I was very moved to see a nice crowd holding lime green
"Save The Trees" signs on Saturday evening while I drove across the Oak Creek bridge. We have momentum...THANK YOU too all of you who are taking time out of your day to save the trees. Its a beautiful thing to see our community pull together like this.
NEWS: ADOT plans to put the tree removal up for bid next month (Sept.) we need to move fast and get a Court Injunction to STOP WORK immediately. They have already severed and quickly chipped up the evidence (in the night under lights) a 12 inch Sycamore limb from the tree in front of the new age store. The owner of the Center for New Age will not allow any flyers in her building. She still thinks there are (only) 3 trees coming down and said that this does not concern her. I find that rather hypocritical, especially considering what she does for a living.
1) Red Rock News was on site interviewing people and I handed her a type written synopsis of what is happening.
2) KAZM radio called me for an interview while a wild array of car horns were honking in the background.
3) I have contacted GREEN PEACE the worlds largest organization for preservation of the Earth.
John McCain
On Environmental issues
John McCain has a proud record of common sense stewardship. Along with his commitment to clean air and water, and to conserving open space, he has been a leader on the issue of global warming with the courage to call the nation to action on an issue we can no longer afford to ignore.
America has been blessed with a rich and diverse natural heritage. In the tradition of his hero, Theodore Roosevelt, John McCain believes that we are vested with a sacred duty to be proper stewards of the resources upon which the quality of American life depends. Ensuring clean air, safe and healthy water, sustainable land use, ample greenspace - and the faithful care and management of our natural treasures, including our proud National Park System - is a patriotic responsibility. One that must be met not only for the benefit of our generation, but for our children and those to whom we will pass the American legacy.
John McCain believes that America's economic and environmental interests are not mutually exclusive, but rather inextricably linked. Our economic prospects depend greatly upon the sustainable use of ample and unspoiled natural resources. A clean and healthy environment is well served by a strong economy. History shows that poverty is a poor steward.
As John McCain said, "Americans solve problems. We don't run from them." He believes that ignoring the problem reflects a "liberal live for today" attitude unworthy of our great country, and poses a serious and unacceptable threat to our environment, our economy, and U.S. national security. He has offered common sense approaches to limit carbon emissions by harnessing market forces that will bring advanced technologies, such as nuclear energy, to the market faster, reduce our dependence on foreign supplies of energy, and see to it that America leads in a way that ensures all nations do their rightful share.
By addressing this problem responsibly, John McCain believes we can meet our obligation to be proper caretakers of creation, in a manner of which we can be proud - by protecting our country, strengthening our economy, and addressing the challenges of our time, rather than leaving a much worse problem for our children.
NOTE: We need to get John involved. If anyone has contact info..please advise.
