gratitude for support & sharing!
If you haven't already, would you consider literally a minute to support for a petition campaign "Stop US helipad plan in Takae, Okinawa," which has been started in 2008 but still continued. (If you have already signed before, thank you very much for your support! )
Okinawa Defense Bureau has been planning construction of 6 US Military helipads in Takae, Higashi Village, in northern part of Okinawa Island. Takae is about 1 hour from Henoko by car. The attached PDF file is about Takae.
This English petition appeals protest against helipad construction from the environmental point of view:

14 residents including children were filed for provisional disposition of "traffic obstruction" by Okinawa Defense Bureau (because they sit-in in front of the gates of miliary traning area). Residents gained support from lawyers and requested the court in Okinawa to reject the request from Okinawa Defense Bureau. 12 residents were freed but the court ordered 2 residents not to obstruct traffic and should not continue sit-in action. Residents of Takae and the lawyers' group are going to ask the court not to prosecute the two residents and to stop the construction.
