Mother Teresa Denied Honor

Empire State Lighting Partners are denying
Mother Teresa the honor of having the
towers shine in blue, white and blue on

Service will honor her with a stamp,
marking the 100th anniversary of her birth.
Go to the petition at the link below to implore the owner of the
Empire State Building to reverse the decision.
