HELLMAN: Pickets are *needed* at least this week. It is really important that they know we are not going to go away. Due to other issues, there was no presence wed-fri last week. Let's start this week off strong, I will bring cookies, natural soda, and signs: JOHN LAING go HOME SAVE IT ALL PLEASE SEE HTTP://sealbeach.org for map!

** BE THERE FOR THE MONITORS **
and for the late Lillian Robles.

--------------------------------------------
PUTIIDHEM: Letter writing utility now up and running.

ISSUE:
What would be the best use for this ancient village site, where at least 11 reburrials occurred?

 

  

1.Native memorial, surrounded by earthen berm, earth-sheltered building, ceremonial ampitheater, wetlands, reconstructed Juaneno village, and natural meadow with native plant descriptions. PLUS: attracts visitors, complements Mission, asset for the future, respects Ancestors' gravesites, more

2.JSERRA high school, run by CEO Tim Busch of Busch LLP, a legal eagle firm, with support from various local companies and magnates like Curt Pringle, Michael Ponzi and Marc Spizzirri of Family Toyota, Roberto Brutoco (investor behind JSerra High), Joe Soto (candidate for Council), Brad Gates, David Swerdlin (candidate for Council), James Korona and SLB Realty.
PLUS: Just another high school, this one seems to be a hybrid profit/nonprofit complex.

WHAT you can do:

1. SIGNUP on the website, you will receive email and USMail updates, if you have not signed up yet. This is for those new to the campaign.

2. LETTER WRITING CAMPAIGN The utility is up and running on
