The Carson City store on Market Street and the store in Gardnerville on Grant Avenue, have allowed the Carson City Toys for Tots group to place donation boxes at their stores. The group says managers at the Topsy Lane location told them they were instructed by Walmart's corporate office not to allow the donation bins because Walmart as a corporation was only allowing donations to be made to the Children's Miracle Network.

Toys For Tots will be kicking off the 2015 campaign at the local Walmart stores in Carson City on Market Street and Douglas County on Grant Street in Gardnerville this Black Friday and Saturday (November 27th and 28th) for local children.

The freedom of individuals to take a job, quit a job, start a business, or close a business at will is an essential part of America. When Thomas Jefferson wrote that we have a God-given right to "the pursuit of happiness," this is a big part of what he meant. Unlike the European legacy of being chained to the family occupation, Americans are free to decide how and what work we do for a living, plus when and where.
