My kind of "Fighting them in the streets"

. . . or at least at the shopping malls. ;)

A week or so ago, Noban posted "What Happened to Them" (Signers of the Declaration).

I Xeroxed 200 of that article and today I stood by a grocery store entrance, with my VFW cap on, handing them out.

Got the "Thousand Yard Stare" and blow offs from about 5% of the customers.

A couple of people read it and asked for another copy. One guy wanted to give a donation. A couple said they had seen it on the Internet.

One Scottish couple came back and kidded that they'd be hung if it was known back home that they read the article - "but we're becoming Americans soon, so we really don't care".

High point of the day was when an American of Latin heritage asked me if there was going to be a parade. He was outraged when I told him "No". "What the Hell is the Fourth of July without a parade? I'm gonna write a letter to the editor!" he said and stormed off.

Had a good time flirting with the 50-year-old "chicks" and got the Hell scared out of me when one 15-year-old, complete with bare midriff and belly button ring flirted back (Oh, $h!t! what do I do now?).

There was a good mixture of old and young, with a lot of the younger ones saying
"thanks" or "that's cool".

I came away with the feeling that the country is not in as bad shape as we think.
Granted, this is a small town in Nevada and not in the Northeast or in the big cities.

Now THAT's how I prefer to fight them in the streets.

I did that in Valdosta GA. You'd be surprised how many store fronts won't let you hand out pamplets when they hear it's about the 2nd. The local Wal-Mart and Sam's in the area were more then happy to do so. They also provided free water (in bottles, not from the fountain) and a snack. Here's what I and a friend did: We pooled about $150 dollars and bought a ton of bumper stickers from GOA. We printed up about two hundred copies of the BoR's (on our our printers), bought some pamplets from the JPFO, and, (we used a ton of ink) printed selective articles from the internet. Printed out membership forms for the NRA, GOA, JPFO and rehearshed a speech to "reel them in". We just spent the day handing out the materials, answering questions (and if we couldn't, we directed them to sites that could or might), chatting with some nice people, some not so nice. Some folks offered donations which we didn't accept for the materials. We asked that all donations be mailed to the RKBA organization of their choice. It was just a spur of the moment thing (actually, a spur of the week thing, dorm life is boring) and we spent a nice Saturday meeting the public. We came away with no materials left and had very little trash (aka, our materials) to pick up after the day was over. If I could save about $200 a month and invest in printer ink, I would try to do this monthly at different locales. One good thing, our "fear" didn't come true that day, the introduction of a rabid anti who is looking for a physical fight to "prove" their point. I and my friend did discuss what we would do but both of us didn't really know how we would have reacted. For the "richer" folks out there that can do this on a quartly or more often basis, it's an idea. USP45usp
 
Good job guys. I'm sitting here with a beer in hand, bar-b-que off to my left on the patio that's just about hot enough to toss on the steaks (sorry PETA), and looking forward to the fireworks at the beach tonight at the Santa Barbara pier.

Hope you all are having a great holiday as well.

Thank you!

Great initiative & folks, if you haven't stood out there for the cause .....
