ACTION ALERT
1/10/2004
- (San Diego, California, USA)
1)
WRITE A LETTER TO THE UNION TRIBUNE PRAISING THE SETTLEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
COUNCIL AND THE ACLU
e-mail the Union Tribune click here: letters@uniontrib.com
or
copy from here: letters@uniontrib.com
NOTE: All letters to the editor require your full name, address and
phone number. This is their new verification policy. The Union Tribune does
not publish your address or phone number.
The
ACLU is asking everyone to write a letter to the editor of the Union Tribune
praising the settlement between the City Council and the ACLU. You can email
a letter to the editor at letters@uniontrib.com. Please remember, the UT
prints letters in direct proportion to the number they receive. Here’s
a few thoughts about what a letter might say:
- The City should not be
subsidizing discrimination with our tax dollars.
- The Scouts cannot have
their cake and eat it too. They went all the way to the US Supreme Court
to establish their constitutional right to discriminate. They cannot now
ask the taxpayers to subsidize that discrimination. The Boy Scouts may
not be for all boys, but public parks are.
- The scouts will continue
to have equal access to park facilities, just like the dozens of other community
groups that use the park. What will end after this process plays itself
out is the unique, non-competitive, virtually free sweetheart deal the
Scouts have been getting from the City.
- All of this trouble and
expense could have been avoided if the Council had just done the right
thing in the first place.
- Praise for those who
voted to settle: Atkins (especially), Zucchet, Lewis, Frye, Peters,
Inzunza.
2) IT IS URGENT TO
WRITE TO YOUR COUNCILMEMBER AND THANK THEM FOR VOTING AGAINST THE LEASE
BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN DIEGO
AND THE BOYS SCOUTS.
Please call or email
your council member, especially if s/he voted correctly, and express your
appreciation or disappointment, depending on what applies. Phone numbers and
emails are on the City website. FYI, Murphy and Madaffer voted NO,
Maienschein wasn't around to vote.
Councilmembers who
voted against the City of San Diego & the Boy Scouts lease in Balboa
Park:
Scott Peters Michael Zucchet Toni Atkins Charles Lewis Donna Frye Ralph Inzunza
Note: Councilmembers want your full
name, address and phone number attached to all e-mails.
--End of Action Alert.
What Makes A Good Letter To The Editor?
Reference a Union-Tribune article (or Letter To The Editor), keep it SHORT,
and "maintain civility and raise the level of discourse in public
debate." (Quoted portion of the last sentence from the internet article
concerning writing good letters to the editor from the San Francisco
Chroncile, these tips linked below are universal.)
