NASA/JPL Environmental Lip Service

[Celtic warrior]

you e-mails to the supplied e-mail address must be received no later than April7th, 2006

Dear Taxpayers:

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena California is planning to spend 78
Million of your tax dollars to erect the Space Flight Projects Building.

They believe that the 78 million dollars is sufficient for 180,000 square
feet of commercial space. The accepted price per square foot of
commercial space is $110.00 per square foot.


If JPL hold true to form, they will start this mess, and then claim they found some unexpected problem (dinosaur bones under the building? Bigfoot?) then they will ask NASA and the taxpayers for more of your money.


Adding to the horror is the fact that JPL plans on cutting down 17
mature trees, including one oak tree and many 100 foot tall pines and a
number of liquid amber trees.

The section of land is home to many nesting birds, including raptors.
It is home to numerous other animals, toads, lizards, deer and many others.

Only you, the taxpayers, can stop this monstrosity. Only your e-mails to
this e-mail can make a difference:

Also, call or e-mail the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee,
Bill Thomas. This appropriation must go through Ways and Means AND THEY
HAVE THE POWER TO STOP IT IN ITS TRACKS.

E-mail your Senators and Congressmen.

JPL has 174 acres of land, but claims this is the only place this
Building can be built, which is nonsense. The hillside where the trees
live would have to be gutted and the rape of this land is intolerable.

Please take the time to e-mail your concerns/comments ASAP.

I cannot leave my name here, or I will be fired for my concern. I have
Voiced my opinion over this mess for years and JPL/Caltech has harassed
me for years.

Please do not let them take your money for a building they do not need.

Please be articulate, professional and focus on the taxpayer abuse.
