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: Today Begins Ken Burns' "THE NATIONAL PARKS -- America's Best Idea" on PBS
Watch the inspiring stories of all the courageous, persistent, visionary people who worked to bring us America's national parks.
Call/write/visit our Senators, Congresspeople, City and County Commissioners, starting tomorrow morning. See links at left.
Tell them about the St. Augustine National Historical Park, Seashore and Scenic Coastal Parkway. Ask them to work to enact it into law.
Your grandchildren will thank you.
As architect Daniel Burnham said, "make no little plans, for they do not inspire people to follow them."
