Startling new information on the harmful effects of aircraft noise on children will be presented. A representative from the U.S. Air Force may also be in attendance to discuss the F-35A basing process and to answer questions.
The purpose of the event is to share this new information about the F35’s projected health hazards, and to give the people who are affected by this basing decision the opportunity to ask questions, express their concerns, and make comments.

Saturday July 13th, 2:00 PM Rally starting at Burlington City Hall – The purpose of this rally is to express to the Congressional Delegation and our State leaders our disappointment in not listening to our voices in a public hearing setting to answer our questions and to hear our concerns. We will walk to the offices of Welch, Sanders and Leahy, hearing short speeches at each stop, and concluding at City Hall. We need speakers, many people with signs and a lot of enthusiasm. This rally will be our final event before the July 15thdeadline for comments to the Air Force on the final DEIS.
Monday July 15th, – Last day to mail public comments to the Air Force regarding the basing of the F-35 at the BIA. Comments can be communicated in several forms of mail. The easiest is to go to the “stopthef35.com” web site and respond to CALL TO ACTION by clicking on Nick Germanos’ email. The email will come up on your screen and send a message as to why you do not want the F-35 to be based at Burlington International Airport. Comment bullets are available with this information.
Or you can email him directly at: [email protected]
Secondly, you may send a slow mail letter to Mr Nicholas Germanos, HQ ACC/A7PS, 129 Andrews St. Suite 337, Langley AFB VA 23665-9900.
The final method is to fill out a post card that a supporter of the F-35 will make available.
We need to communicate as many of these comments as possible to the Air Force. Encourage friends, family, etc. to do the same no later than Monday, July 15th, 2013.
