I’m writing to support Lovel Pratt’s candidacy for County Council, District 1.
In my role as a member of Lopez No COALition, I have had the pleasure of working with her and seen her in action in her role as a County Council member on the issue of the proposed coal export terminal at Cherry Point. I have been very impressed by her commitment in defense of SJ ecology and economy.
I found her to listen well, work hard and strategically, build alliances and take effective action in leading the County Council to have a clear, strong voice in the Environmental Impact Statement process thus far. I have confidence that her vision, skills and knowledge will serve us well on the issue of coal export as well as others of significance to our islands.
I also support what she stands for: thriving local economy, ecology and community. Please vote for Lovel Pratt.

The proposed coal port would negatively impact us all, especially if a major oil spill occurred here due to the increased traffic. even if we don’t care about much besides ourselves, we know that if the natural world here is ruined property values and the tourism industry will suffer immensely. Therefore this is a great Goliath to unite us, to preserve what we love, for our common welfare.
Take what is still happening in the Gulf of Mexico: Corexit, the toxic oil dispersant is still being dumped into the Gulf, the ongoing environmental catastrophe has been called “the worst in human history.”
I wonder why this isn’t on the TV?
