Special Interest Groups are Destroying Hatteras Island – Commentary by Malcolm Peele

I found this article on Island Free Press today and had to share. Malcolm’s commentary on this soar subject really hits home and should be shared for all to see. The importance of Hatteras Island goes far beyond recreational use. Our history, heritage and way of life are at stake. Please share this article on Facebook (or other social media outlets) and visit Island Free Press for more information! And now the article:

There is something terribly wrong in our country today, and there is no place where it is more evident than Cape Hatteras.

The inhabitants of this tiny island that consists of seven villages are under siege by repressive government no less than the framers of the Constitution were — those who, out of desperation, fled from their homeland where generations of “their” families had lived.

We, the people of the United States, are supposed to be living under the rule of law created by our founding documents, guaranteeing our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Those fundamental rights are systematically being stripped away from us, and one would wonder if there is any solution.

BrentGrowing up as a kid in Virginia Beach, Brent has always been surrounded by water. Sailing, surfing, fishing and skateboarding were his passions and foundation that drew him near the ocean. He attended Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA and graduated with a Bachelor's in Communication Arts & Design. Having worked at several companies in Richmond as an Art Director, and living away from the ocean for about 10 years, he and his wife decided to make the move back East with their sights on the Outer Banks. With surfing being his favorite hobby, the Outer Banks was a perfect fit. In 2005, Brent headed back to a more familiar and welcoming beach community and now lives in Kill Devil Hills with his wife and 2 daughters. Brent has run a Graphic Design business (BN Design & Advertising) for over 12 years. Complimenting his Design business during the day, Brent is also an acoustic solo guitarist and plays gigs regularly on the Outer Banks and is also a board member of the Surfrider Foundation, Outer Banks Chapter.View all posts by Brent →
