ACT! for America group banned from holding meetings at Arlington library
El Cid: historical crusader for Western interests. Which may or may not have anything to do with this post.
The Grand Prairie chapter of the group ACT! for America has been banned from holding its regular meetings at the Arlington Public Library because library administrators determined that the group was failing to abide by two key provisions for use of the meeting space:
1) They were limiting public access to the meetings (by apparently screening for national origin), and
2) They were soliciting funds during meetings at the library, along with selling books and tapes.
The group now meets at a private facility and recently attracted about 70 attendees.

I made a big mistake - I clicked over to the ACT website (no, didn't allow cookies), because I had no clue as to who they were.
Complete nutters are trying to take over this country aren't they? To say nothing of continuing the whole <b>FEAR - FEAR - FEAR</b> dogma ... and making money from it of course.

These people are nut job and an embarrassment to all Americans. Pretty much these guys are nothing but the modern day version of the John Birch Society.
