9/11 families seek Obama, McCain salute

It'll be ummm, bizarre, to see how Ann Coultergeist responds to this.

I agree they shouldn't go after eachother personally, but I would like to hear BOTH of them speak to the event that took place. One of them will be our president and how they view the event and how they feel about the assault on our country.....well, more than a few of us would like to hear, especially on 911 anniversary. It's also my daughters b-day, and we celebrate her b-day just the same.

I have always believed that our nation was at its best after 9/11. I only wish we could bring that kind of love and loyalty to each other regardless of race, religion or politics everyday.

What is a propaganda organization, affiliated with the Department of Homeland Security, promoting an event that doesn't need promoting. Nobody is going to forget the horrific events of that day, so why is Homeland Security affiliated with this organization? I hope our government isn't financing this public relations gimmick, because I know the people of New Orleans, the people of Minnesota, the people of Florida and the people of California can all use those monies, however little they may be, to re-build their devastated communities. Once again, the Bush-Cheney administration has politicized the workings of our government, like the DOJ, and may be helping to promote an event that needs no help, in any shape or form, from our government. I hope it isn't the case, but, as we have seen in the past, this administration, this Republican administration, will use the 9/11 tragedy for almost any political advantage !! That, in and of itself, is about as low as any administration can stoop, but of course, we already know that, about this incompetent and untrustworthy administration.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

I FOUND THIS**HERE ARE SOME OF THIS GROUPS COMMENTS>

"Clearly employers play a huge role in helping to promote community service interest, and until now many have been somewhat slow to understand the importance, value and appropriateness of providing employees with opportunities, whatever they may be, to remember and observe 9/11," Paine said. "This all comes down to helping them as well as individuals fill this void, which myGoodDeed.org can do. Otherwise, if we choose to do nothing, then nothing will happen. In the end this is simply a question of whether or not we think 9/11 is important enough in our history for us to remember it in a special way."

myGoodDeed.org (www.myGoodDeed.org) is a nonprofit initiative of One Day's Pay, a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to establishing 9/11 as a national day of charitable service and good deeds. The group was formed shortly after the terrorist attacks by two friends, David Paine and Jay Winuk, who lost his brother Glenn J. Winuk in the collapse of the World Trade Center South Tower. The mission of myGoodDeed.org is supported by more than 20 leading 9/11 family member and support organizations, and by the United States Congress, which in 2004 unanimously passed H. Con. Res. 473 expressing the sense of Congress that 9/11 ought to be a nationally recognized day of voluntary service and good deeds. The group has formally requested that President George Bush designate 9/11 this year as a national day of charitable service and good deeds.

Come on, you can't offer anything else, but their PR brochures !!! Come on, get on with your reality check. What is their affiliation with the Department of Homeland Security ? Are they receiving any taxpayers' dollars to publicize 9/11!?!! As if it needs publicizing !! Only if you want to shock and awe !! That old Republican rag !!

Don-I'm Republican, and I don't agree with this group at all. I don't like the nasty way they worded their comments about companies not cooperating with this groups ideas to have them make individual allowances for people working there to acknowledge a situation that happened SEVEN YEARS AGO> this groups attempt to come in and tell us ALL that we have NOT morned this already or in the way they feel we should be, and that we need THEM to help us know how to do it, as if we are confused. ..... I find their whole approach condescending....much in the way I find Obama's Universal Volunteerism.

I don't respect them using our political election to get their foot in the door on what they are wanting to push on us.

MORE THAN ANYTHING> I don't want a constant reminder of 911. I think this country went thru HELL and most of us are glad to have it past us.

It's already a day we all recognize, lets let everyone handle their feelings on it in their own way. I plan to send this letter to McCain as well.

This group was founded in 2003-they are supported by American express co., Ambac Financial corp, Sony corp, Keefe Bruyett and Woods, AOL, Google and Yahoo. I saw no Govt money involved. ****HERE'S the part you might like>NY Senators Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer are among those on the advisory board of Good Deeds. I saw no Govt money involved.

The comment at the top of their web page says>Changing the world one good deed at a time.

They have a list of sites they support, the one I found curious had this on it>Grants for environmental and social justice advocacy for activists aged 16-22 from Earth Island Institute
Earth Island Institute is proud to give Bower Youth Awards each year to six young people, ages 16-22, for their outstanding leadership, activism, and achievements in the fields of environmental and social justice advocacy.

According to Wickapedia they say that Earth Island Institute have enjoyed significant success: a consumer-led boycott resulted in 100% of American tuna becoming dolphin safe.[2] The Earth Island Institute also provides dolphin safe certification for canned tuna producers.

The Mangrove Action Project was originally part of the Earth Island Institute, but was spun off as a separate organization in March 2007
