There's a few people that I've chased down at events, in parking lots and at grocery stores to get them to be part of Project Appleseed.  I'm proud to say those people have stepped up beyond my wildest expectations and are people that I would gladly follow into...well whatever.  I'm proud to work along side of them, to have them work with me, and for me to work for them at events.  And more importantly, I'm proud that I get to know them and, hopefully, be amongst those people they would call their friends.

Captain America is one of those people.

For the last 2 (maybe 3??) I've acted...poorly...as the interim State Coordinator for Indiana.  In that time, we've grown...grown the cadre in the state.  Added ranges.  Started rebuilding the team and a vibrant Appleseed culture where people WANT to help us grow.  But there is SO.  MUCH. MORE.  to do.  So much more...

I'm absolutely tickled to announce that Captain America (aka Chris Evans) has agreed to take the helm for the state.  Anyone that has been SC realizes that SC only means you are amplifying the accomplishments of the people that actually do the work.  But with Chris' care and guidance, I know this can be only the beginning of the rebirth of the great state of Indiana.  In addition to being 107% dedicated to the mission of Appleseed, Chris is joined in the Appleseed family by his Red Hat daughter Pepper Spray and his Appleseed supportive family in NW Indiana. 

Please welcome Captain America as the new State Coordinator in Indiana!

CONGRATS!
ACCEPT YOUR WOBBLE!

It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again."  Ronald Reagan

Congratulations Cap! And THANKS for stepping up?

tk
The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed -- where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once.

-- Justice Alex Kozinski, US 9th Circuit Court, 2003

Excellent choice, Steel.  Congratulations Capt. A, Indiana will be awesome with you at the controls.
