Here is the article that ran in today's paper. Not bad the picture is kind of so so but we are teaching we just had not yet gotten to the kid in the background. He ended up having a very nice looking crossed legged position.

Anyway here is the Article

"A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."
--George Washington

Turned out very well IMO.  Straight forward, well quoted.  Good job Mudcat!

QuoteGreg Harris, state coordinator for the organization in Kentucky, said an appreciation of the founding of the United States could benefit the nation right now.

"We believe that laziness, apathy and ignorance are really harming our country, and we want to counteract that through education about the founding of the country," he said.

And good press is even better!  That was a short but sweet article which was on point and promoting.  Great deal!

Does "State" or "National" have to make press releases? I suppose if I wanted to write something I could post it here first for scrutiny and send it in as a "Letter to the Editor" to the local papers.

Great article!   :D

POC, we do send out news releases across the state before and after each shoot.  I just checked the list, and the Courier and Press is receiving those emails.  Now, that certainly doesn't mean you can't do something like a letter to the editor, too, but yes, you should probably have it okay'd first through yellowhousejake.   ;)
