Dear Friend,
We Crashed the System!
Congratulations folks! We did it! We had so much traffic and interest in the Second Amendment March that we crashed the server. That's the good news. The bad news is that we were down for almost a day. However, we are back up again and running strong!
Master WebQueen, Terri, has assured me that changes have been made and we should be okay from here on out. But the way this thing is growing ... who knows!
We have lots of good news, but first, let's clear up a misconception. We are getting questions from supporters asking us about guns at the march. I cannot make this more clear.
NO GUNS ALLOWED IN DC!
A few people don't like that idea, but that's the way it has to be. It's not me, folks, it's the law, and we will not break the law in any way, shape, or form; that's not who we are. We are here to change the law, not to become criminals. This march will be peaceful and law-abiding. End of story.
Now, a note on fringe groups. We've been contacted by a few groups and individuals who are, how shall I say it ... possibly off the reservation? Some of these people advocate the immediate, violent overthrow of the government, and the last thing we want is to have them hijack our march and use it for their own agenda. My vision of this march is family-friendly. I plan on bringing my wife and kids and I hope others will do the same.
In short, the political system is in place for us to save the Second Amendment through peaceful means. We have an election in 2010; that's why we chose spring of that year. We must work long and hard to elect pro-Second Amendment lawmakers. Cooler heads must prevail.
What's Coming Up
Now on to the good stuff!
Contributions are pouring in and for that I thank you. We have many bills to pay so keep the cash flowing. Unfortunately, we lost a lot of potential donations when the site crashed. The timing couldn't have been worse since I had just emailed out a plea for donations. So if you are waiting to donate, then wait no longer. Log on to
www.secondamendmentmarch .com and give today!
We are presently creating a volunteer database where we can collect and catalogue all who offer to help us. Soon, a button will appear on the website where you can click and be registered to help us out across the country. We have special need for state and local coordinators of the satellite marches, so if you can't go to DC, here is an opportunity for you to help out. (We even have a soldier in Iraq who has contacted us about a satellite event in that country.)
To compliment this, publicity packets are being designed and printed as we speak. Soon you will be able to click on a button and have these packages mailed directly to your home or place of business. People are asking for flyers, tri-folds, brochures, bumper stickers and posters. Soon they will be available.
Within a few days, a button will appear on the home page where groups and individuals can register their official support for the march. Groups will be able to signal their official endorsement through the magic of the internet. We hope that all of you click on the link and register. Now is the time to stand up and be counted!
There will also be opportunity for businesses to advertise their wares on the site while demonstrating their public support for the march. There are opportunities galore and we are coming up with more all the time.
I'll keep you posted as things happen. But just let me tell you that much is going on behind the scenes and I'll be announcing more as details are firmed up.
I'll leave you for now with this thought: If we are to save America; if we are to pull the greatest nation on earth back from the brink of tyranny, then everyday Americans like you and I have to come forward and make our voices heard. The words of Edmond Burke sum it all up:
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
Stand up! Do something!
