Letter: Stand and fight to preserve Red Rock

On March 29 a few hundred men, women and children gathered at Red Rock Overlook to protest the development of Red Rock. I was one of them and proud of it.

Throughout the history of this country there have been people like these, trying to save this country from some form of destruction. One young child said it all that day: Why should the animals have to die so houses can be built on Red Rock?

That protest should have had thousands in attendance. In future debates and meetings over the fate of Red Rock, please try to be a force for saving an area that only brings joy to people going there. Don't let it become an eyesore that we have to look at forever. Building show-off homes on two-acre lots is an eyesore to me.

Stand up and fight for what is right for Red Rock. We have servicemen in Iraq doing the same thing.
