Dear Friends,
 
    Sam Pesin is correct and speaks for our Local when he says that we oppose the Liberty State Park South End Millionaires' Marina proposal.  We do.  Private interests have spent years trying to get their greedy hands on this tiny bit of people's space and were in not for Sam and the Liberty State Park friends,  we would have nothing but a water park, a golf course, marinas and parking lots, instead of a glorious testiment to the promise of America.
 
    We represent the workers who have devoted their working lives to land stewardship.  It is workers such as these that have left us our State and National Parks and Forests to care for and maintain for generations to come.
 
    Each time we choose public space and public assets over private interests we recommit to the American spirit of generosity and small 'd' democracy.  When balanced against the need for open space, there is hardly a need to for docking the yachts of the well-heeled and well-connected.
 
 Thank you Friends of Liberty State Park and all who stand in the breach for for the soul of America, as oppose to its wallet. 
 
In Solidarity,
 
Hetty Rosenstein
President, CWA Local 1037
