Take the Memorial Back E-mail-2

Here is an e-mail I received from WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS!

*Every day more and more people sign our petition and the "big money" special interests behind the International Freedom Center are running scared! The World Trade Center Memorial Foundation announced that they are "taking one last look around" for alternative sites for the IFC and the Drawing Center.
While this is likely a delaying tactic, make no mistake: that "one last look around" must continue until it results in the removal of the IFC and the Drawing Center from Ground Zero. We do not view this decision as "one last look around" - we view this as the last chance for the IFC and the Drawing Center to find a home. These magnets for controversy cannot remain there and we will not rest until they are removed.

For more progress updates, see:
One Down, One to Go? {Take Back the Memorial}
Eric Foner Quits as IFC Adviser {Take Back the Memorial}

This certainly is good news! As she has stated, though, we cannot rest.

PETITION UPDATE

*To date we have 38,500 signatures on the Take Back the Memorial petition, including almost 2,000 9/11 Family Members! We are making good progress but we need your help!

Here are some things you can do:

*SPREAD THE WORD AND HELP GATHER SIGNATURES!

*WRITE A LETTER TO THE EDITOR

newspaper and tell them about the plans to turn the memorial at ground zero into a political forum.

This is a long e-mail, so I will provide the rest in another post. Thank you so much for all your help ahead of time. I certainly am blessed. I have the greatest team! Have a great day.
