This is a sample letter which might be sent to legislators and others with interest and/or authority. Please feel free to change the wording to your own.

Dear __________ :

I am opposed to the announced closing of Indian Mountain State Park in Jellico, TN because:

  1. The impact on our local economy will be significant and vastly detrimental.

  2. The park is where our children come to play and learn about their environment and heritage. To take away this venue is unscrupulous.

  3. The total cost of closing the park will greatly negate any projected "savings", and the cost to reopen them later will be enormous.

Please use your influence to reverse this disastrous decision.

Sincerely,

Name:
Address:
