In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!

Countdown: Five Days to Ken Burns' "THE NATIONAL PARKS -- America's Best Idea"
It will take an Act of Congress to create our St. Augustine National Historical Park, Seashore and Scenic Coastal Parkway.
It will help Florida and St. Augustine celebrate their anniversaries in 2013 and 2015. It will help celebrate the anniversary of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the courageous people here, led by Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who made it happen.
In five days, Ken Burns' "THE NATIONAL PARKS -- America's Best Idea" premieres on PBS.
Watch it and learn from history. Learn how we can help write a national park bill and get it passed, to protect and perserve history and nature for future generations.
