HomeMy WebLinkAboutCOM 1142.011 2006-2008 I am ABSOLUTELY opposed to the Air Force's proposal to use the Big Island for the test flight area of the C17 cargo jets or for any other military testing. It is completely inappropriate to disrupt this residential and agricultural based land with low flying jets, helicopters, or any other noise-polluting war machinery. Why do they need to fly over land at all? If it is so necessary to fly these planes, fly them over the ocean. The Hawaiian Islands are geologically relatively young and have very-fragile ecosystems which have been destroyed and damaged enough by careless, mindless, pointless military tests. ENOUGH ALREADY. Let nature BE at some point soon, PLEASE! There are Endangered Species, which this proposed flying and other Military testing puts in real danger. The Navy already kills supposedly Federally protected marine animals with the LFAS , consider the disruption you incur upon the Hawaiian I'o (hawk). Stop polluting our skies with your war machines. Prioritize your finite funds, in this time of need for the protection and benefit of the People. Consider .....what would benefit the people. Albw Democracy and Listen to the Voice of the people... "WE DON'T WANT YOU TESTING ANYTHING ON OUR ISLAND" Look at all the toxic, radiated mess the military has imposed on Kahoolawe or even Pearl Harbor. We don't want any of your war junk or your war tests on our peaceful island! Please Do something good for our Islands; instead of incessant spending on all of the fuel literally wasted by your military test flights, put the funds into supporting US to become more self-sufficient instead of relying on imported food and fuel, or fund a mass-transportation system, that's convenient and works for the People, or give us a new hospital in Kona. Just do something to help the People of Hawaii, instead of continuing to harm us, our health and not only Peace,but Peace of mind No one will convince (other than by force or imposition) the People of Hawaii that low-flying cargo jets are going to be in the Best Interest of the People. Listen to the Voice of the People, we are all not young children, who can not think or speak, we KNOW we do not want the Military disrupting our peaceful skies, our children, families, elderly, homes, our land, our oceans or our lives in any way!!! Listen to what the People want we don't want ANY more military activity on the Big Island: No More Depleted Uranium (which you insisted lying to us about), No Stryker Brigades, and NO C17 CARGO JETS!!!!!! Take your War equipment and Soldiers off of this island and Go Away!!!! Tanya Long Gomm: Na g Ref. Toe rreseW_~ Ref. Date la" PR 21 2008
