Okay guys, since the first week of FOUP I have recived less than 10 forms... I don't know what is going is on, but a WHOLE BUNCH of people who promised their support at the onset of this project have not stepped up to the plate.
On the good side, most of the people here at TFL who said they'd put in, are in.
On the Bad side, most of the people who have put in are from TFL.
I've have collected a few forms from locals and I am expecting more from some of my travels to come roling in. Also, I'll be addressing a large group of shooters from around the country next week.
As you may recall, it was my hope to have 25-35% of the total number of supporters needed by the end of April.. This would allow me to go to the NRA show with a STRONG showing of support and be able to convince certain players in the industry that this was going to happen with them or without them.. such a situation would almost guarantee their support and involvment. The way it looks, It'll be a miracle if we have 150 names by that time, forget 400.
I know that this project can be a success, but I'd hate to think that we need 8 months to recruit 1200 people.
I will be re-doubling my efforts on the local front, I know that some of you have plans to address your gun clubs and other groups, that is great!
The next thing is the hard part.. don't just put up some flyers or drop off some forms.. CLOSE people. We have taken on a big task here with FOUP.. the whole project is designed to energize the Gun-owning masses.. a group which can be agonizingly slow to act. We at TFL are the exception.. let's motivate our Brethren and get this statement out in the open.
If you don't see your name on the FOUP site at noon tomorrow, it means your form hadn't made it in by Noon on Monday, April 5th.
(BTW- the site will have the first 50 Charter Supporters on the main page and a link to a list of other supporters, when necessary)
Thanks for your continued support and energy.
