PLEASE HELP PROTECT THE FLORIDA WE LOVE!

The voters get it!  A recent Everglades Foundation poll shows that 81% of Florida voters think "We need the state to manage new development to protect our rivers, lakes, streams, and beaches from pollution." 

Now we need to educate Florida's leaders.  Citizen outrage over the state's declining quality of life resulted in the enactment of Florida's landmark growth management and environmental laws in the 1970s and 1980s.  We need your vocal support once more!
