Victory!!!

From Steve McNallen of the AFA:

VICTORY AT THORNBOROUGH!

On January 27th, we sent you an emergency "call to arms" in defense of the 5,500 year-old ritual area known as Thornborough, in England.

A gravel company had asked for permission to extend their quarrying operations into archeologically-rich areas adjacent to this"Stonehenge of the North." Approval of their permit application would have been a significant blow to England's ancient heritage.

We asked you to send faxes, and you responded with energy and determination.

Your efforts, and those of everyone who fought to protect this site,have been rewarded with victory. The permit has been denied. The newspaper account reports that more than a thousand letters of objection were received, and that the petition in defense ofThornborough had 9,680 signatures. I am sure many of you were counted in that tally.

Thank you for fighting alongside us.

We can make a difference!
