Please read, sign and share this petition, hosted at Groundswell:
Help Us Tell MA Gov. Deval Patrick & Melissa Rogers: Healing Must Be For Everyone
The Boston Marathon bombing was an event that effected all Americans, so there was no justification for excluding the representatives of the Harvard Humanists and the Secular Coalition for Massachusetts who asked to be included. Given that one fifth of the population is non-religious and that President Obama was there representing our secular government, there should have been a place made for the Humanist and atheist community.
I have signed the petition on behalf of the HUUmanists and encourage all of you to add your support.
