Thank you to the “The Man in The Arena,” Joe Negron, SLR/IRL
Letter to Senator Negron, 2014
THE MAN IN THE ARENA
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
Theodore Roosevelt, from “Citizenship in a Republic,” Paris, 1910

Yes!
Note: I think you meant to write under the first photograph “Joe Negron at River Kidz protests at St Lucie Locks and Dam because of Lake O releases in 2002.” (not 2102).
Senator Negron does not know how to clean up our lagoon. Like most politicians he does know how to clean hard working tax payers bank account out. At least now maby people can focus their attention on bringing back the coquina formations and letting the calcium peroxide clean our lagoon waters

We better not still be trying to fix this problem in 2102 ;-).
Will change thx
Very important first step. I wonder if this editorial in the NY Times yesterday had any influence:

Very appropriate. Thanks Joe Negron for keeping the pressure on! Thanks Jacqui Thurlow-Lippisch for keeping the faith. Demand clean water!!
