Hey friends of CT Appleseed --

In case you haven't heard, our very own Fred (the telegenic) scored a major coup today with CT NBC News. He was contacted by Jason Hawkins, a reporter that does lifestyle reporting, for an interview about Appleseed for a "Things to do this weekend" story. Fred and CaptMac quickly sprang into action and hosted a mini-Seed for the reporter and a photographer today at Bozrah R&G, and the report is that it went swimmingly! Check out the IAAR: http://appleseedinfo.org/smf/index.php?topic=27437.0

The segment will air on WVIT near the end of the 11:00AM and 5:00PM newscasts on Friday, then again on Saturday during the morning news, which appears to air at 6:00AM and 9:00AM. It'll also be posted on the station's web site, probably in the This Weekend section. Look for a 3-5 minute segment with Fred's smiling face!

Spread the news far and wide - we want as many eyeballs on this as possible. I'll be posting this on my personal Facebook page in a minute, as well as on the CT Appleseed page. Be sure to tell your friends and family, especially those fence-sitters that have never been to an Appleseed before. If Fred can't drag them in, nobody can!

It's on the air, it's on the web, and it's better than we dared hope for!

If you want to see how a former tugboat captain calls the line, give it a whirl.

And HUGE thanks to Vernic82 and CaptMac for stepping up to make this happen! We've already had three new registrations for Lebanon this weekend. Way to go, boys!!

Great Job! Way to get those promotions rolling out!
If ye love wealth better than liberty,the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom,go home from us.We ask not your counsels or arms.Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

For some reason it quit on me.  But it sure looked like a friendly report.  Great job guys ^:)^
"These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives everything its value."   T Paine

Way to go guys! :)

~ Two Wolves
A moral compass provides a basis for making decisions; an action is good or bad, right or wrong when viewed in the light of the individual's moral bearing. If no moral compass exists for the individual, then decisions and actions are made on the basis of purely subjective thoughts. This leads to "If it makes me happy, or makes me feel good, or if it's something I simply want to do, then it is right and good."

Outstanding job; will have to have ADOM figure out a way of  stealing - uh, otherwise acquiring the video for gunshow table use...
    That said, per comments above, video does stop at "given a test to shoot 40 targets in 4 minutes..."  Reporter at least must have finished his sentence, or completed talking about AQT and The Patch?

For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)

Than live as Slaves to You"

The doorway to freedom is framed by the muskets that stood between a vision of of liberty and absolute anarchy at a place called Concord Bridge--Charlton Heston, 1997

"Be a man of principle. Fight for what you believe in. Keep your word. Live with integrity. Be brave. Believe in something bigger than yourself. Serve your country. Teach. Mentor. Give something back to society. Lead from the front. Conquer your fears. Be a good friend. Be humble and be self-confident. Appreciate your friends and family. Be a leader and not a follower. Be valorous on the field of battle. And take responsibility for your actions. Never forget those that were killed. And never let rest those that killed them." -- Major Douglas Zembiec
