Free Dept. of Labor "Up from Zero" DVD ~ 9-11 Propaganda?
I found this on a freebie site, and didn't see anything about it posted here in the search. Check it out

http://www.dol.gov/opa/dvd/

"“Up From Zero” is a documentary film that pays tribute to the brave men and women of the New York City building trades who put themselves on the line on September 11, 2001 – and for nine months afterward – to reclaim Ground Zero.

Thousands of these workers had converged on Lower Manhattan in the immediate aftermath of the attacks to help in the rescue, recovery, and clean up efforts at the World Trade Center. Ground Zero was the most dangerous work site in America, and these men and women worked at great personal risk. It is a tribute to their courage and skill that they completed the job ahead of schedule and without serious injuries."

end excerpt. Then there's a blurb from Elaine Chow.

What kind of election propaganda do you suppose this is? Do you think they go into the health issues that are facing the workers from Ground Zero.

Anybody gonna get one?

1. It would be nice to get this some more publicity
It would be a perfect opportunity to bring attention to the Whitehouse/EPA shennanigans that occured during the 9/11 cleanup.

2. I ordered one of these about a year ago
then I didn't hear anything until December of 2003. They said that the response was overwhelming and that the DVDs would be shipping in a week or so. I haven't got it yet. :)

3. So in other words, they're just collecting information
Getting their mailing list together to exploit 9-11 for republican fund raising efforts, no doubt.

Losers.
