I wish I could have been there! My husband was so pleased! I do wish more folks had shown up, myself included, but I just could not.....however it did succeed! It did wake up a lot of folks along the way!!!!!! Praise God! Your friend always, Sheila
I am so dang proud of all of them I am crying! I can do that I am a woman! hehehehehe
I am so proud of all of the intervenors that were able to show up and at a considerable cost to their own livelihoods! I carry such grief and remorse that I could not be one of such! I am having one heck of a time with coronary artery spasms, and as such could not attend! This serves as a great stess to my spirit and to what I hold so dear.....and that is the rights of this Great Nation for Freedom! Private Property is the fountain head of all of our freedoms!
What? I am a huge land owner? No!!!!!!!! I only own less than an acre of land, but the National Park Service and the WV Department of Highways is trying to take my land and what I have lived for all of my life, because " I pollute a view shed"!!! So help me God!
I am poor! I have no income other than my husbands salary, and it is a living from paycheck to paycheck....and that is once a week, and is so poor based on the national average!
I am a Registered Nurse, but find myself no longer able to work due to stress...yes, because I have been in this fight for over 3 years, and it has worn me down! I am only 42, and have recently gotten out of the hospital with specified heart attacks and told to avoid all stress!!! Well that is so much easier said than done! I suffer from Coronary Artery Spasms, and unfortunately, I am one of 4 out of 100,000! And nobody knows what causes these attacks for sure! I have one reason! Stress, and the stress of losing one's home and way of life will do this to anyone, especially for this prolonged period of time!
Therefore, we must all stand together and stop the madness that seems to be prevailing all across this great Nation!
I support your efforts and I praise you for what you did by posting this message to those that care! You go! Sincerely,
Sheila Davis
Sisters of the River (Hinton, WV)!
I own less than an acre of land, but it is mine, and my father died to provide it to me and my children to assure we had a home! That no one could take it from us! How little did he understand and unfortunatley trust the government he so supported! He was a democrat form Hell and rasied me to be the same....yet He raised me to fight for my country, my home and our liberties! He is rolling over in his grave at what these "Democrats" are doing to our Constitution!
It is simple, my daddy was a poor working man working for big companies, and finally for the "state"....he believed in unions.....I ended up hating them!!!! I as a Registered Nurse and was not allowed to do my simple job of taking care of people! Oh no, I had to take care of paper work, and had a bunch of lazy "people" that did not enjoy their work, but used the UNION against me....in other words, against the people they were working for....the lives they were supposed to be saving!
This issue drives me nuts alone! That is WHY there is a critical crisis with Nurses! They can't do their jobs because of politics and lazy people entering the profession just for the money and not for the people! They spend their time fighting "for their rights"! It is a disgrace on those that love and really care for others! I had to quit, because I could no longer see the profession I had spent over 20 years in go to such absolute hell!
Nurses make decent money....and they are more than worthy of that, IF they are doing their jobs!!!!!!!!! Not, if they are spending their 8 or 12 hour shifts "lobbying"!!!!!!!!!!!! They are not taking care of the patients they have been assigned to take care of!
Forgive me this outrage! Yet this is who I am along with being a private property owner who has worked all my life to have what I have, (and that is not much but mine and my girls) and no one has the right to take it simply because "I pollute the view-shed"!
We must stop this madness! It is occurring in every state a little at a time so as not to bring too much attention! I so humbly again thank you for this post and the opportunity to help others understand that if we don't grab back our rights and responsiblities, then we are going to lose our country!
I remain respectfully yours,
Sheila
Finally got some much needed rest last night, beautiful morning here the sub-tropics.
Mission accomplished! Sawgrass Rebellion One succeeded beyond our wildest dreams, despite every attempt by the evil doers to thwart us. Everyone from Paragon and the other groups that attended said they've never seen such a media convergence at any previous protest. ALL of the TV news outlets had their satellite towers up. The largest radio talk show in SW Florida broadcasted the entire show live, their competitor had a tent there as well. All of the local papers were scribbling away madly. In addition we had press from across the nation in attendance. I nearly had to beat the reporters off of me just so I could take care of business. Fox News national gave us a nice 2-minute piece.
We got the message out to millions .... that's a beautiful thing. We also raised a ton of money, networked and met some very heavy hitters and VIPs that will be instrumental in this crucial fight for the future of America.
I'll be quite busy tying up loose ends. When I get some time I'll post an after action report (it was a major FReep festival as well) with pics etc.
Thank you doesn't cut it. Understatements are not appropriate so I won't even go there. I'm not going to attempt to list those of you that should be very proud of yourselves, because if I left one single person off the understated "thank you list", I would consider myself beyond rude. Besides I would be typing all day.
There is one thank you I think we all need to send out. That's a big thank you to God. Let's thank Him for guiding us through all of the hardship and incredible opposition and somehow helping us make this a great success. He took care of us and foiled our detractors, just as we asked.
Remember:
THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING
Just a friendly reminder...to those in government.
Who view all the rest as their pawns.
