PLEASE, contact your representative

Florida's newly elected governor has decided one way to cut Florida's budget is to close 53 state parks. Please read the story here.
The people of Florida have voted over and over to spend the money to purchase land to set aside for the enjoyment of the citizens. These parks provide a glimpse of the natural beauty Florida has to offer, provides habitat for many birds and wildlife which are protected within the park's boundaries. I have seen what happens when parks close. They become overgrown, are subject to vandalism and poaching and we lose another spot to hike and commune with nature.
So they close the parks, which belong, not to Rick Scott, but the people of Florida, and then what happens. Oh, maybe we can sell some of this land to a developer and decrease Florida's debt. I have seen this happen over and over again because no one steps up and says anything.
Please contact your representative and write them a note to tell them to take this out of Rick Scott's budget. Please help preserve these wonderful parks for our children and grandchildren to enjoy.
