The extended deadline for comments on the Navy's alternatives regarding homebasing the F-35C Joint Strike Fighter at either NAF El Centro or NAS Lemoore is May 7, and our coalition is making one last push for comments.
If the Navy bases the Joint Strike Fighter at NAF El Centro, there would be hundreds of new high paying jobs in our region, an enhanced quality of life and assured long term survival of our base. We have also determined that the Navy could save billions of dollars over the life of the aircraft if it chooses NAF El Centro.
Below is a letter format we have prepared for your consideration. Please revise as you wish, and feel welcome to put it into your own words. It must be sent by May 7 to the address on the letter.
REMEMBER, IT MUST BE POSTMARKED BY MAY 7.
Feel free to forward this e-mail to your friends and family. And again, we really appreciate your support in this effort! For more information, please visit www.ivunited.com.
Sincerely,
Imperial Valley United
