Mount Vernon is the former plantation of George Washington and is owned by the Mount Vernon Ladies’ Association, which doesn’t receive any government funding. The attraction’s official website reads, “NO SHUTDOWN HERE – The Federal government may be shut down, but Washington’s home remains open. Mount Vernon has remained a private non-profit for more than 150 years.”
However, a dispute began when the National Park Service began putting up barricades to block off the facility’s car park, blockading the entrance as well as a spot where tour buses turn around.

Obama started this by granting waivers, i.e. changing the law without representation. So I applaud our representatives who are looking out for the individuals and businesses they have been elected to represent. One of the big catalysts for our founding fathers was "taxation without representation". Now we have a "law" that the president feels he can change by offering waivers to suit his supporters. But he does it without representation of the people. On top of that, he insists on dividing this country by complaining about how these "terrorists" won't 'toe the line'. How can you possibly be an American citizen and deny these representatives of the PEOPLE their RIGHTS and their OBLIGATION to their constituents.
And they shut down a "colonial farm" in Va. that is privately funded for the past 32 years. NO federal funds. It just happens to sit on federal land.
I've said this before and I'll say it again, the government IS NOT your friend.
The police ARE NOT your friend.
They are your ENEMY.
If recent events do not prove this to you, get out of the way while we take the power away from them.
The arrogance of the government is shocking--every American should be outraged by this and the other actions taken by the tyrant in chief. Time to take back our country.
NPS needs a new uniform patch with a swastika on it.
Disgusting.
The WW2 Memorial in Normandy France is closed. People have traveled a great distance and at great expense to visit this.
On the other hand the golf course at Andrews Air Force Base remains open.
Of course the golf coursse is open, that's the only thing the president knows how to do when he isn't busy destroying the country.
