the flyer is super cool, but it needs to be more specific on the meeting place. i thought we were gathering at the bridge. if so, it should say, " just south of the 1-75 overpass on everglades blvd" and the time.  everyone passing them out should put they're name and number on the back of it for further direction, maybe even some gps numbers, if anyone has them, then say we'll:" caravan to the gov center".

The general area is really only one place. Either the bridge or the entrance, there will be people all over the place IMO.

Guys: I think you can copy right from here, paste in word and then print. Let me know how it goes.


ONESLOWEX: Where are you brother? I know you can use these!!! DO IT man!!!!

 i think 640 acres is better than what we have now. seminole mx track is only 85 acres and look what they have, and how many people ride at one time... just an observation. EWORM why don't you try to get in contact with the guys at EL SOL 95. those guys are into the politics and exposing "political corruption". i think they would love to have such a topic on their morning radio program.

I live in Naples (Golden Gate estates) just minutes from the praire.
I'm gunna get on printing thanks for the good work  Eworm

[dudek38]

i tried to change the location part and was unsuccessful, has anyone else tried. eric, the flyer rocks, i've learned that one must make things SUPER clear when gathering people.

[Eworm]

I have a black and white as well so that when you print them (if you are not a color printer/copier), it will come out better if you print the B&W flyer. Give me 20 minutes and I will have it up here

Thanks - froggy0501@yahoo.com

things are sounding real good. i would love to contact any radio, newspaper or whatever, leave me a number to call. nice work eric and everyone. hey rick, where do we stand on the political side of things?
eric, what are the media saying, are they interested and spreading the word?

[lswjth2]

I contacted the Naples daily newspaper. They said they will cover it and will be at the rally. I also contacted abc7 news, no reply, the news press in ft.myers, no reply,  as time gets closer, i will remind them again. I sent sasha(local radio Personality) an e-mail asking her to give us a spot on her radio show, no reply.
I did get a response from commissioner Fiala saying she cant go, she has a prior engagement. State Rep Mike Davis will be in Tallahasee that weekend in session. I have a breakfast meeting tommorow with Jim colleta(county commissioner) and Brian Mchanon from the Florida outdoor alliance. I will let you guys know how this went. Meanwhile, let pass out the flyers and get signatures on the petition. Jay S. From US fish and Wildlife service said he would be at the rally to speak. Let's keep the pressure on... Let me know if there's anything else i can do on my end..Rick

[Eworm]

Well guys I am glad we started early. The snow ball is building!!!! An we still have a month!!! I am trying the local news stations and papers as well.

Ok guys, I want to give you a heads up as to my meeting with Commissioner Colleta and Brian from Florida outdoor alliance this morning.
1)Commissioner Colleta Will be going to our rally and Talking to us.
2)we"REALLY NEED!!!!!!!!" TO JOIN THE FLORIDA OUTDOOR ALLIANCE, I cannot stress this enough. This organization has been carrying the baton for ALL OF US for years now ,and it's time we either all join or start giving financial support to them. Yearly dues are 35.00. I for one will sign up at the rally and i URGE all of us to do the same, If you cant join because of the Fee's give whatever you can, please..
3)Smarter people than I have asked that we start a second petition asking that the "Board of Governors" for the SFWMD be an "ELECTED BOOARD" instead of what it is now, an "APPOINTED BOARD" to do this we need to start a second petition asking that this measure be brought to a ballot and let the citizens of florida vote on changing this. I was assured that if we started this second petition, we would have a bunch of politicians behind us because it seems the SFWMD can only do one thing and that is piss people off. I will start to work on that second petition and post it here as soon as i can. I will keep posting info as i get it. On a seperate note, Brian from FOA will be going to Tallahassee on 2/27 and find out was is going on with the Picayune forest and the ORV plan for there(seperate issue than the 640 acres) . Meanwhile let all keep working on this....Thxs Rick

Ask Brian to please create a paypal account or something. It would be much easier.
