Subject: WTC Starting Rally Planning,Online-LTTC To End


The Online Listening To The City at
http://dialogues.listeningtothecity.org/
is in its last day now...final polls are
on memorial themes,and YES,THOSE OF US
WHO REGISTERED BUT WERE REJECTED CAN STILL VOTE.

Under "Memorial:Your Vision" I recommend rating
only "Tall Towers/Skyline" as "Exclusively Important",
whether you consider the others anywhere from "Very
Important" to "Not Important"...that will send the
needed message.

Meanwhile there has been definite response in favor of
holding a rally in lower Manhattan,and we need to see
who'll attend and set a date...November 11 just about
everyone thinks is too late!

The rally should focus firmly on the as-tall-or-taller
issue and leave the contentious details out of it.
We need to determine the exact location and program
and any associated costs,and publicize it with the right
lead time for maximum effectiveness.

INPUT ON THESE ISSUES IS ENCOURAGED.

The petition/literature volunteers (there has been some
leafletting but they don't have a table yet) will be
working in advance of the rally,and I expect afterward
as well.Let's make sure the next public hearing has as
supportive an audience as the last one!

Of course those of you around the world can at least
help by sending supportive emails to the powers that be
at each stage of the planning process.

Don't forget the Doctoroff Java-Chat August 15th or
other upcoming events and deadlines,see http://www.put.com/wtc/
for details.I may be adding past list emails to that site since
response to my suggestion has been positive.

See you on the 111th floor on 9-11-11!

The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
