Giving Thanks



This season, I am thankful to know people who are willing to fight.

That might seem strange to some, but to others, it will make perfect sense.

Over the past several years, I have come to know many people who are involved in struggles that other people rarely think about. Mainly, because they are the kind of struggles that don't impact you until you are in the middle of one.

Across our state, and across our country, there are so many people involved in struggles with their local government, or with quasi-governmental agencies. In the majority of these cases, at the heart of the issue is property.

Agencies like the Department of Environmental Quality, the Department of Natural Resources; or local Zoning and Planning Boards; often feel that their jurisdiction involves your private property, and they often try to dictate what you build, what you grow, how you live.... 

Fortunately, there are some people who are waking up and who are willing to stand with others while they are in the midst of these battles. 

These are the people we want to connect with. We want those of you who are willing to stand and fight for the rights of friends, neighbors, or anyone else involved in battles with rogue agencies, to like our page, and follow this blog.

In the coming months, we plan to bring you stories of people involved in these battles; and give you opportunities to answer calls to action to help them out.

But first, we need you to share our blog, and share this page. We want these stories to reach as many people as we can.

Together, we are stronger.

God bless you this Thanksgiving.

If you have a story to share about a struggle with your local government, or an alphabet soup-type agency (think DEQ, DNR, EPA, USDA, etc., etc., etc.), we want to get the word out. We want to help you share your story, and maybe find support. Email us at violationsofthepublictrust@gmail.com; or message us on Facebook.
