9/11 FAMILIES OPPOSED FREEDOM CENTER
WINS News ^ | 6/20/05

Posted on 06/20/2005 7:38:19 AM PDT by areafiftyone

(1010 WINS) NEW YORK Many families of those killed in the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center oppose plans for a memorial at the site not related to the events of September 11th.

Those families plan to launch a ``Take Back the Memorial'' campaign this week to get public officials to focus on the victims of the attacks.

They are against proposed plans for an International Freedom Center at Ground Zero which would have exhibits on slavery, human rights and American Indians.

I hope Donald Trump has talked about this with his influential friends and they are organizing. This is such an outrage. And so sad.

Stunning as this may be, the International Freedom Center building is scheduled to be MUCH larger that the actual 911 Memorial

Five bucks says it's one of the "unauthorized" 9/11 family groups, and not Kristen Breitweiser and her Jersey Girls, who are protesting the "Freedom Center."

However, I'm sure that Kristen will very soon be opening her big yapper to express her unwavering support for the center, and to remind us all that she is the only one permitted to speak for all of the 9/11 families.

And let them use their own money.

You know they're planning on or already have gotten their hands on money intended to honor the 9/11 victims.

These people and their causes are SO over.

You know what would be great is if Trump could produce some kind of commercials or public service announcements highlighting this atrocity. Put them on during primetime shows. THAT would get the word out.

That WOULD be great. Anyone have an address for Trump? We should start a letter writing campaign. Let's see him put some money behind this.

Haven't heard a peep out of him. I hope he gets on this bandwagon.

I heard 1010 WINS report this on the radio. They even had a soundbite from one of the ladies at the rally (don't know if it was a FReeper).

Here are the actual proposed numbers on the International Freedom Center and the actual WTC memorial.

The World Trade Center Memorial Foundation will have erected a building whose only connection to September 11 is a strained, intellectual one. While the IFC is getting 300,000 square feet of space to teach us how to think about liberty, the actual Memorial Center on the opposite corner of the site will get a meager 50,000 square feet to exhibit its 9/11 artifacts, all out of sight and underground.

I do know that George Soros had contributed to the International Freedom Center.

I looked him up on his website and the only email address is the Trump Organization but it kinda links to the brokerage section - brokerage@trumporg.com

Hmmm. We need some big names and money behind an effort to stop this. And the 911 families speaking out would help. I know a few of them have spoken against the project, but we need more input.

And Kristen and her gang are Soros tools.

The Trump Organization

Phone# 212-832-2000
Fax# 212-935-0141

Most of the e-mail addresses are pretty general, but this one for the Trump International Hotel & Towers Sales Center looks like it goes to a person:

Oh, thank you!
