The United Urban Warrior Society of Florida is dismayed that during such a enlightened period of history when Florida,The United States and much of the globe struggles with a failing economy,That the City of Saint Augustine would even consider spending thousands of dollars commemorating,not the founding of their city  but the involvement of Pedro Menendez & Juan Ponce de Leon in the history of St. Augustine and Florida.

Only the most unenlightened and uneducated could ever fail to realize that  most Native people can not help but be offended by this, as would be anyone with common sense.

Those funds  which could be better spent in the community in ways not offensive to the first citizens of this land.That  Federal Funds are being used to commemorate two of the first invaders of Indigenous people while the Federal Government owes billions of dollars to the tribes is reprehensible .
  
Since the nation of Spain has decided to be a party to this farce, perhaps they would find it appropriate for a community of  Florida’s original peoples to have a commemoration here and in Spain celebrating the Colusa  killing of Juan Ponce de Leon on his second invasion of their  homeland to take slaves, find gold and  perhaps the ever elusive Fountain of Youth?
    
We ask that the City of Saint Augustine do the right thing for once and show consideration for the feelings of Florida’s first citizens and  display some much needed fiscal responsibility to their own community.

Protest as The City of Saint Augustine Florida Plans on Honoring the Invaders Pedro Menendez & Juan Ponce de Leon who murdered raped and enslaved 1000s of Florida's original citizens

Florida Chapter Members Please Try to attend!

On August 27th, 2012, The American Indian Movement of Florida,
Ancient Trees, United Urban Warrior Society of Florida, and others will
encircle Castillo de San Marcos and walk unified in purpose to the City

of St. Augustine’s City Hall where we will be available to meet and
speak to the press and public.

Schedule
3:00 P.M. – Meet at Castillo de San Marcos near the entrance to the
Fort, close to the ticket both. Look for “Do Something Right for Once,
No. 2” sign.
3:30 P.M. – Encircle the Castillo de San Marcos (Fort) with a unified
vision that the Fort will be removed releasing the traumatic ills of
the past, and trapped ancestral spirits behind the walls of the Fort.
This will also assist in the release of conscious and unconscious guilt
and shame felt by many who understand what really happed at the Fort
and around the entire City of St. Augustine and beyond. This is just a
small beginning - A small step towards Respect and Healing of the
Nations. Writing more history books, putting up monuments and creating
gala affairs around murders will never remove the pain and suffering.
The Cause must be removed.
4:00 P.M. – Walk to the City of St. Augustine city hall. Meet the
Press.
5:00 P.M. – Attend and Speak at City of St. Augustine City
Commissioners Meeting.
