Get the ACLU involved. They oppose church and state, right?
Using a religious symbol would appear to fall in their outrage list. Oh wait, it wasn't a cross. Nevermind.
You nailed it. I despise the cockroaches of ACLU and anyone who has any connection with that organization should be nowhere near government at any level of the US. But I can't stress enough that to get the design changed you must contact the judges, esp the 93 families. We have a FReeper here on who lost his father in flight 93 and he's ok with the memorial. It is very likely that others are ok with it too. We must hold a civilized debate and try to convince them this ugly saccharine slop doesn't do justice to our heroes.
Wind chimes, "embrace", trees... Retch.
