Re the book, thank you very much.

Re the dirt... Helluva nice thought and I would love to contribute but there is a problem with the idea. One should be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN not to have living Phytophthora ramorum algae (sudden oak death syndrome) or any other living pest species (including weed seed) that is exotic to the Everglades in the dirt. I don't know if microwaving it would sterilize the spores but you really don't want to be blamed for bringing that problem to Florida, much less the Everglades. If a problem ever developed (and you can be sure that they will find one and if they don't plant one), it would be used against you FOREVER.

Frankly, I don't think it's a responsible idea. Could you please tell me who is coordinating it and I will tell them the same thing.

Re Tracy, I plan to be there.

Please see the above post.

The plan to build a levee near the Everglades out of dirt from around the nation risks becoming a glaring ecological incident held against property rights groups. There is a high likelihood that the caravan will be stopped at a border crossing for importing pathogens and there may even be criminal penalties for leaving quarantined areas.

It is absolutely certain that such an incident would be used to demonstrate the need for regulatory policing and protecting inviolate areas against the public.

Please help stop it.

You are right and I am asking everyone not to do this. Hate giving up such a powerful symbol of unity across the nation but maybe you guys can think of a better one.

I am sending a big hunk of cloth for signatures (paper rips and munches up) of supporters. That will help in the symbolism department.

Give me some ideas--I know there is something out there that would really give this convoy a special signature! Think hard and post your ideas. I need help here! We can change the nation with this movement if we can engage the public somehow.

Forgot to tell you--I am the coordinato--so you told me. We could probably be blamed for anything if this thing swings the nation back towards the Constitution and the Bill of Rights and stops the loss of private land. Lord I hope this movement keeps on growing. Right now I am up to my ears in good things happening. It is a runaway freight train right now. Everything is getting better all the time. I dialed a wrong number yesterday and got another property rights person who gave me a TV contact to try! Even errors are beginning to help--perhaps the dirt idea can be replaced with a huge better symbol!
