We are not scientists. But common sense tells us that the proposed BHP Billiton project known as Cabrillo Port should be stopped. We have both been active in meetings to try to terminate the project. It will not serve the citizens of Oxnard and Malibu well, along with the millions of Southern Californians who use our beaches, and may impact their safety due to environmental factors or may cause danger due to possible explosions, not to mention that it will definitely affect our fragile sea life.
We urge you to contact Governor Schwarzenegger, Lt. Governor John Garamendi, Director of Finance Michel C. Genest, California State Controller John Chiang, Executive Officer of the California State Lands Commission Paul Dl Thayer, Commandant Mark Prescott of the United States Coast Guard, and Chairman Patrick Kruer of the California Coastal Commission. Please attend the planned meetings on Wednesday April 4, 5 to 8 p.m., and Monday, April 9, starting at 10 and going all day, both at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center, 800 Hobson Way, Oxnard. This is our final chance to make our feelings known to Governor Schwarzenegger who has the sole veto power over this project.
