Congressman Tightwad
We had a turning point happen on 9/11. A point where there will never be another hijacked plane in this country. The American Male will say "Never Again" and charge into the muzzle of a gun if need be. That started on Flight 93.
The men who charged the terrorists are all heros. They should be honored with laurels and accolades for years to come. They proved the true nature of the American Male. We don't acquiesce, we don't negotiate, we don't wait for someone to rescue us. We get up and kick ass.
And now, Congressman Charles Taylor, R-NC, is opposing the formation of a memorial to the brave souls of Flight 93.
Multiple messages left Tuesday at Taylor's congressional and campaign offices by The Associated Press were not returned. The Washington Post, which reported on the issue Tuesday, said Taylor believes no more tax dollars should be used to buy federal land for memorials.
The men of Flight 93 were just as brave as the heros of NYPD and FDNY. They charged in when others would have run away and they paid with their lives. You can say they were dead either way, but I prefer to say they tried to take back what was theirs.
This monument should be just as important as Mount Rushmore, the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall, and a dozen more historical sights. It shows the world just what Americans can do when they put their minds and hearts to it.
Write this idiot an email and tell (politely) tell him to back, not oppose this funding request.
