Firemen To Rudy: Stay Home

The International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) will hold a bipartisan candidates forum later this month. All but one candidate is invited. Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the hero of 9/11, has been told by the national firefighters' union not to pursue their support, because he will never get it. Quote:

"The fundamental lack of respect that Giuliani showed our FDNY members is unforgivable - and that's why he was not invited. Our disdain for him is not about issues or a disputed contract, it is about a visceral, personal affront to the fallen, to our union and, indeed, to every one of us who has ever risked our lives by going into a burning building to save lives and property," states the release.
