Hi Everyone,
We had a great event last Tuesday. Sister Pat gave a very motivational presentation that got everyone involved with a good understanding of CEJ mission and the Earth Rights movement. However it was a very lite turn-out. Only 25 people which is our smallest turn-out this year. Perhaps it was some of our snow-birds have went back north and the weather. I hope we are not losing our passion. The people that did attend were very dedicated and knowledgeable environmental concern citizens asking a lot of questions and looking for answers to our problems. The solutions we found will not come easy, but have decided the only hope is to work together and actively to make sure our voices are heard locally and nationally. We have decided to form two committees in t.c.p.a, to work on (1) this issue "Earth Rights" and the other (2) Move to Amend. We want to work locally and nationally with like minded organizations to push these issues. Anyone interested in serving/working with these issues can e-mail me. Our video and audio systems worked perfectly, however Sister Pat preferred not to use the mic, which she really didn't need.
We are also looking at changing our Event times to 6:30pm, to give people more time to get there. Please give me some feed back on your preference 6:00pm or 6:30pm?
Our next Event will be on 28 May 2013 at 6:00pm. We will be showing a documentary movies "Salmon Confidential". A very controversial film on what is killing wild salmon and why all the government and industry roadblocks. All the information is on the attach flyer and on our web site. Hope to see all of our passionate and progressive friends and family there. Anyone looking to car-pool let me know and I will try to connect you.
Space Coast Progressive Alliance will be having Corry Westbrook give a presentation on the conditions of our Oceans on 6 June in Melbourne. Corry has been working environmental issues for years and is an expert in her field. She is also running for congress and will be trying to send Congressman Posey into early retirement. It will be an excellent opportunity to meet and get to know her. I will be going up from Ft. Pierce, if anyone would like to ride along, you are very much welcome. All the information is on their web-site and we will also post it on ours.
Move To Amend protest/day of action will be this Saturday 11 May 2013, 10:00am to 12:00pm at the Library across from the farmers market in downtown Ft. Pierce.
