15 Major 9/11 Family Groups Reject LMDC Mediation Plan
New York, N.Y.—September 15, 3005—The alliance of 15 major 9/11 family organizations was stunned to learn through the media last week and not from the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation of their plans to engage in mediated talks with 9/11 family members about the presence of the International Freedom Center on the World Trade Center memorial site. According to the media, the LMDC’s stated purpose in hiring an outside mediator was to facilitate ‘conversations that might otherwise not happen.”
We hasten to point out that individual and collective members of the 9/11 family groups, along with of citizens from the Lower Manhattan community and other interested parties, have been meeting in good faith at LMDC-sponsored forums for more than three years. The last such meeting, held by the Civic Alliance for Rebuilding Lower Manhattan, took place just two days ago. If anything, the LMDC has once again demonstrated that it does not understand the difference between having meetings and actually listening to the public.
The LMDC appears not to understand that the objection, in principle, to the presence of the IFC on the World Trade Center site is no longer a matter that can be resolved by 9/11 family groups alone.

The IFC is an absolute affront to the sensibilities of most Americans. If most knew exactly what type of "museuem" the IFC was gonna be, the outcry would be loud and furious.
Freepers, have you gotten involved yet? Have you signed TakeBackTheMemorial's on-line petition? have you e-mailed the LMDC and told them of your opposition to the travesty that is the IFC?
Please, please get involved! The IFC is every bit as much as a sacrilege as are the plan for the Flight 93 memorial in Pennsylvania.
We cannot let this happen! Please get involved! Let's not turn 9/11 into a politically correct event for the US-loathing Left.
BTTT
So let's work on getting that information out. Can I get a list? I'm good at blaring that sort of stuff from the mountaintops.
"Have you signed TakeBackTheMemorial's on-line petition?"
Just did!
Did these guys have anything to do with that "revisionist art" sculpture of the three firemen raising the American flag on the rubble of the WTC? Thankfully, that was stopped in its tracks.
Not that I am anyone, but I am a local an I have issues with the marxist memorial bullschiznit.
The best source for info is www.takebackthememorial.org. They do an exceptional job of showing what the IFC really is.
The IFC also has a web site too. Go to www.ifcwtc.org. You should be able to see some pictures of this travesty will look like. Naturally, this site sugar-coats the real nature of the IFC.
Good Job! Thank You!
Be sure to tell others about this on-line petition too! Word of mouth works exceptionally well.
I'd like a summary, please. I don't have time to go rooting through the site top to bottom.
