General Discussion

I cannot think of a more monstrously Un-American eyesore than the proposed arch.

The preposterous height would overwhelm and utterly ruin the deliberate design of the National Mall with its treasured long and open views. It will encroach on hallowed military ground and destroy the solemn views between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.

This project must be rejected to preserve the quintessentially American, elegant, restrained symmetries and harmonies of Washington D.C.s neoclassical and Federal architecture.

I, along with millions of Americans, am begging you not to commit this heartbreaking, obscenely grandiose architectural atrocity. For the sake of the nation, heed our calls.
