We need this park.

]]> Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:46:38 UTC 8212583 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/8205232?utm_medium=rss As the White House is lauding an effort to embrace the land and encourage healthy living, outdoor activity, community gardens, support of local markets and eating fruits and vegetables, how can the US Marines even consider the backwards direction toward making this community into a "food desert?" It is unthinkable! Check out www.LETSMOVE.gov! I expect you will see that the United States Marine move should not take away this community success story!

Such important and vibrant forms of peaceful and productive domestic community should be EXPANDED not eliminated out of expediency.
