The Lower Manhattan Development Corp (LMDC) is starting to bend under pressure from many citizens who shudder at the thought of the WTC site being politicized.

The International Freedom Center (say it with sarcasm) is an abomination and needs to be stopped. Here's a chance to do it.

E-Mail the LMDC and give 'em your thoughts. I did a short while ago. I told 'em that the IFC in an awful idea. I said that although I'm sure there is a place for self-loathing and white liberal guilt, Ground Zero is not that place!

C'mon, we can do this! There are many of us out there. Let's be heard on this.

BTW, sign the online petition at htp://www.takebackthe memorial.com too.

Sorry folks. I got over-excited about this and forgot to give you the link to contact the LMDC. Here it is:

this could be good news - I know that Pataki had spoken out against this, let's see the details, usually these NY "agency" creations answer to no one.

Just start calling it what it really is (or is proposed to be)

"The KMAA Memorial Center"

From today's New York Post:

Drawing Center Penciling Itself Out of Plans

by Leonard Greene

It could be back to the drawing board for the controversial Drawing Center.

The edgy downtown museum has gone from preparing to move to Ground Zero, once construction there is complete, to considering pulling out of the site altogether, according to a published report.

The museum has been criticized by relatives of some 9/11 victims who say cultural displays---especially those critical of the United States---have no place at the hallowed site.

Catherine de Zegher, The Drawing Center's executive director, is waiting to hear from the Lower Manhattan Development Corp. about how much freedom the museum would have at the site.

"The LMDC knows we would never be able to accept censorship," she told Crain's New York.

The Drawing Center, one of four cultural institutions chosen a year ago to move to Ground Zero, was attacked last month over an exhibit at its SoHo gallery satirizing President Bush's "axis of evil" comments.

Another of the four, the Freedom Center, has been similarly criticized over programming plans deemed unpatriotic. But it has assured the LMDC that is content will not be un-American.

The Drawing Center's refusal to make such a promise has riled critics.

"We just want them to represent people who died that day," said Sonia Bonomo, whose daughter, Yvette, 30, perished on 9/11.

KEEP UP THE PRESSURE, FOLKS!

The DUAC (DemoncRatic Underwear Activist Commitee) over in the DUmpster wrote, at last count yesterday, 564 letters in 6 days to editors of the newsrags protesting the Karl Rove non-story. Let's make 'em look like sissies when it comes to protesting something that is  vastly more important to the American people than their whining and sniveling.

 

Email your friends, everyone at work, relatives, etc. Get the word out! This has a chance now to be stopped. If we flood them with our complaints they will have no choice but to listen! This cannot be allowed to stand. IMHO this is an insult to the families who lost loved ones on 9/11.
