Time to fund tower fight

Editor: The Cross-Border Coalition has put out a call for funds to help fight and stop the installation of the KRPI radio transmitter towers in Point Roberts.

Editor: The Cross-Border Coalition has put out a call for funds to help fight and stop the installation of the KRPI radio transmitter towers in Point Roberts. Donating to the legal fund is a relatively effortless but very effective way for all Tsawwassen residents to help stop these tower transmitter installations.

If Tsawwassen residents experience the same interference problems that the residents of Ferndale are experiencing, notwithstanding the possible health and property value concerns,

what is the cost to you for the aggravation, the inconvenience and invasion of privacy you may experience? If you and your home experience similar interference problems, and if and when KRPI responds to you out of a queue of thousands, how fast will that response be? How effective will it be? Who will pay for the "fixes" and how much of your time will you have to stay at home waiting for the engineer to arrive? What is your time worth to you? Given the nightmarish scenario described above,

I believe that digging into your pocket now and sending in a donation to the good people of the Cross-Border Coalition to help fund the lawyers fighting this issue before it is too late is money well spent.

Every dollar (Canadian or U.S.) helps. Donate at the following: Town hall meeting on Tuesday, March 18 at 7 p.m. at Tsawwassen United Church, 693-53rd St.

Send cheque to PRTA/FTT, P.O. Box 158, Point Roberts, WA, 98281.
