Shelby Action News an alternative for the community

I found this website about 6 years ago and have been a regular visitor since. I learned a lot and was encouraged by what these people built from the ground up. Long before the TEA Party was born, these Manassas Park, VA. citizens decided they’d had enough and held a meeting to see what they could do. What began as a few people on a blog, became a force for good. I don’t want to spoil any of the story, so I’ll post a short excerpt to begin, and then a link to the article. Remember, these people were meeting with what is known here at home as our County Commissioners.

Those of you who have visited this site and are visiting this site from the USHouse,gov, a hearty welcome.

Surely, no president would ever suggest, help create, and sign laws that would inhibit our freedoms. Some freedoms that were automatically granted by our Creator at birth, and not by the government.

New York City has decided to ban food donations to the homeless. Why? Mayor Michael Bloomberg is upset that the authorities, whomever the Food Police happens to be, cannot access the salt, fat, and fiber content. And in return, the citizens of New York City that they cannot access Bloomberg’s mental evaluation or MENSA score. Why is it that people in governmental positions think all of a sudden, they should be making decisions for us? Other than the fact that we’re not nearly as smart as they are?

On a cool Tuesday night in March 2008, a group of people met at the library in a Townhall type meeting to air their views regarding the old courthouse and the upcoming deal with Destination Cleveland County.

Once again, we are a little less than a year away from the election, but we allow the media to choose our candidate for us. Yet, we wonder why we are in such sad shape. Why? Because we’re gullible, lazy, and just down right too agreeable. No, we shouldn’t be rocking the opposition’s boat. We should actually be sinking it. Once again, the choices left for the GOP presidential race, does not have the fire power to hold off Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. We have everything from slick to schtick, but no one left to lead this country. And we seem to be fine with it.

This is not a joke. Obama says there will be a 15¢ tax on all fresh Christmas trees, that will go to support the marketing of Christmas trees and to improve the image.
