| The SOWP Committee has petitioned the City Council of Washington, DC with a request to place a TWIN of the Beijing Statue in Washington, DC. Letters of support can be sent to Mayor Anthony Williams Mayor's Office 441 4th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20004 FAX 203 727-0505; E-mail: mayor@dcgov.org The mailing address for all Councilmembers is: Councilmember ___, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Room ___, Washington, D.C. 20004 Linda W. Cropp Chairman At Large Room 504 202-724-8032 fax 724-8085 lcropp@dccouncil.washington.dc.us Give your opinion Do you have a preference or a recommendation about where the Statue of World Peace should go in the USA? a) New York, across the East River from the United Nations Building (so the delegates can see the silver statue shining in the east). After all, New York is associated with the Statue of Liberty, so why not also the Statue of World Peace? b) Near the Pentagon, so visitors to and from Arlington Cemetery might see a symbol for part of what the soldiers fought for. c) ??? Do you have a suggestion? |
| Suggested text for a letter of support Dear Mayor Williams, I heard that your office has received a petition asking your city to accept a Statue of World Peace. I support the proposed project for installing The Statue of World Peace in Washington, D.C. It will be a twin to a Statue of World Peace that stands today in Beijing. I hope your city council will accept the proposed statue to create a center for peace and place it in a location that will inspire people who visit Washington, DC. I look forward to someday visiting our Capital and seeing the Statue of World Peace. Sincerely, |
