I live in San Francisco and I am tired of the Supervisor's wasting my tax dollars and their time on issues where they have no control. Please post this help us get San Francisco back. I live in San Francisco and on Friday I was watching the morning news and I learned that the San Francisco Board of Supervisors is considering a policy to ban the Blue Angels during Fleet Week. Since the tragic accident in South Carolina the US Navy has cleared the Blue Angels to perform. I am under impression this is more of political move than an issue about safety. Historically you'll see that the Blue Angels have an excellent safety recorded and the FAA and US Navy take every effort to protect the pilots and the spectators. The pressure to cancel the Blue Angels is coming primarily from special interest groups not San Francisco residents. Keep in mind that Fleet Week generates over $4 million in revenue for the city annually. In addition to safety Code Pink sites "fuel waste" as an issue. We would save more fuel and energy if everyone in the city used energy saving light bulbs than an annual 2 day air show. See link below. Buy am energy saving light bulb and spend your on educating American's on that issue. The airhsow is not only a point of pride for citizens also for the men and woman in the arm services. This is chance from them to display their professional excellence with honor. This policy is being considered and introduced by Chris Daly (Chris Daly | chris.Daly@sfgov.org 415-554-7970) NEXT WEEK, therefore please take just a moment and email your Daly and the Supervisor today. Additionally, take a few moments and email this to your friends, family and co-workers. If you're not a resident please email the Mayor. Keep in mind we don't have any special interest groups to help us this is entirely a grassroots effort. If you want to save the Blue Angel's please act today and encourage others to do so as well. Thank you, Adam EMAIL TEMPLATE It is best to put these type if letters in your own words but feel free to use this template. Also use your contact information so you're identified as a real person and not spam. **** I want the Blue Angels to continue to perform at Fleet Week as they have for years. In addition to clear economic benefits of the event this is an annual tribute which I have enjoyed with my friends and family for years. Please do not let special interest groups take away one of the most unique events in San Francisco. Thank you. Supervisors: Click on your district and their contact field.

Support the troops? Don’t we often hear lefties in the media claim they support the troops but not the mission? French troops maybe.

S.F. would be a nice place to live if it weren’t for the people.

Perhaps singer/songwriter Heather Nova will not mind if I quote from her tribute to Amelia Earhart, entitled “I Miss My Sky” and place it in another context.

But sometimes
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes
Sometimes I wonder
Why we’re always coming down
Why we need to touch the ground
Why I didn’t keep on heading
Right on up to heaven
I miss my sky
I miss my sky

(the song appears on her beautiful CD “Redbird.”)

I think we should kick SF and Marin county out of the country. They should call themselves Sodom and Gomorrah.

My x-husband went to San Fran on a buisness trip last year and came back saying he saw things no mortal should ever have to witness. If these pink-o-wack jobs get this cancelled, I agree, let’s withold the military help when the next quake hits em.

From the leaning straight up link:

Can we boycott The City now?

How bout the *wall not being built money* go to an *all illegal south of the border bunch* and have’em erect one high enough to keep the stench from the morons in San Fran Freakshow in. They can build it from the inside and when they get done, go live with traitorous asshats in the skanktuary city……..all 12 million of them.

I worked in San Francisco for a year and half. There were more intolerant and judgmental people there than anywhere else I’ve been.

Every one of them thought they knew what I thought because I came from Virginia. They also thought they knew what my neighbors in VA were like and… they thought that Virginians were part of the problem being part of the “bible belt”. And oh my. You’d think Pat Robertson was the only person in Virginia on TV.

San Francisco tries to Ban the Blue Angels

Can we boycott The City now?

Honestly this is just depressing because growing up I had some great times and memories in San Francisco. But now I don’t know if I can stomach going back there:

So maybe the Hornets of the BLUES should be armed? It would not bother me to see weapons released over san fran nanville. They are useless f***ing civilian scumbags anyway. I have done more for this country in ONE DAY than all of those dirtbags have thought of in their eintire collective lives.

I agree with LA Hawk. I grew up in Silicon Valley, which is about an hour south of the city of San Francisco, and I served as a sonar tech on submarines in the US Navy from 1999 to 2003. San Francisco disgusts me, they spit on veterans regularly. Plus they are against capitalism and strongly in favor of communism. I agree with Veterans for Peace on some points, but I don’t support them here since they’re dishonoring the fine Naval Aviators who fly the blue angels jets.

San Francisco politicos have such utter disdain for the military, until they need help after a natural disaster like an earthquake. Then, they'll come calling and howl faster than you can imagine if the military isn't there before the shaking stops. They'll complain that the military doesn't have enough capabilities to help with the relief efforts, etc. And all the while, they'll stop at nothing to dishonor those who serve. They did so when the Navy considered placing a battleship, the USS Iowa, in the harbor as part of a museum along the waterfront. I also have this footage of the Blue Angels in action, which I included in my Memorial Day coverage.

May I add my “AYE!!!”

The city of San Francisco really makes me sick to my stomach. The very military they despise are the reason why they can say such idiotic things in the first place.
