Cree Indian Prophecy
"Only after the last tree has been cut down,
only after the last river has been poisoned,
only after the last fish has been caught,
only then will you find that money cannot be eaten."

Florida Residents
- This year we can save Florida!
- Please vote YES for Amendment 4.
- Amendment 4 is a proposed amendment to the Florida Constitution sponsored by Florida Hometown Democracy, a non-partisan, grass-roots group. Over 1,000,000 Florida voters signed the Florida Hometown Democracy petition to qualify this important citizens' reform for the November 2010 ballot.
- Amendment 4 will give us, the Florida voter, a vote on growth in our communities.
- Please remember to Just Say NO! to Charlie Crist in the November election.
- He gave away Florida's water to developers.
- He continues to vote against Florida and the environment.

Causes
- Boycott SeaWorld until all Killer Whales are free.
- Killer Whales are highly intelligent and are even known to grieve for dead family members.
- The typical free Killer Whale swims 100 miles every day and has a straight dorsal fin.
- Killer Whales only kill humans when held in captivity, never in their natural habitat.
- Tilly (Tillikum) was likely just lashing out from being held prisoner by SeaWorld.
- If Tilly was living free, the tragic event at SeaWorld would have never occurred.
