Also interesting is that the link provided in this story (halting a Home Depot) takes you to the No Home Depot Campaign website and not the Sunland-Tujunga NC website, and yet the story gives the impression that the STNC was responsible for stopping Home Depot.

History is being rewritten. It was not the Sunland-Tujunga NC that stopped Home Depot, in fact, it was a group called The No Home Depot Campaign. This group is made up of individuals that are not elected members of the STNC. The STNC is being given, or they are taking, way more credit than is due to them.
