I believe that all of you on @Twitter made the cancellation of the marathon possible. Now we can continue the focus on the victims of Sandy.

Sidewalks Chalk 
No way should this Marathon be held in NYC Sunday.
Stop the insanity,
The mindset of the ObamaZombies is make money and the hell with the citizens and their dire problems. Just what NY and NJ needs an ObamaZombie leading them.
I am so distraught over this decision. I am receiving local news and it is Worse than Katrina.
ppl have no home, shelter, food, clothing.
Rev. Michael Reilly: NY Marathon Only Making Matters Worse in City
Rev. Michael Reilly, principal of a Catholic high school in the storm-ravaged New York City borough of Staten Island, tells Newsmax that Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s decision to proceed with the New York Marathon is making a bad situation even worse.
He charges that essential resources will be diverted from the victims of superstorm Sandy to runners in the marathon, which begins on Staten Island on Sunday.
“We can’t deliver emergency fuel, we can’t deliver emergency packages because we have no fuel, and as we speak, there are generators powering the kickoff of this marathon,” Rev. Reilly — whose St. Joseph By The Sea is the largest Catholic high school in New York City.
“The South Shore has been absolutely devastated by the hurricane,” he says.
“There are entire neighborhoods which have just been washed away. People have lost their homes. Our whole marina district has been completely trashed. I don’t know how they’re ever going to rebuild it. People have lost lives. So far, we know of maybe 20 who have died.”

NYC Marathon unsure how runners get to start line ( Starts in Staten Island)
The New York City Marathon is still unsure how it will get its runners to the starting line Sunday, yet another obstacle in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
A day after New York Road Runners President Mary Wittenberg said ferries would again take some entrants to the start on Staten Island, marathon organizers said they might not be used.

People have no food and Bloomberg wants a marathon. Why does he think that people want to run through this disaster? He is an idiot.
Here is a thought why doesn’t he open up his house, the Gov. house and anyother govt’. building to the people!
NYC Marathon canceled
The New York Marathon was canceled Friday in the wake of criticism that the race should not take place as the city struggles to recover from Hurricane Sandy.
Earlier Friday, Mayor Michael Bloomberg had insisted that the race would take place Sunday despite some New Yorkers saying that holding the race would be insensitive and tie up police, generators and other resources when many are still suffering.
