victims. When even members of the jury are ill-prepared or ill-educated to handle a trial that is part of their civic participation. Where money talks and psychos like OJ walk.
I STILL don’t think you know the true extent of the loss brought on by 9/11. Your ideology and devotion to PC truisms like “cuddle a terrorist, feel better about thyself” come first. And let me see if I got this right… the right wing blowhards have a Team America World Police attitude? Perhaps, you should consult your almighty Bubba Clinton in that regard. I think Somalia and Kosovo come to mind.
Yet again proving that America doesn’t come first only the goals of the Dem party (only second to the Repubs) to destroy this country until it’s no longer recognizeable. Good for you.
