Senator Lavalle Urges Public To Join Effort To Move Terror Trials Out Of New York
February 3, 2010
(New York,N.Y.)-Senator Kenneth P. LaValle has launched an on-line petition allowing New Yorkers to support his effort to get the 9/11 terror trials moved out of New York. The Senator is urging residents to sign his petition at lavalle.nysenate.gov.
Senator LaValle is supporting a New York State Senate Resolution opposing the Obama Administration’s decision to conduct the 9/11 terror trial in a New York City federal civilian court. The Senator also wants the enemy terrorists to be tried by a military commission tribunal, as has been practice in the United States since the birth of our nation.
The Obama Administration is wrong in making this change in policy and has offered no explanation to justify placing the public at risk. This is an insult to every American. The idea that these trials would be held just blocks from where the tragedy occurred is an outrage and shows blatant disregard for the people of New York. In addition, it would have a staggering economic impact on businesses and cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
Senator LaValle is urging all New Yorkers to make their voice heard by joining his on-line petition. It is an outrage that terrorists would be given the same protections as U.S. citizens. The President and U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder need to reverse this decision without delay.
