They Won! They Took Back the Memorial!

We rejoice along with all those who made this victory possible. Here is the victory announcement:

We are very pleased to announce that Governor Pataki has announced the removal of the International Freedom Center (IFC) from Ground Zero. See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/28/AR2005092801849.html for details.

Every since June 8, 2005 when Debra Bulingame's op-ed, The Great Ground Zero Heist, appeared in the Wall Street Journal, we have fought together for the preservation of the dignity of Ground Zero. With your help, we have achieved a major victory toward that goal. We will continue to monitor the plans for Ground Zero to ensure that a fitting and proper memorial is built; one that is respectful of the victims murdered that day, their families, the first responders, and the American people.A press release on the removal of the IFC from the 15 family member groups is expected in the next 24 hours and we will post it @ http://www.takebackthememorial.org/ as soon as it becomes available.

Thank you again for your support, prayers, and dedication. We simply could not have done this without you.

Sincerely,

Robert D. ShurbetFounder/Web MasterTakeBackTheMemorial.org

This is a sweet victory, won by activated citizens intending to right the wrong. It is a victory worthy of the fullest of celebrations, all on its own. We are very proud to have supported this cause.

It is also more. It shows how we, common, ordinary Americans, can take back our country. We will not let wrongs stand unrighted if we take proaction like Debra Burlingame and all those in Take Back the Memorial as well as their supporters.

THIS LESSON SHOULD NOT BE LOST ON ANYONE. Do you hear that in Washington, DC?
