Re: Comments about UNCW students

Thank you so much for all your support! Yesterday's rally was a great success, and we owe it the diverse group of community members who came out to protest Titan Cement. To those who question whether UNCW students should have any say; that we do not pay taxes: Who are you attacking here? A democracy is a democracy. I am a resident of Wrightsville Beach. Although I moved here for school, I plan to make Wilmington my home because I fell in love with the area. It is my, and ever other citizen of this country's Constitutional right to protest Titan Cement. Shame on you for chastising any demographic of the Wilmington community for voicing their concerns. Even if students will only live here for 4 yrs, they will still be exposed to a maximum of 1,052 lbs of mercury while at UNCW. Do you value human life or do you value your bank account? I pledge to you, as UNCW ECO's community outreach coordinator, that we will continue out efforts to spread the word throughout town, and to the 10,000 plus students, staff, and faculty at UNCW. I welcome you to join us in the fight for clean air, clean water, the health of our children, and a thriving economy in Wilmington. Visit http://www.uncweco.com for how to join us. Best, David Pinsky
