Local government & citizens preparing to confront Feds in Tennessee
 Folks who live in the Great Smoky Mountains have just about reached their breaking point with the federal government."It's almost like they are pushing to see how far they can push before the American people say enough is enough," said Ed Mitchell, the mayor of Blount County, Tenn. "We were founded on a declaration of independence. And they are about to push the people to the line again." It's gotten to the point where Mayor Mitchell said Americans are ready to start fighting back. The mayor said he wanted to "make [federal officials and congressional reps] aware that we were willing to do what they were not. We were willing to serve the people that they were not willing to serve." I asked the mayor if he felt like local residents were getting ready to fight back. He agreed. "I hate that it's come to this," he said. "This whole thing is all about power and leverage." Never push honest men past the breaking point, because once started in a fight, they will not stop until they get complete submission of those who provoked them. Posted by: OldSpook 2013-10-09 |
