  • Parked! How Congress' Misplaced Priorities Are Trashing Our National
    Dear Taxpayer, Visitors to national parks have been threatened with trespassing charges, obstructed from paying their respects at a memorial to those who lost their lives in service to our country, and turned away from other National Park Service sites closed due to a lack of funding. All of this began occurring before the government shutdown in October. Perhaps more than any other part of the federal government, our National Park System has become the symbol of Washington, DC dysfunction. These cherished national treasures, which were entrusted to the National Park Service to be preserved and protected, have instead been neglected or abused for political gamesmanship. Long before the government shutdown and sequestration, congressional shortsightedness and bureaucratic mismanagement were already plaguing our national parks. Barricaded parks across the country exposed the calamity in Washington in 2013, but the National Park System has long been a microcosm of the irresponsible and misplaced priorities within the entire federal budget. Just as important programs like Medicare and Social Security have been raided for decades to pay for politicians’ pet projects, Washington has also plundered the National Park Service budget to create new parks and programs with little national significance. And as the lack of budget discipline has driven up the national debt and jeopardized the solvency of retirement programs and our nation’s future, the misplaced priorities within the parks budget are endangering the care of the very sites we all revere. Our elected representatives have been too focused on their own parochial political interests to see the state of disrepair that has befallen some of our greatest national treasures.

Bare witness to history as the world-famous Fishers battle hurricanes, sharks, new technology, pirates, and other adventures as they seek lost artifacts worth hundreds of millions of dollars and rediscover their family’s identity in the process. !2 SUMMARY Ever since Mel Fisher began looking for the 1622 fleet off the coast of Florida, his life changed. It took him 13 years before he struck gold—but boy was it worth it. Mel and his grown children would go on to discover one half of the Nuestra Señora de Atocha unearthing $400 million dollars in gold, silver, jewels, and other rare artifacts. Kim Fisher, now the patriarch of the family business, continues the search for the second half of the ship that was blown apart by a hurricane off the Florida coast. The remaining wreck has $300 million worth of riches buried inside including untold items that were brought onboard by the Catholic Church as well as 38 members of the Spanish aristocracy that bypassed the ship’s manifest. Watch the Fisher Family and their team of world-renown archeologists race the clock to find the remaining ship mapping out untold stories of fortune and lost dreams. !3 STRUCTURE A PLOT: Each episode will feature the next B PLOT: Each episode will feature a secondary dig, C PLOT: The Fishers own two museums—one in generation of Fishers working along side Kim, Gary, discovery, mission, or folktale.
