Editor,

I’m just asking you to please tell those whom support Outlying Field Coupeville to speak up. We on the right and in the center do not stage events for the media. But we can be heard in a respectful, cumulative manner that drowns out the Citizens of Ebey’s Reserve.

How? A brief comment entered to the US Navy at http://whidbeyeis.com/Comment.aspx supporting Scenario A — maximizing OLF use — could go a long way and be part of the official record.

The Navy is required by law to respond to each comment as an appendix to the final EIS, and keep tallies of the patriots-versus-opponents of OLF Coupeville.

For those who’ve the moxie to be face forward and attend a Navy EIS meeting, your best bet is Dec. 6, 2016 at the Oak Harbor Elks Lodge, 155 NE Ernst Street, from 4-7 p.m.

WhidbeyEIS.com has other meetings and locations listed under “public involvement” if that time is incompatible for you.

But as anybody can say anything in the Wild West of the Internet, I fundamentally believe in my American soul as they say on “The West Wing:” Decisions are made by those who show up.
