Because this is an election year, people are listening.

I'm in this thing to win it, to win minds to our side everyday.

It is that important.

Who is with me?

For each $5 I donate, do I get to throw out an ad hominem (or break a forum rule of my choosing) toward anyone with no repercussions?

That could be fun!

Bah. One thing around here that us RP supporters do respect is privacy! That being said however, I still need to enlist brother and sisters who will respect the heritage of our forefathers.

So I am donating an additional $110 to the chip-in as I speculate Amy like about 190 others here wishes to maintain her privacy!

BUT, I will only click send if she agrees that within the next 12-16 months, she will agree to attend a local Appleseed event!

The clock is ticking Amy.... :)

Yeah but, I don't have a rifle. . . and I really don't even know where to get one. I don't even know if I'm right-eye or left-eye dominant!

But maybe I could find out where to get one, I suppose I should try to do that before Obama becomes president, as it may not be possible afterwards.

The pressure!

Sorry to ruin all your guys' fun :)

Look at it this way. RPF's gets an extra $110, and we may now potentially have another Rifleman (or Riflewoman in this case) in the U.S.

Sounds like win-win to me! What say you?

Okay. You got me Cowlesy, I'm in and will definitely go to an Appleseed event. I'll give your brother a visit, make sure he hooks me up with the right equipment. :)

I think I hear your Revolutionary War ancestors applauding :)

Come on, all you who would have kicked in for that $110, will you kick in because you believe, like me, we can save this great nation??

I will bet you $100 I can hit a target with a...handgun of my choosing from quarter of a mile away.

And JTL, if you kick in, I'll show you a picture of something I'm working on right now. It's impressive!

[Cowlesy]

Oh shove a stick where the sun doesn't shine, seriously.

Josh and Bryan aren't tapping their finger tips deciding what ads come up. McCain ads pop up because there are threads that use the word "McCain" 14x.

I am sure the $28 a month the forum makes from those ads does a ton to furnish their lavish lifestyle, even though the forum costs way over a $100 a month.

But thanks for playing, seriously.

Or better yet, buy a ticket to the inaugural Liberty Straw Poll (http://www.libertystrawpoll.com) and VOTE!

Help decide our next leaders, buy extra tickets and make up contests and games. It's all about having fun. Takes a hundred pennies to make a buck, and tossiing em around can be better entertainment than lots of things we spend money on.

The first time we realized how many of us there really were, and what kind of power we had working together as a group.
They wanted us to raise $500,000 in seven days... a total that at the time seemed absurd...
We raised that much in 3 days, and finished off with a million in a week.

Back then, he didn't get harassed daily for daring to dream.

That was great. I was all packed up and leaving HI. Finalizing the bike thing, and then someone here talked me into working the RP MySpace Friends List Blocks (hhhmmmm...) and it all became a blur... I missed so much of the drama on the road... (ahhhhh...:))

Wait. Are you saying you can hit a target with a handgun from ~ 1300 feet? How many rounds? Are we talking luck, or can you hit the target consistently?

And what type of handgun? Any special modifications?

[acptulsa]

And what type of handgun?

I really, really need to get that Ruger Mk II I've been thinking about for a while. Don't know that I'll bet on a quarter mile performance, but I do know that model well enough to know that's what I'll be using to try.

LA's road were a trip. It was the first state where freeways were completely off limits so I had to adjust to different road systems with shifting shoulders. The roads might have been rough, but the people were great. I'd turn back at times and there'd be a line of cars behind that could have passed but... chose to wave and smile. I'd pull off the road completely and they'd all go by waving. Classic, "no hurry; no worry" attitude.

At another point I hit a construction patch in the late afternoon that was almost impossible to advance on and I was getting worried about getting off the road at night. One of our darker skinned cousins in an old work truck pulled over, laughing; asking if I wanted a ride past the stretch :D.

LA - Rough roads - Good People!
