I appreciate your continued involvement in this conversation, and the disclosure that CalGuns is working on a larger initiative. However, I still think that it is an opportunity lost for CalGuns and related to not at least give us the tools for my own volunteers to give out memberships to the various organizations, give them brochures on what actions they can do etc. Best, J

Thanks Larry,
I look forward to seeing you there. I have one woman who says she got over 40 people to personally commit to attending from Ben Shapiro's event at the Spanish Hills event in Camarillo today as well as getting Shapiro to commit to posting our event on his website, hopefully he follows thru. Quote:

Hope you guys have a huge turnout down there. Protests demonstrate how much people are really willing to do in an age of facebook and forums where there is a lot of discussion but not always a lot of action.
I get a great feeling when I see big protests like this. Because the number of people you peel away from keyboards and cel phone who are taking time away from their daily business demonstrates to everyone that there is also a large number in proportion to the number of people who show up to these things, who would be willing to not roll over if the unthinkable really did happen. Somewhere inside, these gun grabbers know that too; the politicians, media and the viewers regardless of how much they put on that they don't. Getting Americans to leave their homes and assemble in large numbers over anything is an accomplishment and a big statement as we become continually more socially dependent on the convenience of digital communication. There are other highly effective ways to help the cause too but it is simply untrue that a big old fashioned protest does not carry a lot of weight.

What we do have is a few really great speakers, and if they can't rally a crowd then the crowd doesn't have a pulse. Stuart Rhodes from Oath Keepers drew several thousand people to a recent speech in Albany. Peter Foy coming out in support of the second amendment is HUGE, even if it is only in Ventura County. We have other speaker's and guests not quite confirmed yet. The county a little more than a week ago voted 4-1 to support a County Wide version of the AWB. Peter Foy, who is also the Chairman of the Supervisors (and was elected by 73% of his constituents) was the lone dissenting voice and spoke strongly against the board's decision. We need to make this the would-be-tyrants Yee and Feinstein's Waterloo. We are starting to get support from various political groups, and politicians. If you know any public people or celebrities who you can convince to come great! But we need help, we need more activists, more volunteers, more shares on our facebook site. We need letters to bloggers, posts on reddit, other forums. We need people at the event to collect names, get people to join CalGuns, GOA, NRA, California Rifle and Pistol, and others. Commit to coming, bring your friends, wife, girlfriend, sister, kids. Make some signs.

Day of Resistance - Ventura County Stewart Rhodes, founder of Oath Keepers, a non-partisan association that is focused on encouraging people who've taken an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution to remind them of their solemn commitment, will be our keynote speaker. Rhodes is one of the most visibile defenders of the 2nd Amendment today and we are excited to have him speak for us here in Ventura! Stuart Rhodes, February 12, 2013, speaking in resistance to the recent legislation in Albany, NY: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI3aPSVT3do

Day of Resistance - Ventura County Wake up Ventura! By a 4-1 margin your county supervisors voted to support Feinstein's bill to ban most semi-automatic rifles and standard capacity magazines. Ventura County Supervisors Chairman Peter Foy was the lone dissenting vote in Ventura County in support of the continued exercise of your constitutionally guaranteed Second Amendment rights. Peter will be in attendance on the 23rd to show his continued support of the 2nd Amendment.

I have some materials ready that I can send you and some will follow next week. You can pass along that we're launching a massive campaign next week and need everyone ready to move. If you'd like to chat about some details, I'll PM you my phone number. -Brandon Quote:

I'm ALSO tentatively planning on going to IVE tomorrow night for the CSSA shoot if I can swing it... busy busy, I may just decide friday night is nap time. Brandon Combs (wildhawker) from the Firearms Policy Coalition, Calguns Foundation, Second Amendment Foundation, ... (I swear he is in every organization) will be providing me with materials for our event. If any CalGunners want to help with logistics we could probably use a few folding tables and a couple chairs. Please DO bring your signs, remember Your Second Amendment Right IS A CIVIL RIGHT. Volunteers can coordinate with me, though I am up past my eyeballs, if anyone wants to take some initiative and start self-organizing it would be HUGE.

Rand Paul
For what it's worth I received a message from Rand Paul's Chief of Staff last night who is a close friend of my daughters and he told me to look for a video from Rand for this. That he had just recorded it.
I sent him message asking where we can look for it. |

I'm bringing six people, with a handful more maybes. I've been working for an info sheet for my blog--is that something you guys could use? I could finish it up and bring a hundred or two copies.

I knew there was a press kit and such, so I didn't want to duplicate any efforts, given how little time there was. The info sheets I put together are just about the kinds of myths that people who don't have guns often get stuck with. I have a couple hundred. We may not need them, but I plan to keep them in my car just in case anyway. Never know when someone needs to be enlightened.
This is the basis for that flier. It's more about the scary stuff people think is happening that isn't. http://armedlamb.wordpress.com/common-myths-about-guns/ Bearflag and wildhawker, I really want to be involved and active. I'll make sure I PM both of you guys, but I hope I'll meet you in person tomorrow. I want to put my time into this, and I have some skills I hope can be useful. To either or both. I'm an aspiring activist. --al

Thanks for your kind words and support. I won't be able to be at the rally unfortunately but do look for CGF ops coordinator Howard Wilner and attorney Bobbie Ross who will be speaking for us. You can sign up to volunteer and get involved with FPC at www.helpgunrights.com.

Just got here. Plenty of free parking. Also there is parking that is metered that takes credit cards. But there is plenty of fee so I don't think you will need to use those
Good turnout so far. More gathering. I'm sure someone will post pics unless one of you tell me how to do it with my phone. There's a good crowd at the front of city hall and another gathering at the park. If you come to the park drive past a few hundred feet. Free city parking lot on the left. Last edited by pitbull30; 02-23-2013 at 10:33 AM.. Reason: Free big parking lot. |
