PLANET NEEDS CANDLESTICK MORATORIUM TO STOP ILLICIT DESTRUCTION AND CREATE NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR ...
Saving and extending the life of existing structures like San Francisco’s historic Candlestick Park stadium is one of the “Greenest” things America and California can do to reduce our dependence on fossil fuel.
San Francisco has been the “Home of American Soccer” for over 100 years (1902), and the earthquake-tested 70,000-seat stadium (replacement value: One Billion dollars) is perfectly suited to take on a new and exciting life as a “West Coast Center” for the growing world-class sport. Saving Candlestick will also allow it to continue serving for many decades as a venue for concerts, events - even other field sports like rugby and lacrosse – thus building on the City’s history. Saving and rejuvenating Candlestick will moreover make California an environmental leader by demonstrating how America can generate new Green jobs and industry while leaving more fossil fuel in the ground by simply conserving the vast “embodied energy” of the existing structure.
Unfortunately, thanks to outdated State and Federal legislation, citizens are being undemocratically denied proper review of City Hall’s latest hurried and deceptive move to sacrifice the valuable civic asset so politicians can give the “extra” land on which it sits to a developer of condos. Yet, very few citizens have been informed about vital plan changes suddenly being rushed by a City Hall that inaccurately claims that the unnecessary destruction of Candlestick will have no “significant” impact on climate change.
We therefore respectfully and urgently request a State and Federal MORATORIUM to prevent City Hall from ignoring the fact that San Franciscans actually never voted to destroy their world-famous Candlestick Park and strongly resisted the idea for twenty years.
US-CA Oversight will ensure that relevant State and Federal laws may be quickly and properly adjusted in order to help eliminate such needless destruction. It will also encourage new efforts for addressing climate change, creating a new definition of “Progress” that fosters new green industry and restores some Faith in democracy and Integrity in government.
Please step in to save Candlestick Park before it’s too late. City Hall wants to blow it up before people notice what is really happening here.

APOLOGIES TO SIGNERS:
The authors of this petition – Richard and Judy McRee of Eureka Valley, San Francisco – have returned after experiencing some months of further suppression of their U.S. Patent for a new green technology inspired by Candlestick – renewed suppression this time owing to the interference of a compromised Federal Magistrate in their 9-year struggle to defend their own work in the face of unconstitutional U.S. Patent Law that has allowed and enabled that suppression, and which has consequently deprived American Industry and Culture of any benefit from the energy-saving inventions.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~``
NOT JUST A LOCAL ISSUE: -< This PETITION is far from simply a personal issue – it defines a State, Federal, and International issue that has relevance to everyone. Despite the above-mentioned further suppression, it has already been signed by individuals from France to Thailand, from the East Coast to the West Coast – people who recognize that Global Warming has been caused by bad habits like excess consumption of fossil fuel and the unnecessary destruction of sound structures like Candlestick. All unnecessary destruction contributes to increasing Climate Change. There is no Magic Fuel; no Magic Product; no Magic Legislation that will fix the problems that old habits have caused. New habits and awareness are needed. Proper legislation is nevertheless vital.
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY: -< President Obama, Governor Jerry Brown, and San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee have a unique opportunity with this PETITION to help set our culture on a new path to help better address climate change. By temporarily suspending the impeding demolition of historic Candlestick Park, they will allow time to investigate how long-outdated Federal and State legislation allows the unnecessary destruction of Candlestick Park and the suppression of its related inventions for new Green Industry.
“NO BRAINER”: -< With the support of signers like you, many good things can happen. A moratorium can require San Francisco to back up a bit in its headlong, politically-motivated rush to destroy a useful and valued civic structure worthy of rejuvenation and respectful integration with proposed surrounding development. Our petition is not asking for anything unreasonable. Master Planners know that it is much easier and often wiser to modify existing plans before bulldozers create an irreversible and expensive mistake.
AMERICAN SOCCER POPULARITY GROWS: -< Some have claimed that soccer simply won’t work at the existing 69,000-seat Candlestick Park. However, the new stadium in distant Santa Clara just hosted an international soccer match that drew 67,175 fans – S.F. Chronicle, Sep 7, 2014, p. B9). There are over 100 soccer teams in the Bay Area.
PROMISE: -< Talented local Architects, Planners, and Engineers can open new doors of wonderful possibilities for our economy and culture. A Federal/State Moratorium can create some simple policy shifts that will help our Culture reorient to an exciting and imaginative Conservation Ethic instead of a habitual cycle of Destruction-Replacement touted by some as essential for a notion of “Progress” that presently rules the day among moneyed interests of the World.
35 YEARS OF WARNINGS: -< Today - thirty five years after the early warnings of Climate Change in the 1970’s - there is no longer any rationale for continuing environmentally-destructive habits like unnecessary destruction. This PETITION can help open minds to intelligent alternatives to unnecessary destruction. One by one, attitudes can change, and the President, Governor, and Mayor are now on respectful notice to act.

America only has one person
for every twenty other people
in the entire world.
…yet it has habitually consumed almost
one out of every three barrels of oil.
Too many of us delude ourselves that American culture has
no more accountability for climate change than anyone else.
…however, “one out of every three barrels of oil” equates to
four inches for every foot of the sea rise predicted to
impact billions of people as the world’s ice melts
on account of using fossil fuel like oil.
In either a court of law or a court of ethics,
America would appear to be
held accountable for the disparity.
Saving and extending the useful life of Candlestick for many decades instead of destroying it will demonstrate how to not only conserve “embodied energy” but also create green technology and green jobs for dealing with the dramatic changes that humanity is now facing – largely because our own culture over the past four decades has waited too long to assess the true cost of unnecessary destruction that is done in the name of “Progress” – such as Candlestick if we do not stop its demolition and seek a better way.
…
The world watches … and knows the Truth.
When America admits and acts on the Truth,
there will be new possibilities and opportunities
for creating Good Will and Green Progress.
…
Saving Candlestick Park can help show the way.
