Thank you again for your interest and willingness to become involved. If you would like to be kept informed as to our progress please make that request to our email: saveourdepot@gmail.com If you know of others who support this endeavor please let them know the petition is available at http://savethedepot.blogspot.com/
Our goal is to obtain 500 signatures in just a matter of a very few days. Any and all efforts towards promoting our cause will be most appreciated.
Dear Kendrick City Council,
We the undersigned do hereby respectfully request you to preserve and restore the Kendrick Depot located in your city.
Please find enclosed/attached our petition with signatures and comments with reference to and support for preserving the Kendrick Depot.
It is an old repeated adage that we often don't appreciate what we have until it's gone. Kendrick's legacy and that of yourselves will be ill-famed should you be successful in accomplishing your goal of destroying the Kendrick Depot.
Fairness, equity and democracy demand that you at least consider and contemplate the voice of we the majority and there can be no question to any reasonable mind that all those that desire to destroy this depot are in a very small minority. For every one silent, passive supporter you claim we can easily produce ten-twenty that will give a voice, a signature and/or a face to their opinion. In matters such as these, those who don't want to stand up and be counted - shouldn't. [This is why our wise legislators mandated that issues such as this be voted upon by WE THE PEOPLE.]
Although you have been confronted with the reason, logic and commonsense of preserving the Kendrick Depot, you have decided for nefarious reasons to do the opposite. If we were to agree with your stated logic then we would not have many of the national historical landmarks that exists now all over this great country of ours.
You are selling the City of Kendrick's birthright for $50.00 and you should be ashamed. The Depot has survived flood and fire only to be possibly soon destroyed by your short terms in office.
If you are successful in destroying this historic treasure, the spot will forever remain as a monument to your administration's lack of vision, values, and voter support.
We still have faith in the goodness of humanity and hope that you will reconsider your position and best serve the interests of the majority of Kendrick citizens who you were appointed and elected respectfully to represent.
The petition website as well as the "Save the Depot" blog will forever remain in cyberspace and when someone goes to search for "Kendrick, Idaho" or "Kendrick Depot" - they will read about our efforts here to convince you to do what is right and in the best interest of ALL.
"Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set." - Proverbs 22:28
"Monuments immortalize our heroes, celebrate our accomplishments, and mourn our losses. Whether in a public park, private cemetery, or city square, these sculptures of stone and steel reflect the moral, cultural, and social makeup of their surroundings. Just as the Column of Trajan still stands in Rome and as the fall of the Soviet Union brought about the razing of hundreds of statues, some monuments stand as permanent testimony to the accomplishments of a nation or an individual while others topple at the swing of the pendulum that is public opinion." - Donald M. Reynolds, Author of "REMOVE NOT THE ANCIENT LANDMARK"
We sincerely hope that you will reconsider and SAVE THE DEPOT!

Dear Friends, Railfans and Historians,
We have reached our goal of five hundred signatures in just 25 days! Thank you each and everyone for taking the time to participate in this worthy cause.
Our battle is far from over as the Kendrick City Council has decided to go against the will of "WE THE PEOPLE" and destroy this historic treasure even though the vast majority of people voicing an opinion desire to preserve it. As you may know, the building was sold for a mere $50.00 and the new owner is under contract to tear down the depot within 90 days from March 9th.
There is still time to prevent the destruction of this historic building but we must act NOW!
The Kendrick City Council now needs to hear from "WE THE PEOPLE"
I was reminded recently about a conversation I had with the Mayor of Kendrick and that he had stated to me that no one had called or contacted him who supported the preservation of this historic depot.
Please contact the Kendrick City Council Office and let them know that you support the preservation of this historic railroad landmark - by email at: cityofkendrick@tds.net or by phone at: (208)289-5157.
You can also reach the mayor and city council members at the following numbers:
Mayor Dale Lisher: (208) 289-8346
Councilmember Mike Morgan: (208) 289-4531
Councilmember Donna Corkill: (208) 289-5931
Councilmember Jeremy Alexander: (208) 289-4398

"Few will have the greatness to bend history; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation ... It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is thus shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."~ Robert F. Kennedy

Hundreds of thousands are fighting the war against Cancer, Heart Disease and other degenerative diseases. These diseases have already been prevented and stopped by those of us that took the time to educate ourselves. We have developed the Advanced Scientific Health Research Association in hopes that millions of families will now have access to this vital information. Our mission is to prevent and stop needless pain and suffering for millions of families. We are a group of "survivors" that are thankful that someone took the time to share this information with us. We are here to "Pay It Forward".
The information at Advanced Scientific Health (ASH) comes direct from scientists through their Nobel Prize winning research and discoveries made in Orthomolecular Science. The scientific facts are indisputable. These scientists, by looking at disease at the molecular level, have discovered that ALL disease can be prevented and stopped when correctly understood.
