THE FICTION OF "OVERWHELMING SUPPORT" FOR THE GYPSUM CANYON PROPOSED SITE OF THE CEMETERY
The
advovates of the Gypsum Canyon site launched an impressive campaign the
pupose of which is to deceive the legislators and their constituencies
into believing in that fiction. We know from the news that all 33
cities of Orange County passed resolutions of support of designation of
Gypsum Canyon as
the new site of the Veterans' Cemetery. What is missing in this
campaign, though, is any form of consultation with or polling of the
local residents about whether they want to have a cemetery built at
Gypsum Canyon or not.
Unlike Gypsum Canyon site, the
ARDA site on the grounds of the former Marine Corps Air Station in El Toro, Irvine, has been voted for by the majority of Irvine's residents and approved by the California Legislature. The reason why the construction of the Cemetery has not begun there was an opposition of three (3) members of Irvine's City Council. Now, the very same group that, ostensibly, was unable to convince those three council members to drop their opposition against the ADRA site have convinced well over hundred council members of cities across the Orange County to support the Gypsum Canyon location that in about every aspect is worse than the ADRA site. This fact alone strongly suggests that the actual main objective of the said group was to block the on-going, well-conceived plan for the Veterans' Cemetery at the ARDA site in Irvine rather than to build such Cemetery in the Orange County.
RESIDENTS PROTEST ON DECEMBER 8, 2021
As the information about that plans spreads among the mostly unsuspecting residents, the fiction of "overwhelming
support" is beginning to crack. For instance, on December 8, 2021, a
group of local residtents launched a protest at the proposed site
during the ceremony of "groundbreaking" for the still unapproved
Cemetery.
Here is a picture that appeared in printed edition of Orange
County Register on December 8, 2021.
Here is a picture that was posted in Orange Juice Blog that with a snapshot of the protest.
Here is the bottom line.
The success of local residents' efforts to stop the plan of building cemeteries
at Gypsum Canyon depends of public visibility and volume of their
objections. It is not enough to disapprove, however strongly, that
controversial plan. An incontrovertible evidence that local residents
oppose the cemeteries at Gypsum Canyon must become widely known.
Some civic-minded local residents took the initiative, produced signs against cemeteries
at Gypsum Canyon, and posted them at various locations in Anaheim Hills
and Yorba Linda.
If there were hunders of similar signs posted
on the front lawns and other places visible to local traffic then the
fiction of "overwhelming support" for the cemeteries would have been
debunked once and for all. In case you decide on you own to follow the example of those civic-minded
local residents, please, make sure to not post anything where it is
prohibited by the law or may obstruct traffic or create any kind of
hazard.
You may wish to contact webmaster@gypsum91.com with any questions or comments. Also, you are welcome to send him pictures of your signs if you decided on you own to post them.
