ISSUE: This is one e-mail that you NEED to forward to ALL of your contacts, across the country and around the world.

We MUST NOT let the travesty below take place.

According to an article today at WorldNetDaily.com, with the upcoming 2-year anniversary of the deadly 9/11 attacks, "an atheist organization is once again warning against using a steel-beam cross at the site of the World Trade Center disaster from being used in a permanent memorial to the victims who died there."

The organization American Atheists (founded by the late Madalyn Murray O'Hair) is protesting a proposal to use a large steel cross found in the rubble of the World Trade Center in a memorial to victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

We all remember that cross. A construction worker came across it in the midst of the WTC wreckage just a few days after the attacks. It was standing straight, 20-feet high, surrounded by many smaller crosses. After it was discovered, construction workers, firefighters, police officers and family members began holding weekly Sunday services at the site.

The names of fallen police officers and firefighters were also scribbled on the cross, along with the message "God Bless Our Fallen Brothers".

And now, this group of atheists is threatening a lawsuit to prevent the cross from becoming part of any permanent memorial.

You and I can help to stop their assault by signing ConservativeAlerts.com's online petition.

ACTION ITEM: The Lower Manhattan Development Corporation, the agency overseeing the rebuilding of the area, has made no decisions on what a Ground Zero memorial would include.

There's still time for hundreds of thousands of people to voice their opinion, that the "Ground Zero Cross" should remain as part of any future memorial to the WTC victims.

Go to our site below to sign the "Ground Zero Cross" petition NOW:

I'm not a Christian, but I think the real insensitivity is to remove something that has given so many comfort.

What a bunch of evil bastards.

Many people who died on Sept. 11 weren't Christian. There were Jews, Muslims and atheists who died

Sure, there were Muslims who died. They were the ones flying the planes into the WTC.

I wonder if the atheists who died prayed to God in their final moments?

Maybe the brethren of those 'Many People' should have sifted through the rubble for a 'Star of David', 'Crescent Moon' or 'Likeness of Darwin'.

The fact that they failed to do so, doesn't mean the Christian dead don't deserve their fortuitous 'miracle of hope'.

"This is a Christian religious advertisement, and allowing it to stay there is an insult to everyone who doesn't believe in that particular religion." EVERYONE? I am not offended by the star of david, the muslim crescent moon, the buddha etc etc; simply because one does not believe in a specific religion does not mean they are insulted by its logo/icon

I see this group defines atheism as "anti-religion". Or is it "anti-Christ"? Guess what, if you are "offneded" by Christian symbols you have the right to keep it to yourself. This country has a Constitution and religious expression is free. No one has the right to oppose another person's religious expression. The said atheist group is unconstitutional. When the "offended" start talking offensive they become hatred-mongers.

The atheists complain that the cross is a violation of the mythical "separation of church and state." Hello, idiots! The WTC is private property, not a state facility.
