Attached is the response I got from the invitation I sent to my congressman for the St. Augustine shoot. Nice letter, too bad he is not coming. I haven't heard back from State Sen. Wise or State Rep. McBurney yet. I sent them each an 8.5x11 envelope containing a flyer/reg. form and a brief letter on stationary about the program and inviting them.

    Well, he called the Appleseed Mission "essential" - guess that's an endorsement by a Congress rep...sorta... O0

For immediate release.......... US Representative Ander Crenshaw says "... the Appleseed Project's mission... is essential"

Hey, it is better than the complete form letters I get back.

Casey,

Might be worth a followup to his in state staff, ask for his lead on 2 AM issues and make the offer.  In some cases, getting the staffer on board is more productive that the REP/SEN.

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."
---Robert Anson Heinlein

Good job Casey.
Now like hawkhaven said, get a staffer from the local office to "come on down", the price is right. Give them some Appleseed quality time. Hand them your well prepped LTR, set up for easy shooting and reliability, Put them on the range. Show them that people are involved and that we believe in making this thing work and work well.
Show them common people. learning and enjoying and getting full of the good stuff, liberty. Teach them about rifle marksmanship and American Heritage and send them back to work seeing that we common Americans have Hope.
