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!

Impressive turnout for the first of "First America" fora
800 people! See below. That's more people than I've ever seen in that auditorium, and we first moved to St. Augustine exactly ten years ago yesterday. Our residents are passionate about our history and environment and want to protect it. That's why we support a St. Augustine National Historical Park, Seashore and Scenic Coastal Parkway, with an "emerald necklace of parks," a national indigenous history museum and a national civil rights museum, right here where European-American history began in 1565.
