New York 9/11 Ceremony and Mayor Bloomberg

It is an outrage the extreme measures that some of our leaders, including the New York Mayor Bloomberg will adhere to because they find it so difficult to either delegate or form decisions on their own.  One of which is a disagreement over which religious leaders should participate.  And citing space and security concerns for the Firefighters, Police Officers and Medical personnel, but  instead can watch via television screens at nearby Zuccotti Park.
Mayor Bloomberg, its a "No brainer".   Courtesy should have been extended in a memo sent to every Chief allowing X (used in algebriac formulas to allow our brains to know how to process and think) = amount of officers and firemen (who were among the first to arrive at the site), who had rain dust fall upon them as they searched through the rubble of steel framed skyscrapers, concrete slabs, fireproofing material (consisting of asbestos) electrical wires, etc. to carry away their fellow OFFICERS/FIREFIGHTERS, not to mention collected thousands of unidentified bone and tissue fragments.
Mayor Bloomberg, these men....Police Officers and Firefighters were quickly deployed to the site, before the collapse and were there during the aftermath, along with numerous off-duty firefighters and EMTs.  The Aftermath, these men worked around the clock with thousands tons of toxic debris from the collapse, which contained contaminants, including known carcinogens.  Not to mention the air quality that our responders had to work under, causing debilitating illnesses, respiratory illnesses that later NYC refused to pay health costs.
The 9/11 Ceremony is a solemn event for families who lost loved ones as well as our Police and Fire Departments who lost just as much, their FELLOW OFFICERS/FIREFIGHTERS 10 YEARS AGO.  They should be allowed to acknowledge what they feel and what they lost on that day and come together in unity.
Mayor Bloomberg remember your words...."This Ceremony will be very moving, which will remind the country of what happened at this very site 10 years ago this September 11th and I hope be a lesson that we should never forget that our FREEDOMS are fragile and that people want to take things away from us".   MAYOR BLOOMBERG YOU JUST DID THE VERY SAME THING.

The memorial participation of 9/11 of all the emergency responders and the Christian religious leaders should be a 'No Brainer', but when decisions are made to exclude them, then it shows that the deliberate decisions made are NOT based on the will of the people, but of biased and political entities who are using the memorial for their own purposes.

Dear Mr Mayor "We The People" consider your blatant disrespect for our men and women who put their lives on the line appalling. Perhaps you consider them as "Thankless Public Servants" but we assure you as Americans and voters we do not........Maybe no one told you but you are public servant not above anyone. A pubic servant who has failed.
