WE, the undersigned, hereby petition the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, the agency overseeing the rebuilding of the World Trade Center site, to remove the "Ground Zero Cross", or allow equal representation for those who died and were not Christian to be represented by a display of their loved ones choosing. This display must be included as part of any future memorial to the victims of the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001.

How insensitive to everyone else. The memorial should be inclusive for every single person who was lost.

Whatever happened to separation of church and state? This is supposed to be a public memorial for everyone not just one religion.

It feels very exclusionary. Plenty of non-Christians died that day too. Put up something for them or take the cross down.

Just put up a plaque or something for the others. Seems pretty simple to fix this mess.

SO RIDICULOUS. Keep religion out of public spaces. It wasnt just christians who lost their lives.
