Countdown: Three Days to Ken Burns' "THE NATIONAL PARKS -- America's Best Idea" on PBS

St. Augustine's seawall needs replacing -- the National Park Service can do it right, without bankrupting City, taxpayers.


HELP GROW OUR ECONOMY AND SAVE OUR ENVIRONMENT – WE NEED A ST. AUGUSTINE NATIONAL HISTORICAL PARK, SEASHORE AND COASTAL PARKWAY.
How can I help?
1. Read “SAVING ST. AUGUSTINE,” backpage editorial by Faye Armitage from Folio Weekly, http://www.metrojacksonville.com/forum/index.php?topic=5377.0;wap2

2. Go to www.staugustgreen.com and read the draft legislation and what the park would do and why.

3. WATCH KEN BURNS’ FILM on PBS starting September 27, 2009 – six nights, twelve hours (“THE NATIONAL PARKS – America’s Best Idea”).

4. Write Senators Bill Nelson and George Lemieux, Rep. John Mica and Rep. Corrine Brown and ask them to introduce the legislation and hold hearings.

5. Contact your City and County Commissioners, Chamber of Commerce, civic, social, veterans and fraternal organizations and ask them to support it. Encourage students and teachers to discuss the park and what we need to preserve here in St. Johns County, and why and how we’re going to do it.
YES WE CAN!
