Mayor Bloomberg:


    We, the undersigned, implore you to reconsider your decision to not include the First Responders to the September 11, 2011 Memorial Ceremony.  Because of the swift and fearless response of those courageous firefighters and police officers, lives were saved.   What a travesty to not allow the public to reflect, respect and pay tribute to them during this ceremony.  They need to be there.  They should be there!

I just checked the count and I can barely believe how many people are standing with us but we need to hit two hundred and fifty before I can even think about sending this to the Mayor because he really needs to see a huge crowd backing this up. Please just tell two people you know about this right now because my heart is pounding thinking about how we are almost there and we truly cannot let this momentum die down before we get their attention.

I really thought this might just float into the void without anyone noticing but the momentum is suddenly so real and it is honestly overwhelming to see so many of you agreeing that they belong on that stage. My coffee is cold and I am just staring at these notifications because it feels like people are finally listening to what happened that day and acknowledging the responders correctly.

I keep staring at the signature count because we are just shy of a hundred and it feels like we need this big round number to actually get someone at City Hall to pick up the phone. Please just send this to a few people you know because it feels wrong sitting here waiting while the ceremony plans aren't changing yet.

My husband was there that day. It hurts to see how they get treated sometimes. Let them be recognized.

Total disgrace. They ran in when everyone else was running out. They belong on that stage.

Unbelievable. This city would be nothing without them. Put them front and center where they belong.

BLOOMBERG IS WRONG ON THIS ONE. THESE MEN AND WOMEN ARE THE REAL HEROES.

They deserve the respect point blank. Shame on the mayors office.

They were the ones on the ground covered in dust and ash. How could you leave them out of the tribute? Just sad.
