   Boycott Gettysburg

   We loved Gettysburg: got married there, considered moving there, took dozens   
   of week-long trips, spent many thousands of dollars there, but those days   
   are over thanks to park superintendent John Latschar. He's ruining the   
   battlefield while calling it restoration. Desecration is more descriptive.   
   We decided if we spent another dime we'd be supporting the destruction.   
   Trees are being ripped out by the acre. The deer have been slaughtered.   
   Visiting the battlefield on a  Nov. evening is an experience everyone should   
   be able to enjoy, but he shortened the hours so you'll be ticketed and   
   labeled criminals. He likes saying, "The time for comment was during the   
   planning, not now." Well, Bozo, the public DID and continues to comment, but   
   you ignore them for your self-centered agenda.  Tens of 1000s have voiced   
   their concern, but you act as though the battlefield is your own private   
   domain. It belongs to the taxpayers, not an arrogant government appointed   
   bureaucrat. Ghost hunters have been turned away in droves. Not only is the   
   town losing a fortune toward the local economy, the park is losing thousands   
   of watchful eyes from some of the most respectful visitors. Those with evil   
   intent will always gain access at night as was proven by the recent   
   vandalism, closing the park merely keeps honest folks out. John Latschar   
   has, in affect, given vandals free rein. Attendance is lagging. He blames   
   everything except his own bumbling policies. He moans about never having   
   enough money, yet continues wasting funds on mindnumbingly senseless   
   projects that divide the townspeople and drives others away. It's typical   
   government ineptness. Looks like John Latschar sits around dreaming up new   
   ways to piss people off. If he's not shooting the wildlife, cutting down   
   100s of acres of trees, or screwing up direction of traffic, he'll come up   
   with some other dumbass plan. Will John Latschar donate the lost revenue   
   from his own pocket? LOL! Chances are he'll eventually move on to another   
   location leaving his mess and debts behind for someone else, much as he did   
   in the past. The only thing worse than allowing John Latschar to inflict so   
   much damage to such hallowed ground is--too few have the stones to do   
   anything about it. Talk is cheap, holding back spending speaks volumes.   
   We're doing our part. Good bye Gettysburg. You were our favorite place on   
   Earth until John Latschar raped you. Now you're just a memory. What a pity.
