Dear [Board Member Wisconsin Federation of Teachers],

I am beginning to help organizations like the Sierra Club from Toronto, to Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago, etc., all the way up to Deluth, to awaken the citizens of this great bio-region to the continued degradation of the world’s largest body of fresh water.

Is it conceivable that the Wisconsin Federaton of Teachers can assign a task force to explore the issue of stewardship of the Great Lakes? If not that, might you consider connecting our efforts with your members already working to preserve the Great Lakes?

Here is what we have been sending forth:

Please join in opposition to the militarization of our Great Lakes!

Become active or at least aware of an emerging Great Lakes culture.

No live fire war games in the Great Lakes!

The United States Coast Guard has announced plans to turn the GreatLakes, the world’s largest body of fresh water, into the world’s largest freshwater shooting range. Since 1817, a treaty between the U.S. and Canada prohibited this kind of activity on the Great Lakes. But when President Bush made the Coast Guard part of the Department of Homeland Security in 2004, he reinterpreted the agreement with Canada.

This glorious view of our Sweet Inland Seas viewed from the heavens can be a key image in your minds eye!
