Election Day for Brandywine access

[lestrout]

Folks - here's your chance to do your civic duty for the good of trouts and us. You can refer to the recent posts on the DHALO problem of access to the fine East Branch of the Brandywine because of actions by the new owners of Shyrock Paper Mill (closing and fencing off the access to the beautiful Struble Trail).

The fine folks at Friends of Struble Trail have made our problem a front page issue. Go to http://www.friendsofthestrubletrail.org/ and see the Sunday banner front page article on the Daily Local. Sign the petition, if you haven't already.

Anyhow, all four candidates (both parties) have made promises to support this effort - amazing work that this FothST has done in just a few months!!

Your part? Besides signing the petition and getting your friends and relatives to sign also, go do your duty and vote in tomorrow's election. Chester County residents - you have a direct voice in this matter - but only if you do what so many soldiers and patriots have died for. Those of you in one of the newly split 3 Upper Uwchlan townships have an even more direct involvement, since you can let your local elected officials know what you would like to see happen.

Get 'er done.

Even if you live outside the districts mentioned, go vote. It takes like, what, five minutes? The only way to lessen the effects of special interests on our government policies is to have every eligible voter stand up and be counted. The special interests have more money than votes, but have learned how to use their money to purchase the ballot box. The politicians need votes, not money, but money is next best since it can buy votes. If you stay home, you just made that money more important to the politicians. Don't contribute to the problem by taking your vote out of the equation.
