Do you read the entire newspaper, watch all the TV news, and listen to talk radio every day?    For most of us, the answer is no, our lives are too busy. 

Therefore, whenever possible, we are providing for you the news reports that relate to the Bristol Land Grab so that you can stay informed on this un-American  activity.  We have included our comments on the news so that you can have our take, "straight from the horse's mouth."   Links to all news sites are included on our links page.

There are so many news reports on the land grab, that we could not place them all on a single page as it would take too long for the page load.  So the stories are divided onto 4 separate pages. 

You can start with News Page #1 and go straight through News Page #4 and read all the stories in order.  Or you can click any individual story links in the Master Table of Contents to "jump" to any particular article.
