Hello Everyone,

The details on this celebration are below.  It could be a great place to find supporters of liberty, as well as to take part in a great celebration.  I'm not able to attend unfortunately.   If someone does, it would be great if you could arrive early and place Appleseed fliers on the chairs and tables.  I've copied information from the facebook page about it.  You must rsvp at http://billofrightsday.us/

Jet Set,

  Thanks for the heads-up, we are in fact having our BoR shoot in Sierra Vista on 18-19 DEC 2010 down south.
Gun control is mind control.

" Of every One-Hundred men, Ten shouldn't even be there,
Eighty are nothing but targets,
Nine are real fighters...
We are lucky to have them...They make the battle,
Ah, but the One, One of them is a Warrior...
and He will bring the others back."

- Heraclitus (circa 500 BC)

A similar do is on tap for Tucson - same night - here's the cut-n-paste:

-------
In Tucson, AzCDL is hosting an event at Delectable's Restaurant, 533 N. 4th Avenue, Tucson, starting at 7 PM. 
The cost is $15 (plus tax) and includes a light meal of beef stew, corn bread, apple cobbler and hot cider. 
Again, seating is limited and reservations are required.  Call (520) 884-9289 to make your reservations.
At Delectable's the open carrying of firearms is welcomed (no alcohol will be served).

We will read The Bill of Rights out loud from parchment, And then discuss its health, town-hall style.
Is it working? Are our rights intact?  What are the threats to it?  What are its prospects for the future?
Talk is cheap because the supply exceeds the demand.

Do or do not - there is no "try."'  -Yoda
