TO HIS WORSHIP THE MAYOR OF AUCKLAND CITY.
HON. MR JOHN BANKS ( BANKSEE )
WE here at FLAGNZ headquarters would
like to express our congratulation to you for your success in securing a
position of great importance in this country.
We all
agree that Auckland is in much need of a person of your leadership skills to
bring about the changes that need to take Auckland City and our country forward
in this new century.
In much the same way the FLAGNZ team
feel we are fighting a similar battle in our quest to see our National flag
evolve, as all things must do if they are to remain relevant for the people of
the time.
We respect your well-known royalist
views as these can only add weight to the discussions that build around this
topic of national interest. We here at FLAGNZ headquarters were greatly pleased
when in the middle of 2000, the time of my presentation of the FLAGNZ design to
the PM Helen Clark, You acknowledge that you thought that “a new national flag
was inevitable” and that it would likely happen “within the next ten years”.
This type of opinion is very prevalent out in the communities, and you would
I’m sure hear this if you were to ask your Auckland constituency.
The FLAGNZ team sees the Auckland
populace as being strategically important. This is not only because of the
populations’ size but also because of its cultural diversity and it’s dominance
as the commercial and business heart of New Zealand. These are the types of
people that are shaping the future of our country not only financially but
through their strong wantonness to be fairly treated and represented by the
country we call “GODZONE”. We here at FLAGNZ see you as their leading light.
We would there fore like to ask you as
the leading light in Auckland whether you would instigate the first steps that
would path the way for FLAGNZ to be flown from
the highly visible structure that is the Harbour Bridge. To see FLAGNZ, the flag for a New
Zealanders, flying high above one of Auckland’s greatest landmark would be a
giant step long the path that will see FLAGNZ become a Kiwi Icon and patriotic
symbol for furture New Zealander to Rally behind. And You Mr. Banks can be the
one that can take FLAGNZ to that next level.
Once again we wish you all the best for
your following years as Auckland’s Mayor, and we will optimistically await your
reply.
With
Regards,
Jason Paul
Troup.
Chief
Designer.
PS. We hope
that the FLAGNZ bumper sticker that we have included in this letter can find it’s
way on to the rear of the mayoral car.
