April 26, 2011: Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is deciding on signing a bill to remove Balbir Singh Sodhi’s name from the state’s 9/11 memorial and sell his memorial plaque as scrap metal.

Arizona Representative John Kavanagh introduced the bill because Sodhi “was not a 9/11 victim.” In fact, Mr. Kavanagh believes the tragic hate crime was unconnected to 9/11. SALDEF is outraged at the disrespect the Arizona state legislature has shown Mr. Sodhi’s memory, family, and the Sikh American community. The efforts by Mr. Kavanaugh and his colleagues to deny the fact that Mr. Sodhi’s murder was a consequence of 9/11 is completely unfounded, unacceptable, and shows a complete failure in leadership.

TAKE ACTION: Sign the petition urging Gov. Brewer to veto the bill

Thr site wouldn't load on my phone I'll sign it tomm. But was this part of a newspaper or something? Just the line about selling the plaque for scrap metal seems really drastic. People sometimes stretch the truth to prove a point. And if that is true that's just outrageous. The fact that his name was removed is already disrespectful but to go and treat something dedicated to him like that...well that's just inhumane.

I hope you guys understand what I'm saying about stretching the truth, and don't interpret it the wrong way.
