May 4 2014 Rally

 

Stopping a train isn’t easy. Stopping 32 trains a day sounds impossible, particularly when they’re traveling at speeds up to 110 miles per hour through our communities. But, we must stop these trains. Otherwise we’ll face traffic jams at crossings, boats blocked at bridges, air and noise pollution everywhere and public safety hazards every day. In time our tourism and property values will decline as well.

All Aboard Florida, the company behind these trains, is a subsidiary of a firm backed by Fortress, a $62 billion hedge fund whose only goal is profit for shareholders. Disruption, damage and danger for residents are not their concern. They’ve even gone so far as to claim they’re a private company while at the same time seeking a $1.5 billion loan from the federal government. They act like their unstoppable and don’t have to explain themselves to anyone. We call their train Big Choo Choo, evil on wheels.

We’re Florida Not All Aboard, a grassroots organization fighting to stop Big Choo Choo. With over 10,000 petition signatories, our movement is growing daily. Recently both Commissioner Sarah Heard and Congressman Patrick Murphy have begun questioning Big Choo Choo. In response, All Aboard Florida has hired a big PR firm to silence our growing public outcry using the vast resources and government contacts of Fortress.

Now we’re planning a major campaign including TV, print, EBlasts, phone calls, letters, emails and community presentations. Our goal is to stop Big Choo Choo in his tracks. To make this a reality, we need your support. Sign our petition. Join our “Stop Big Choo Choo Rally” in downtown Stuart on May 4.

See you on May 4th!
