Columbus represents the struggle and sacrifices of Italian-Americans. As an immigrant myself Columbus helped me feel united to this country. Don't ghettoize our monuments. We have nothing to be ashamed of. Save Columbus!

Proud to support this memorial and others. The few should dictate to the many. Proud of our history with all our faults. Let thee without sin cast the first stone.

Are the opponents to the monument willing to do the “moral” thing and return to their ancestral homelands?

Regardless of the ranting & raving of the destructive nay-sayers..reality dictates history cannot be deleted. We need to protect the symbols of those individuals whose courage, strength, and vision contributed to the development and greatness of the America we hold dear.

As a mayor you should be ashamed for even considering destroying monuments in this city.

Syracuse has a history of failed policies, please don't let tearing down history become another sad mark of failure for our good city.

Giving into the destruction of America is not a value Syracuse needs or wants today. Stop trying to erase history, and let's move forward in a positive way. Destroying the statue will be a blight on the mayors legacy.

These mobs want to erase and dsetroy every aspect of civil life we have in America, giving in to them will only encourage more destruction of good decent values.

Stop mob fueled insanity. Destroying our collective culture serves no purpose. Respect Italian American's contributions to your city and history.
