Karl Rove and the Republicans think that they own 9/11. They have made it a strategy to demonize and delegitimize Democrats and liberals by using the horrible events of September 11, 2001 to attack our character, our judgment, and our honor.
Ignoring their own failures in the defense of our nation, brushing aside their own catastrophic errors of judgment, they seek to use one of the greatest modern tragedies this nation has faced as a cheap political weapon. And, in so doing, they dishonor the bravery, the sacrifice, and the courage New Yorkers and other progressives displayed on 9/11 and in the months and years since.
No longer.
New Democratic Majority, a grassroots progressive organization based in New York City, believes that it's un-American to question the capacity for heroism of our fellow citizens. Instead, we chose to explore the common courage found among America's citizens and among our fellow New Yorkers, the ones whom Karl Rove chose to denigrate while he was in our city.
Americans on 9/11 is a chance for progressives to respond to demagoguery with truth: a chance for ordinary Americans - no matter their politics - to tell their 9/11 stories, and to tell Karl Rove what they think of his divisive tactics.
Share your story, and stand with the millions of people across the country - and around the world - who refuse to let such tragedy be cheapened by such a crass political agenda.
