ONLINE PETITION FOR ACCESS TO CHERYL/EMERALD SINKS in Wakulla State Park

If you look at http://www.safecavediving.com, you will find that Johnny
Richards, along with others, have been attempting for close to a year to get
the Wakulla Park Manager to respond to a proposal to reopen Cheryl and
Emerald Sinks - without response.

I have decided to put up an online petition in support of this effort.

Go to the following URL to view and sign it:

http://www.politics-fax.org/petition...a-1-online.htm

This petition is based on a draft by Johnny Richards, and embodies the
essence of both his sample letters and a draft petition to the Governor that
he forwarded to me.

If you sign it online, the system will aggregate your signatures and forward
them by FAX (at my expense) to both the Governor and Sandra Cook.

I may also, depending on exactly how many signatures we get and if there is
any response, print a copy of all the signatures and attempt to HAND DELIVER
them to both parties (plus some folks at the legislature and senate, if the
appropriate 'targets' can be identified) at some point down the road.

Folks, if you don't want to write your own letter, or don't want to spend 37
cents, this is your opportunity for ME to pick up YOUR costs in signing this
important initiative and MAKING YOUR VOICE HEARD.

This URL may be posted freely, and I would love it if it becomes a link on
the desktop of machines at places like Rennakers, where open internet access
for checking email is available.

Also, PLEASE pass this around on other forums, boards, and to your friends.

The key to response here is volume folks. I've just done all the hard work
for you. Now it just takes a few keystrokes and a couple of mouse-clicks,
plus a valid email adderss, for your to get your desires heard at the State
Capital.

Karl, your petition is well articulated and most likely holds merit. However,
although one may agree with your supossitional argument with regard to said
petition, it appears questionable as to "volume" [signatures] putting any teeth
into it? I would suggest that, unless the individual signing the petition is a
Florida state tax payer/voter, their aforementioned signatures, opinions
wants/desires/rants would and should hold little meaning.

Good luck.

They don't vote... Well, maybe in Ohio, but not in Florida...

I disagree.

Those who have, or will, visit Florida are just as powerful a force
economically as those who pay property taxes here.

The addresses of the signers are, of course, made available to the governor
and the state park manager......

This is about two things:

1. Demanding accountability for tax dollars.
2. Fundamental fairness in allocation of public resources.

Often, just knowledge that people are watching is enough....
