This is straight out of the Ancesty.com Newsletter... ========================================================================================= Online Petition to Save Florida State Library and Archives The Florida Historical Society has created a website to collect electronic signatures for a petition about the State Library of Florida closing. The petition will be sent to the governor and members of the State Legislature on 28 February 2003. Click here to view the petition and add your name. The petition can also be accessed through the Florida Historical Society home page. ================================================================================ Link: http://www.floridahistory.info/petition/ This is very very disturbing to me. I have read the Resolution from the Florida Historical Society, and it says that the Governor's new budget doesn't allow funding for the State Library. It also restricts the funding for historical preservation. This also eliminates jobs in a bad economy. What kind of message is this sending to the people of Florida, the other Governors and the American people. I have signed the petition and will be sending some letters if I can find some email addresses. This is truly a very sad situation. Please go and sign this, because it could be us fighting for our State Library and Archives next. Thanks, Drew Slate Fort Worth, Tx
