Dear Anti-LNG Campaign members,

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Governor Christie has officially vetoed the Liberty
Natural Gas project! After nearly four years of hard work, we have seen
the end of 3 LNG projects for now. Thank you to all of you for your
efforts in making this possible. =20

Despite the Governor's letter, the Coast Guard is still moving ahead
with the hearings. It is important that everyone still attends and
encourages others to attend as well. Have your testimony ready to go
and bring copies with you if you can.

Subject: Coast Guard Hearing Re: LNG Gas Terminal

FYI I just wanted to make sure you all saw the email Anthony sent out a few minutes ago.

Dear Friend,

Concerned about preserving our coastal habitat? Me too. That's why I had the U.S. Coast Guard come to our community to hear your thoughts about a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal off of the Rockaway peninsula.

The hearing is today, Tuesday, February 8th. The doors open at 5:00pm and the hearing starts at 6:30pm in the auditorium at Beach Channel High School, 100-00 Beach Channel Drive, Rockaway Park, NY.

But if you can't make it there, I'm bringing the hearing to you (well, at least to your computer).

I will be streaming the hearing LIVE on my website: www.weiner.house.gov starting at 6:30pm.

You can always share your thoughts with me by calling my community office at 520-9001.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Anthony

Rescued from euth list for today at ACC
10 month old male pit mix
housebroken, sits on command
very very affectionate and playful

This little boy cowers at broom sticks so we can assume he has seen life 's dark side. Still, his disposition is so sunny. Found as a stray, rescued the day before he was to be put down. Whoever adopts Toby will have a best friend for life!!

We forgot to take a picture of what we had before we sold out!

2010-05-24T07:01:00.001-07:00

The tail end of our busy saturday when we had sold out of our watercress, baby lettuce, spinach, and most of the pears and apples. We got more spinach, strawberries, wild spinach, and radishes for sunday. We will have more fruits and veggies for next weekend to keep up! Thanks everyone for coming out to see us!

It's getting crafty at the farm stand.

2010-05-24T06:49:00.001-07:00

Some of the local kids have been hanging out, make signs for us and coloring in the graffiti in front of our space.

Here's one they made for us and Jack's coffee, who is now sharing the space with us.

Jah bless our bench.
