A 'Black top
Bike Trail' will lead to Golf-carts, then Motor Scooters, then Motorcycles,
then ATVs and so on!
We need to protect
our "Water Supply" Wild-Life and the Land?
Our state is already
selling our drinking water to the highest bidder twice as fast as it can
replenish itself!

This bike trail is a
"BACK DOOR" opportunity for this "Greedy Congress" to be
able to end up selling the Everglades to "Big Business!"
In spite of what the
public wants for "OUR LAND!"
Bike trail across
the Everglades draws protests

A bike path across
the Everglades, even a green one intended to do little damage to the fragile
ecosystem, is drawing fire from a group of indigenous people and other critics
who say the proposed 76-mile long ribbon of asphalt is an insult to them and nature.
“It opens the door
to more development in the Everglades,” said Betty Osceola, a member of the
Miccosukee Tribe, which lives in the Glades. “Once you give them that door and
open it, they’re going to walk right on through and keep opening more and more
doors. It won’t stop.”
The Associated Press
declared Amendment 1 passed on Tuesday. With about half the expected votes
counted, the amendment had 75 percent "yes" votes to 25 percent no.
It needed 60 percent of the vote to pass.
