Save the Bayview Cross


Save the Bayview Cross
The Issue
Recently The US District Court of Northern Florida ruled that The Cross at Bayview Park was unconstitutional due to it's placement on public lands. I'm starting this petition to attempt to rescue the Bayview Cross or, at the very least, voice displeasure at this ruling. This cross stood as a monument and staple of Pensacola for nearly 50 years and not once was it ever seen as a symbol or "message to Non-Christians in the community, that they're not welcome." Even if you disagree with that and still see it as a religious symbol, I mean it is a giant cross after all, you must see the historical and significance of the monument and why it must be preserved. Don't let 4 people, of whom 2 now reside in Canada, decide what's right for The City of Pensacola.
