Petition for access: Jones Beach, NY
Please be advised that kiteboarders in the NY area have started a petition for access to Jones Beach State Park ("Jones Beach"), Long Island.
Jones Beach is on a narrow barrier island, and stretches from the bayside across to the oceanside. The oceanside offers waves and, only steps away, the bayside offers miles of flat shallows. Park authorities have recently taken the position that kiteboarding is not permitted at Jones Beach. The Petition requests access at defined launch areas on the bayside and oceanside. The goal is to collect 800 signatures. Below please find a link to the Petition for your consideration: http://tinyurl.com/o37scu Any support would be greatly appreciated. Thx, JK |

Wow! Without knowing the full story, it seems to be a kneejerk reaction by the park to deny access. That must be so frustrating for them. I signed. Sounds like a group of people being alienated just because of their choice of recreation. State Park Tax Paying people, no-less.
Ever hear of the Declaration of Human Rights by NATO? We're part of Nato right!? Article 13 " Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state." Article 20 "Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association." Article 27 "Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits." |
