Here’s a sample of the type of tweets you can send…

 

Here’s a link to the video which exposes the Florida Park Service’s plans to eliminate Wild Waters and how they don’t care what the public wants; https://youtu.be/bKN3TLN7H-c

Here’s the Wild Waters main page which exposes how how citizens rights have been violated by Florida State officials including forcing plans opposed by the public, refusal to allow a referendum on a public issue, official State Advisory group violation of stated mission, conflict of interest, violation of neutrality,  lack of representation, violations of Democracy and the Florida Attorney General’s office failing to respond to complaints;

TIME IS RUNNING OUT. WILD WATERS DEMOLITION
COULD BEGIN ON SEPTEMBER 3, 2016.

 

This video shows that the Florida Park Service plan to close Wild Waters at the end of the 2016 season. This is why it is essential that everyone call Florida State Officials and demand that Wild Waters remain open. If we don’t make a lot of noise about this, Wild Waters WILL be destroyed.

We also need an attorney to sue the State of Florida to stop them from destroying Wild Waters so if you know of an attorney who may be interested, please ask them to Contact Us .

Don’t be fooled by the comment at the end of the video about building another Water Park in another location. There are no such plans. Also, many people has fond memories of Wild Waters and would be devastated if it were torn down..

There is no need for Wild Waters to be closed. It is simply the preference of bureaucrats who wants to use the property for a more “Park Like Setting” and don’t care what the public wants.

In the above video, Silver Springs Park Manager Sally Lieb states; “You’ve got the State Park, the Greenway & trails, and there’s the huge national forests, so we want that corner to represent that and having the water park there doesn’t give anybody that feeling when their heading in that direction”.

This is the REAL reason they want to close our Water Park. They have stated in public records that “State officials have come to see it as an eyesore” and it’s “not part of the Park Service mission”.

These type of comments prove they are personally biased against Wild Waters and want it gone for their own personal reasons.

The ultimate purpose of Florida State Officials should be to serve the people. Plans to eliminate Wild Waters are in direct opposition to what the people want.

Marion County Florida Commissioners refused to let people vote on keeping Wild Waters and they refused to take any action to save Wild Waters. They should therefore all be voted out of office by voting for their opponents when & if they seek re-election.

DETAILS: On May 6, 2014, a member of the Save Wild Waters Group took the petition to the Marion County Commissioners (all are Republicans) and asked them to make sure Wild Waters was preserved for citizens in Florida. They were also asked to put a referendum on the ballot so the people of Marion County Florida could vote on keeping Wild Waters.

The request to make sure Wild Waters was preserved and the request to put a referendum on the ballot so citizens could vote on keeping Wild Waters was ignored by Marion County Commissioner.

A letter was sent to each Marion County Commissioner on behalf of the over 3,000 people who signed the petition asking them to stand up for the people in Marion County and make sure Wild Waters was preserved.

ALL of the Marion County Commissioners ignored the letter and they took no action to represent the wishes of the citizens they are supposed to serve.

Since Wild Waters is owned by the State of Florida, Florida citizens owns Wild Waters. State Officials should respect citizen’s wishes to keep this Water Park in our community and we should be entitled to a vote.

Marion County Commissioners failure to allow a referendum on the ballot so citizens could vote on keeping Wild Waters violates citizens rights and Democracy.

IMPORTANT: Please note that they do not have individual phone numbers or voice mails so you will be talking with a secretary. What’s important here is calls and email volume.

Here’s a few things you can say…

1. You support Wild Waters
2. You don’t appreciate the Marion County Commissioners ignoring citizens wishes to make sure Wild Waters is preserved
3. You don’t appreciate their failure to let the people to vote on keeping Wild Waters
4. You will be voting for someone else if they seek re-election.

You can send them a individual message by emailing them.

The Star Banner article “Wild Waters days are numbered” stated “County Commissioner Stan McClain, a member of the task force and the commission’s main champion for refocusing the facility toward ecotourism as a way to help the springs and create jobs, said the plan has provided a framework for accomplishing the county’s objectives”.

That statement indicates that Mr. McClain represented the wishes of 5 people, the Marion County Commissioners, not the citizens of Marion County. Therefore, Mr. McClain failed to represent citizens wishes as a member of the Silver Springs Advisory Group.

In June, 2014, a member of the Save Wild Waters Group asked Mr. McClain in a letter, in view of the fact that over 3,000 people signed a petition to save Wild Waters if he would change his mind about supporting plans to have Wild Waters demolished in 3 – 5 years.

Mr. McClain stated that he would not support any plans which include saving Wild Waters stating cost to taxpayers as a reason. That proves that his mind was made up and he was not representing citizen’s wishes as a member of the Silver Springs Advisory Group.

Also, the statement he made regarding cost to taxpayers is an invalid excuse because “taxpayers” signed the petition and stated they want Wild Waters to be preserved.

As mentioned in the Star Banner article “Wild Waters days are numbered”, the proposed changes to Silver Springs would run between $15 million and $20 million, so if there’s that kind of money available for Silver Springs, then there is plenty of money available to restore and preserve Wild Waters.

It seems that Mr. McClain has no problem spending tax payers money as long as it’s being spent the way he and Marion County Commissioners want.
