He was trapped on a tilting school bus in the recent Minnesota bridge collapse with a bunch of kids and rose to the challenge of the chaos by kicking out the back door and leading them all to safety. The media loves a good hero story and Jeremy has been getting buffeted by accolades, interview requests, and gifts. He's been offered free tuition at a car repair tech school (he had had to drop out of a program because he couldn't afford the $15k/year costs). The best part of this whole thing (you know, besides all the kids he saved) is that when the White House called him about a photo op with our stupid president, he had one simple word for them. "Nope". Much respect to Jeremy Hernandez. ]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.planetsave.com/blog/2007/08/09/bridge-collapse-hero-turns-down-white-house-photo-op Thu, 13 Sep 2007 17:35:18 -0700 http://cstone18.stumbleupon.com/review/12604106/ cstone18 - Yes, YES!!!!! Mr. Jeremy Hernandez saved the entire world by turning down a photo-op with the president. I demand all responsible people of the world to turn down all photo-ops to do as the web site says and "planetsave."

But I know how they feel, we cheered when Randy Shugarts father refused to shake shit bag Bill Clinton's hand after his sons Medal of Honor ceremony.

"After awarding the Medals of Honor to two widows, [Clinton] invited the families to the Oval Office for a moment of quiet reflection. It was a classic Clinton gesture; thoughtful, full of compassion. The President approached Herbert Shugart, the father of Randall Shugart, and held his hand out. To his astonishment, the handshake was declined. ``The blame for my son's death rests with the White House and you. You are not fit to command.'' Clinton reeled under the onslaught, which continued for several moments. As Commander in Chief, President Clinton could have simply accepted responsibility for the loss and sympathized with a grieving father. Instead, he took fifteen minutes out of his schedule to explain to Herbert Shugart why the death of his son was not his fault. It was a craven performance that horrified the Pentagon officials who were present. Immediately after the meeting, White House officials tried to keep the incident quiet and it was successfully suppressed until the story appeared in the London Sunday Times."]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.planetsave.com/blog/2007/08/09/bridge-collapse-hero-turns-down-white-house-photo-op Tue, 21 Aug 2007 19:11:08 -0700 http://pixiequix.stumbleupon.com/review/12001104/ pixiequix -
I love it!

Minnesota resident, Jeremy Hernandez, has received a lot of attention lately for his heroic deeds. He managed to rescue a school bus full of children during the hectic aftermath of a recent bridge collapse. And adding to his greatness recently, when the White House called asking for a photo-op with the President and this genuine working class hero, his calm reply was simply: "Nope."]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.planetsave.com/blog/2007/08/09/bridge-collapse-hero-turns-down-white-house-photo-op Tue, 21 Aug 2007 16:37:02 -0700 http://dbluez.stumbleupon.com/review/11997914/ dbluez - From the page: "Bridge Collapse Hero turns down White House Photo Op"]]> http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.planetsave.com/blog/2007/08/09/bridge-collapse-hero-turns-down-white-house-photo-op
