NY construction workers won't work on the mosque
A growing number of New York construction workers are vowing not to work on the mosque planned near Ground Zero.One has to wonder though if the Obama-worshiping union bosses will have something to say about this. For now, this is a very remarkable show of speaking out and making clear that Americans will not be subservient to those who would destroy them.
"It's a very touchy thing because they want to do this on sacred ground," said Dave Kaiser, 38, a blaster who is working to rebuild the World Trade Center site.
"I wouldn't work there, especially after I found out about what the imam said about U.S. policy being responsible for 9/11," Kaiser said.
The grass-roots movement is gaining momentum on the Internet. One construction worker created the "Hard Hat Pledge" on his blog and asked others to vow not to work on the project if it stays on Park Place.
"Thousands of people are signing up from all over the country," said creator Andy Sullivan, a construction worker from Brooklyn. "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."
Update: there's a special t-shirt sold here that opposes the mosque.
