National Day of Service on 9/11 (thank you Ted Kennedy)

**********

NEW YORK — 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.

"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.

The idea of establishing 9/11 as a National Day of Service was first conceived in 2001 by the founders of MyGoodDeed, a nonprofit started by friends and relatives of 9/11 victims. They are working with ServiceNation, the National September 11 Memorial & Museum and the Corporation for National and Community Service.

In April, Obama authorized the establishment of 9/11 as a National Day of Service when he signed into law the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act.

Simple things, huge impact, and fitting tributes to those who died.

Compare this to incessant scare tactics of the last 8 years.

are gonna be real productive on 9/12, they are gonna scream and shout and surround us and take back America from the majority of Americans and do whatever glen beck tells them to do, like kill liberals.

That Wacky Obama and a "day of service." Why does he hate America?

I was on freerepublic.com earlier (and no, I don't make a habit of that) and the thread there was full of comments along the lines of "Will those Muslim loving Marxist scum stop at nothing?".

You couldn't make it up.

And amazingly they will trumpet their Jesus-ness at every opportunity.
