Three Strikes in Three Minutes

These may be the shortest official three strikes presentations I will ever do.....yesterday and today, I used the three strikes as the basis of my testimony before a couple of House committees involving over a dozen state reps and at least 75 observers.

It was actually a great exercise in thinking through the history and distilling the core parts and application. Really made me think about the heart of what I was trying to communicate. It also made me even more grateful for those who bled and died, those who pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, not just to give me the second amendment, but to set up a form of government where I CAN waltz into the State Capitol and testify before lawmakers like that.

I was thankful to have a very kind and receptive audience!  :)

I have removed my email from my profile to stop the mod reports. If you need a Libertyseed scheduled you will now have to contact me on the Libertyseed forum.

Awesome! I'm putting you in a raffle for the Libertyseed contest for that one! You should post that on the Libertyseed IAAR. Really good work!

Nice job Bullet!

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.
Calvin Coolidge

I too would love to read a transcript of your testimony or your 3-in-3 strikes. Very cool. :pop:
1. Point the sights where they need to be pointed
2. Keep 'em there while you squeeze the trigger.
3. Repeat

Choose wisely and do your best at whatever you find yourself doing. (Whippet, 1997)

Thanks! Should you put the three minute strikes onto the forum, I can see where they would come in handy at the grocery store, bank, gas station etc... , unlimited possibilities.  :bow:  :bow:  :bow:

Thanks, everybody! I'll be happy to write it out and post it when I get a moment.

Absolutely positively stupendous. It's an honor to know people like you Bullet.

Thank you scuzzy! I gotta say, I learned from the best. I hope you tell some of the strikes tomorrow because I absolutely love hearing your presentations.

To everyone who asked about it.... I just wrote a blog post that's basically the testimony I gave yesterday for 1 of the 5 bills I spoke on. The post includes one of the "3 strikes in 3 minutes" presentations and can be found here: http://www.texasfirearmsfreedom.com/why-does-texas-need-a-firearms-protection-bill/

Thank you Sister Bullet,

That is a powerful presentation; Simple, Precise, Straight on the mark, Straight on Mission, straight on message.
It pretty much looks like the whole of the Appleseed message in three minutes.

Here's to a woman whom truly "Knows what she is about".  O0  :bow:  O0

Kudos!  I got chills reading your testimony.  That was every bit as effective as the "longer" versions we tell. 

I'm also a native Texan, although only 6 generations - you did Texas proud.  I'm looking to leave Illinois soon, so maybe I'll come back to Texas (especially if this bill becomes law).
