The Sabal Trail plans to come through Brooks County. See page 12.

Call the pipeline company’s bluff, says one landowner, and
and at worst you’ll get a much better offer.
At best, if enough people do it, the pipeline will become

and the Spartans at Thermopylae, we can stop an invasion,
this time by peaceful means.
Come and Take It!
