Default Statuary Sanctuary City

https://davidharrisjr.com/steven/ohi...ing-torn-down/

Newton Falls, a small town in northeast Ohio has declared itself a sanctuary city that even President Trump would agree with.

But it’s not a sanctuary for illegal aliens, they have declared themselves a sanctuary city for statues and monuments and they are willing to accept certain statues that are at risk of being torn down.

City manager David Lynch proclaimed Saturday that the town will be a “Statuary Sanctuary City” that will be willing to accept statues and monuments of the following:

George Washington
Abraham Lincoln
Thomas Jefferson
Ulysses S. Grant
Patrick Henry
Francis Scott Key
Theodore Roosevelt
Christopher Columbus

The proclamation states:

“The great leaders of our country and Western civilization, though flawed in many ways, have risen to great achievement such as the founding of our nation, the ending of slavery, establishment, and protection of our national parks, the establishment of antitrust laws to protect our citizens from overaggressive monopolization of industry, and the discovery of the new world itself.”

“These great leaders as represented in beautiful and artistic statuary throughout our nation deserve to stand in a place of honor and respect as a reminder that we, as Americans, can achieve great things.”
