Dogs and soldiers keep off the grass...

Flyboys and Marines, stay out of our sky...

If these pissy little pinkos get their panties in a bunch about the sound of freedom, I say lets give them something to REALLY get ticked off about.

Someone post an email address please. I feel the need to send a nasty-gram or several.

You can write a letter to the editor at the Arizona Republic.

http://www.azcentral.com/arizonarepublic/eastvalleyopinions/sendaletter.html Don't be fooled by the name, this is a very liberal newspaper. The conservative paper in the valley is the Tribune. I am still looking for e-mail addresses.

Wayne Ecton, the councilman who suggested the military is not welcome, can be reached at wecton@scottsdaleaz.gov

Bob Littlefield, the good councilman who defended the military's right to land at Scottsdale Airpark can be reached at rlittlefield@scottsdaleaz.gov

Nick Luongo is a prominant citizen of Scottsdale, and was the originator of the complaint. Mary Anne Addis is an Air Traffic Controller who also defended the military's right to land at the Airpark. You can reach me here through FReepmail.
