"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

"The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." -Thomas Jefferson

"Our forefathers gave us a better way to refresh the Tree of Liberty. If we give our blood and sweat now,  willingly, by using the political and social processes they secured for us with their lives, maybe our own Posterity will never have to unwillingly spill their blood and tears to re-secure their Liberty.

Everyone...

This is 1 and half day gun show, not 2 and a half days.  So, its a little more intense than the typical show and we need to have a presence there.  Not just old crabby colycat chasing people away from Appleseed.

Its the perfect storm,  just before the 4/19 weekend, just before the recall elections,  just before Wisconsin looses conservative control of the senate and we go back to the bad old days of less liberty.  BTW, That last point is not a given if we double down on reaching folks through full lines at our seeds.

Or all you all to busy with going to empty shoots?  (6 instructors for 12 students @ Racine) :wb:

If everyone jumps in for a few hrs during the weekend,  we can move the ball into our court. :~

Today is the day.  Show starts at 3:00 PM and runs until 8:00 PM.  I expect it to be busy, as most people have this afternoon off.

Post here if you can help out for a few hrs.

It was busy, peps were lined up all the way into the parking lot.  What a great op to fill the lines.  And a lot of fun too, if you can be a little aggressive.

Rocco said we are good to go with his shows, FREE from now on.  While Bob was sleeping, Rocco went on line and checked us out.  Said we are a pretty good group, for humans. ;D

For those of you who don't know about the Bob and Rocco shows,  Bob is human and Rocco is a black lab.  "From Bob and Rocco, hey take your kids hunting"
