Put It Above Ground

To All,

Please read the articles below. You will see differing opinions. One who gets what we are trying to do and one who never will. Unfortunately the one who never will is on one of the LMDC’s Advisory Committees while people like Rosaleen Tallon and Jim McCaffrey are not.

A simple, fitting tribute

The memorial’s cost problems have not been solved

When you are finished please follow the instructions below and post your comments at both locations. Your voice is important and it must be heard

Many cultural and arts groups are urging all of their constituents to post comments on the New Memorial Plan.

I also urge you all to post your comments whatever your opinion. We need to have our comments on record.

A seven day public comment period began 6/20 on the new WTC Memorial Recommendations. You now have the opportunity to go on record with your comments.

The link to submit comments is located at:

Memorial Design Revision Comments

Also please post a copy of your comments for us at

 

http://www.where-to-turn.org/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=46

 

We would like to have a record of comments to compare with what the LMDC releases. Unfortunately we did not do this last time and we know the result.

The PUT IT ABOVE GROUND CAMPAIGN is still calling for the following

Elimination of the Port Authority’s exemptions from NYC Building and Fire Codes at Ground Zero.

Elimination of the random placement of names.

Inclusion of historical artifacts at ground level (facades, sphere, staircase etc)

Inclusion of an American flag at the site. Possibly a large custom version of the Flag of Honor which will also include the names of the victims of 1993.
These are just our recommendations.

 

Whatever you think is really important. Please take advantage of this opportunity and once again let your voice be heard.

Put it Above Ground Campaign
