>My dad is an artist, mom is a CPA, and  both Pete and I are
>homeschooled and love Soccer, Rugby, and lots of cool music.
>I need your help to save the Ichetucknee River from a 180 MILLION
>dollar Cement Plant being built by Anderson Mining and Development,
>that will destroy this Rivers springfed headwaters. The Ichetucknee
>Springs State Park is visited each summer season by kids, and
>families, scouts and church groups, and just groups of friends
>enjoying a great moment of beauty and peace in the unspoiled and
>pristine North Central Florida backwoods as they float lazily down
>tree covered winding ribbons of ice cold water, so clear you can see
>the sparkle in Mother Nature's eyes as the sun filters down thru the
>centuries old, 70ft tall, Florida Cypress trees. About 200,000 kids
>play in the Ichetucknee Springs and River each year.The Ichetucknee
>is Mother Nature's perfect waterpark for grandparents and kids to
>play together.

>become a louder voice in the running of this world, as well it should
>be that we kids are heard on matters of protecting the environment.
>No "kidding".
>The "grown-ups" have given us a World of hunger, pollution, war, and
>poverty, and, since this new Millennium is OUR Millinneum, we kids need
>to step in and make the grown-ups STOP tearing the place up before we
>kids even get a shot at running this planet.
>At the rate the "grown-ups" are going, they will leave us very little
>to build on. It's us, the kids of 2000, that will have to live in
>this mess with our own kids in the year 2025.
