Subject: Rebuild the Twin Towers Says Syndicated Radio Columnist
RADIO COLUMNIST, FORMER WORLD TRADE
CENTER TENANT, DEMANDS NEW YORK CITY
"STOP DELAYING AND START REBUILDING"
WORLD TRADE CENTER TWIN TOWERS
A PROGRAMMING NOTE FROM "ANDY MARTIN'S AMERICA"
(NEW YORK) Nationally syndicated radio columnist Andy Martin will host a
special radio/Internet news conference edition of "Andy Martin's America"
Thursday, September 12th at 1:00 P.M. to
demand that New York City officials stop delaying reconstruction of the World
Trade Center.
Martin is the only talk radio host who was a tenant of the World Trade
Center and spent years working there.
"New York's response to rebuilding has been a disgrace," says Martin.
"They got a commitment for $20 billion to 'rebuild,' but they have not
rebuilt anything. They keep squabbling about memorials and footprints.
American taxpayers have a right to demand action.
"There is an overwhelming national consensus that we cannot convert the
World Trade Center into a 'memorial.' I am sick of victims trying to
intimidate the public with exaggerated demands for memorials. The largest
single block of national support is for taller and bigger towers.
"If the 9/11 + 1 coverage impressed anything on me, it is that the
American people want action, and they want reaction. New York City's
disgraceful delay in beginning reconstruction of the WTC should prompt
President Bush to suspend further financial aid unless and until the Twin
Towers start rising again.
"The Pentagon was rebuilt. Reconstruction is complete. New Yorkers
haven't put the first shovel in the ground.
"If we can't agree on a bigger and better--and taller--World Trade
Center, we still have the blueprints for the old towers. Let's update the old
plans and start pouring concrete.
"Once, brave Americans said 'Let's roll.' Now it is time for Americans to
tell New Yorkers 'Let's rebuild.' NOW."
Martin's controversial program "Andy Martin's America" is a fulcrum of
foreign policy, political analysis and contemporary commentary on the
Internet. Martin is a national columnist for Out2.com.
Martin has been involved in various aspects of broadcasting for 34 years.
He has been an adjunct professor of law at the City University of New York,
is a Washington foreign policy consultant in the areas of military security
and intelligence and was an assistant to U.S. Senator Paul H. Douglas.
Martin's radio program "Andy Martin's America" covers national and
international matters from 1-2 P.M. Radio call-in (800) 810-9727. Internet
