A group of New York construction workers have pledged not to take part in the building of the proposed mosque near New York City's Ground Zero.

The supporters of the "9/11 Hardhat Pledge" are planning to attend a rally protesting the construction of the $100 million Islamic center on Sunday, August 22.

The rally, which is being sponsored by The Coalition to Honor Ground Zero, will also include is the families members of the firefighters and other victims who lost their lives in the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

"The Coalition to Honor Ground Zero, the 9/11 Families and first responders are heartened by the support of the many patriots from around America who will be joining the Coalition on Sunday to seek the truth about this mosque, its Imam, and his financial supporters," said Tim Brown, a firefighter who was at the World Trade Center Towers on 9/11.

According to The Post Chronicle, Brown lost 93 friends that day.

"Thousands of people are signing up from all over the country," Andy Sullivan, a construction worker from Brooklyn, told The New York Daily News. "People who sell glass, steel, lumber, insurance. They are all refusing to do work if they build there."

"Hopefully, this will be a tool to get them to move it," he said. "I got a problem with this ostentatious building looming over Ground Zero."

The 911 Hard Hat Pledge

The 911 Hard Hat Pledge

Andy Sullivan of Blue Collar Corner, is the field supervisor of a huge east coast construction firm. He has initiated the 911 Hard Hat Pledge in response to our spineless elected officials and civic leaders who have betrayed the people of New York in their opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque.

According to a Siena poll, 61% of New Yorkers are opposed, and 26% support the Cordoba House, a 13-story mosque to be built two blocks from Ground Zero on top of the ashes of the 3000 innocent lives and tragic heroes murdered in the September 11 terrorist attack. Mr. Sullivan is calling on all union and non-union tradesmen to make the pledge and refuse to work on the proposed mosque site or accept any associated contracts. He blogged the message:

"To my readers please send me your names if you will make the 911 pledge and refuse to participate in the building of the Ground Zero Mosque. Go to my message board and state your trade or job that you do and join us. Our leaders are failing us it’s up to us. I want my children to grow up in a nation of pride and freedom but as was once told to me freedom only comes at great cost. God bless you all and God Bless America!"

Please go to Blue Collar Corner and take the pledge and distribute this to your friends and associates in the construction and manufacturing trades. Our deepest gratitude goes to all the patriotic Americans who have already signed on and pledged not to participate in the construction of the mosque, which is a symbol of the triumph of Islamic supremacism over freedom. We know that America will remain free and strong by the responses of the red-blooded patriots in the construction trades who have pledged not to work on the site even though they may be unemployed at the time. Freedom is not free and this is the time to stand up for freedom.

God bless you all.

More jobs Americans won't do?

[HAL 9000 96]

Yeah no bigotry indeed.

Maybe someone else will get the money for it then. Their loss.

[BobandXiaomei 14]

Yeah, they won't unless they don't have work someplace else.

[Danno 1,228]

Who knew we had so many bigots in NY.

Absolutely ridiculous. And my husband is always assuring me that these views aren't there outside of the media.

This is what someone on Facebook (a friend of my MIL) has posted in response to someone asking what was solved by America going to war in Iraq:

Well, have we had over 3,000 people die again in one day from another attack? Not to mention all who will die as a direct result of that attack, from the lung and blood diseases they developed from the contamination. Have you spoken to a soldier who came from Iraq or Afghanistan and told how the people--the common people-- are so grateful they do not live in abject fear any more? Have you seen how little girls are allowed to attend school in Afghanistan?

I still say bring every soldier from around the world home, since so many people are anti-war. Place around every mile of our contiguous United States and guard our borders. Then we will solve the problem of illegal immigration and be able to ensure the safety of the US citizens.

While we are at it, keep all our money here. Stop sending foreign aid and jobs to other countries. Then our economy will be fixed and we can pay off our national debt. Really, what are we supposed to be, our brothers keeper?

Most of that isn't relevant to the terrorism/9/11, but I am so fed up with right-wing fear and extremism.

Look how the UK has turned out with this pandering. Not exactly something to write home about now is it.

SO the London bombings, Bali Bombings, the failed NYC car bomb, the failed attempt to blow up trans-Atlantic planes, the attack on the pentagon and the destruction of two towers in this country was paranoia was it?

Thankfully people more in tune with reality are looking out for our safety, than with people out of touch with the world outside the west. People who clearly assume coffee and biscuits is the norm abroad.

I think going to Iraq was a bad move, but I am not going to deny the real and imminent threat to western countries. All it takes is one nuke and hundreds of thousand will have their lives destroyed. While you might be willing to risk that, I'm not.

That said, building this mosque so close is poor taste, rather than any sign.

Most Americans believe that going into Iraq was a mistake. Hindsight is 20/20.

And Im fed up with the lefties down playing extremism in Islam.

[Heracles 417]

It's lefty cities that are most likely going to be attacked anyway. Perhaps, they should be the ones fighting these wars, rather than the conservatives they frown upon.

I'm not a lefty. Please explain, what is the extremism in Islam?

[The_Dude 1,142]

That is only because 99% of liberals knew dubya was lying his ####### off to justify the war.

Ok most lefties and some of the good guys/girls. As far as extremism goes that would be people who use the religion for death and destruction.
