Open Letter to Michael Bloomberg

Dear Mr. Bloomberg:

I am speaking on behalf of a great majority. Once upon a time, not so long ago, this great nation was on its' knees. We were mourning the loss of our comrades on 9/11. During this troubling time, many of us turned to prayer. It is fitting, therefore, in memory of those lost to us on that drreadful day, we turn to prayer again.

Prayer, as I understand, is highly controversial. It can be seen as a right of free speech, or as an endorsement of a state religion. However, prayer needn't necessarily indicate a state endorsement. I would like to suggest, that in lieu of no prayer at the memorial, representatives of as many faiths as permissible, pray for the souls of the departed in their own way.

Thank you for your time. Sincerely yours,

Transica Hester.
