| First, Heidi, I wanted to commend you for an extraordinary documentary. It literally brought me out of the seat in my living room aghast at what I was watching and hearing. I don't remember breathing in for most of it and in fact recall clenching my teeth and sucking in air at the horror of the information you presented. I had been struggling with a need to commemorate the anniversary in some way other than feeling the sorrow that I did. I wanted somehow to feel like as a nation we were drawing together once again as we did that day and for months and months after to strengthen our resolve never to let this happen again. I wanted to feel our world stop and appreciate the sacrifice made by all involved and promise to be better people tomorrow and from here on to carry on for those who can not. Instead, what I feel now is a blinding rage, a humiliation and disgust that we as a nation could treat the thousands of people who did what few could have done the way that we have. I will never forget this story and I want to know what I can do to make sure everyone sees this film. I plan to e-mail all of my friends, families and colleagues and encourage them to find any means possible to view this film. I plan to write senators, state representatives and congressmen to demand an investigation but most importantly to demand these people be taken care of. Not left to die under mountains of bills, bureaucracy and lies. I encourage anyone who reads my message to do whatever you can to spread the word about this information. Knowledge is Power and there IS Safety in Numbers-the more people who speak out regarding this, the more attention will be brought to it. If 99% of Hollywood can back Bono and the One Campaign, there are certainly plenty who would consider supporting a campaign to help support the people who worked tirelessly to heal this wound. To bring closure to thousands of families. To bring New York back to it's feet. We owe them everything for the work they did in putting the dead to rest. They handled what few humans should ever be asked to handle. To anyone out there reading this: LET'S ROLL! | |
