One-Man Militia Cleaning Up National Mall For Vets With Park Service Furloughed
You probably haven’t heard of the Memorial Militia.
It’s likely the group’s only member hadn’t heard of it before nine days ago.
Now, armed with a chainsaw and lawnmower, Chris Cox is on a one-man mission to clean up the National Mall as the Park Service employees normally tasked with keeping the area tidy sit idle during the shutdown of the federal government.
Cox, who resides in South Carolina, says he isn’t motivated by political reasons but feels obligated to help as veterans prepare to descend on the nation’s capital for this weekend’s Million Vet March.(snip)

Beautiful symbolism: Regarless of our differences, we’re on this together. Us against the ruling class.
Doesn't matter. What he's done has created a social media firestorm. I'd venture to guess that more patriots will show with lawnmowers in short order.
Too bad for the unions. He got a nice chunk of the lawn mowed. ;-)
The federal government: “States: we’re not enforcing our federal immigration laws and we don’t want you doing it either.”
It’s Washington DC, Jake.
