In this story and video below, Glenn Beck tells us about an entire town in Illinois who gathered together to turn away the 'assistance' of FEMA. Though Glenn doesn't quite say that the town met the FEMA trucks with guns in their hands, he alludes to that in this video. This is America coming together and saying NO to big government. This is what made America great in the first place, helping one another, neighbor to neighbor, rather than depending upon a government that continually fails to deliver in most every avenue.
Glenn Beck told his radio audience Thursday that when he started his charity, Mercury One, the goal was to recreate the American spirit that existed in the 1920s.
In that era, he said, there was a devastating flood and the federal government attempted to offer assistance — only to be turned away by the people.
“When the trucks came, the people actually met those trucks in the streets with guns and said, ‘Turn your federal trucks around. We don’t need you here, we don’t want you here. We are a community that takes care of ourselves,’” Beck said. “And they actually turned the trucks around and sent them back home to Washington.”
In the wake of the devastating tornadoes that rocked the Midwest over the weekend, Beck reported that thanks to the efforts and contributions of the American people, a group of individuals in Illinois has recaptured that American spirit and turned away the FEMA trucks.
