I went to our local TEA Party meeting tonight because our county sheriff, Sheriff Paul Bailey, was speaking about his office's and his stance on the 2nd Amendment (by the way, he said if he is ordered to do anything about firearms that he believes violates the Constitution, he will refuse to enforce it).  There were about 70 people in attendance.

After the meeting I spoke to the group leadership, and mentioned Appleseeds, LibertySeeds and handed out some info (you do carry trifolds and targets with you always, right?).  Well, a long story short, I am now the keynote speaker for the April meeting doing a LibertySeed. 

Plus,  one of the leaders is part of the Potowatami Tribe just south of here (the Tribe runs the casino) and has been to an Appleseed.  They want someone to come in and do a history and rifle class for their school....bing, bing, bing!  Private Appleseed!

The local talk radio station was there (WSJM, 94.9 FM) and they have 2 new shows, one about veteran's affairs and one about firearms rights.  Both hosts were there and they want me to come in for interviews.  I also talked to them about coming out to a shoot and then doing a show about it.

And that took about 25 minutes...

Great Job! O0

I like to carry the challenge cards and am looking into getting my info put on them to use as business cards.

I find they are easier to cary than trifolds without getting dog eared.

Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

Steel, that is amazing! You are an asset to the nation and an inspiration to us all.
Can't we all just agree to disagree in a civil fashion while the planet's last, fading hope of liberty and prosperity gets snuffed out?

No. We can't.

The best way to carry Tri-Folds is in a Gallon zip bag. Keeps them together and keeps them from getting Dog eared
" The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. €�  - Alexander Hamilton
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."    -- Thomas Jefferson

" The Beauty of The Second Amendment is that it will not be needed until they try to take it"
Thomas Jefferson

Arms discourage and keep the invader and plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property... Horrid mischief would ensue were the law-abiding deprived of the use of them.

Great job Sir ^5

I nearly always carry trifolds and the bill of rights cards. It is my hope even if they never attend an AS ,
learning how marksman founded the  country may make an impact someday .


S.T. Getting on the radio has great potential, is there a way we can listen on I heart ?
Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
