I just wanted to expand on that with words of advice from Gerald Celente a few years ago:
Buy local (mom and pop stores); bank local.
Words of yesteryear from Mark Levin:
Get personally involved locally. School boards, local politics, Churches. Make your voice heard.
Words from God: Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Thanks for posting that-people in rural areas like this own the businesses and are involved in everything in the community, if not the county-it is just good business-but so many who live in cities lose sight of things like that.
