Chance To Comment

> THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO COMMENT !!

> If You Have Not Responded Yet To The FAA - Now Is The Time To Act
>
> >From now through tomorrow night only, April 6th, the FAA will be
receiving
> and compiling comments concerning the O'Hare Modernization Plan (OMP) from
> the public-at-large. At a time when there continues to be a tremendous
> amount of pressure and political influence from the political "powers that
> be", it is imperative that EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US who is concerned about
> the future of both St. Johannes and Rest Haven Cemeteries, speak out now
> concerning our disapproval of the OMP, and the permanent and devastating
> impact it will have upon these Cemeteries. It is critical for all readers
to
> come together as "one voice" to address our concerns about our cemeteries
to
> those government officials who will very soon be making final decisions
and
> recommendations as to the feasibility of the (OMP) project.
>
>
> This Is Our LAST Chance to Comment to the FAA
> Each of our voices is important. It is requested that all readers of this
> eNews, who have not yet done so, take some time to compose and send off
> their own important comments to the FAA. The composition does not need to
be
> a long, in-depth argument, but rather, just a simple paragraph or two
> straightforwardly explaining why you object to the OMP being forced upon
us.
> What is important here is NOT the length nor detailed explanation, but
> rather, the response itself, simply expressing your belief that the
> expansion project should not be accepted for its negative impact upon
these
> important and historic cemeteries, or for any other reason you may have.
> This is an important opportunity for us all. Each and every comment must
be
> accounted for and registered in the FAA findings. Therefore, your
individual
> voice is more important than ever, and your participation more critical
than
> ever, as well. It doesn't matter where you reside in relationship to
O'Hare
> International Airport. Your voice of "personal objection" to this project
is
> what matters most.
>
> The FAA has extended the final deadline for receiving comments to
midnight,
> Wednesday, April 6th. All comments received by this deadline must be
> considered. The FAA provides three ways to submit comments.
>
> The most effective way to do this is by sending an e-mail to
<mailto:>
> or
> by fax (847-294-7046).
>
> As shared in the last edition of the SJCA eNews, there is a lot that can
be
> quickly and briefly shared in your responses:
> * The violation of the religious freedoms of St. John's United Church of
> Christ in Bensenville, to freely practice its religious faith - a First
> Amendment Right under the United States Constitution
> * The indecent disinterment of loved ones, if you have family or
ancestors
> buried at either St. Johannes or Rest Haven Cemeteries
> * The negative impact upon the historical value of these sacred grounds
> * The permanent loss of information and/or a place to connect with our
> ancestors in our genealogical research and pursuits, of which our
cemeteries
> are a most valuable part.
> * The devastating precedence this will set for future public projects in
> generations to come, and the resulting loss of individual and community
> freedoms and rights, and our history, as presently guaranteed under law.
>
> Personal reasons for your cemetery concerns will vary. But, the most
> important thing is that the FAA hear from each and everyone of us.
>
> Remember, the comments do not have to be long, detailed, in-depth
arguments
> - just a brief to-the-point sharing of your personal objection to the OMP
> and the destructiveness that it will bring to St. Johannes and Rest Haven
> Cemeteries.
>
> Here again is what you will need:
>
> Comment Deadline: April 6, 2005
> Email Address: <mailto:>
> Fax Number: 847-294-7046
>
> When emailing to faxing your comments, please remember to make sure the
word
> "cemeteries" is in your subject line.
>
> If you have not yet responded to the FAA with your comments, I strongly
urge
> you to do so IMMEDIATELY, so that your response will be counted and filed
> with the FAA findings.
>
> The success of our several years of efforts is now in the hands of each
one
> of us. If you have not yet done so, please respond with your comments NOW.
