Sherman, If I am reading this correctly, you want us to write a letter that reads something similiar to: "We are asking the county to force the Soccer association to mitigate their impacts on the current users groups and pay for the rent on a new property. Pretty simple really. After all, the county makes all developers pay million in mitigation fees, we just want a new piece of dirt." Is this correct? I just want to be clear what I am asking the council members. I am sorry your situation has not gotten any better. Best of luck, thanks. TDL

Sport Fans, Many of you know that The Seattle Area Soaring Society sued the local county over the county efforts to place more soccer fields on the field where we fly. (60 Acres South). Unfortunately, the judge ruled in the county's favor. So, now we are considering an appeal. In the meantime, we are still trying to work out a political solution. The political solution has potential, but we need your help. Back in 2002 we asked for letters from the soaring community. We thought we were going to loose the field to a sewage treatment facility. The help from you guys was nothing short of amazing and we beat the dreaded Turd Plant. We need that kind of help again. Below are the email addresses of the current council members in King County. Please send in a letter. I does not need to be a long letter, just a couple of paragraphs. It worked again and it can work again.

All of its fields are on county property and the association has never paid a dime in rent. In the instant case the soccer association has stated in a declaration it wants the additional field space so it can put on larger tournaments so it can make more money. Amazing. Please do not be afraid to spread this post around to other list serves. The more the better. Some will want to know how much time do we have? Well, about a week. Our goal is 1400 letters. Every single letter makes a difference. Thanks in advanced for your help. The Seattle Area Soaring Society _____ It's Tax Time!
