Between July 30th and September 17 (Constitution Day) 2009 - I will be canvassing 100 counties and 100 county commissioners boards to resolve to support a North Carolina Firearms Freedom Act. Everything about this effort is on the Facebook group. (http://bit.ly/VlNzh)

We just pushed a party sovereignty and 2nd Amendment resolution from precincts to state in the 2009 NC Republican Convention cycle, and won, overwhelmingly. Resulting in this Acrobat PDF document (http://bit.ly/J8kqg)

So if you are just hanging out and want to help see North Carolina get a Firearms Freedom Act, connect on Facebook for now, or offer a better hosting solution quickly.

The 2009 campaign is specifically suited to 'imported help' for a point of fact, collecting 1000 signatures per county, in September you can go home and we will have a HUGE FFA network in place for the 2010 fight.

What I need is massive manpower, and funding for gas and lit.

I am developing the lit package now. The Carolina Resolves, a copy of H849 NC State Sovereignty, a copy of the Montana Firearms Freedom Act (plus an objective summary), and a request for signature on the petition. If we get well funded I can also include H849 stickers and NC FFA stickers.

The canvass is simple. 'Hello, I am helping the North Carolina Firearms Freedom Act, and I have this material for you to look at, and a petition to sign supporting a North Carolina version of the Montana Firearms Freedom Act. Would you like to support this act now, or would you like to discuss the material first?"

Should build 1000 signatures quick no? Make signatures to 1/2 page transfer coupons, copy onto exactly 1 ream of paper for 1000 signatures per county delivered, hopefully with a county commissioners resolution on top of every stack.

Collect 10,000 signatures through the same process in 2010 and do the commissioners thing again, fitting 10 petitions on a page for 2 reams per county.

People need to be available July 30 through -> 17 Sept even if individuals only help in little bits at a time. contact me at constitutionalist@nc.rr.com to discuss volunteering, donating helping with the creation of materials etc etc etc

Man, we need something like this in both Florida and Georgia. The nice thing about the North Carolina act, if you can get it passed, is that the M249 SAW is natively manufactured in one of the firearms plants in North Carolina. Lucky buggers. :D

I just updated the Montana FFA and posted a proposed text on Liberty Forest here. (http://www.libertyforest.com/showthread.php?t=199840)

Perhaps you could take the MT legislation and write a Florida version and lobby for it from the grassroots like we are doing. We have enough Paulers in enough places in NC now (just following the good Dr's advice) to where we can run and push @ legislation.

The TN Firearms Freedom Act sailed through our legislature.

Gunny:

You need to rent a table at all the major gun shows in the state. At a minimum, you need to be at gun shows in the following cities:

Charlotte
Greensboro
Raleigh
Asheville
Fayetteville
Winston-Salem
Hickory

If you reside in the Camp Lejeune area, there are good minor shows in Jacksonville, New Bern and Wilmington.

Ladies and gentlemen, as of August 1st 2009, the last month of the NCGA session, we have a total of 8 counties represented on the coordination Ning.

This effort, of course, has only just begun. I had said earlier that if we are not close to 100 counties by August 1st, then our focus needed to shift from 2009 to 2010, where we will have the time to do it even bigger and better anyway. With eight counties represented at that deadline, I think the best allocation of our efforts and resources will be on a 2010 campaign.

Please let me know if you still want to work on 2009, because there are many such efforts that will translate well going forward, so no effort will be wasted. Signature collection should continue as normal anyway, as our target for a 2010 effort is 5000 signatures per county to support a NCFFA.

UPDATE:

We will have some more literature soon, and as soon as I can get some help in the department we will have a free-standing website to push people interested at.

The original author of the MT FFA has contacted me and will be assisting us. He has also set up a website here: http://firearmsfreedomact.org/ and placed NC in the "Intending" category from our conversations.

I, Glen Bradley, coordinating the effort currently am still running for NC House in District 49. I do not believe this will slow down the NCFFA effort, as we drive deeper into 2010 I am hoping for the grassroots to pick up more activity, and I consider my campaign for State House as a part of this effort, in that if nothing else I may be able to introduce the NCFFA legislation myself.

From this point, for the next...3 months (to the Beginning of November) the primary effort must be to get 100 counties on the Volunteers Ning. I think a goal of 80 counties by November 1 is reasonable, that's more than 10 times the time it took to get 8.

NC FFA Volunteers Ning: http://ncffav.ning.com/

So for the next 90 days, in regards to the NCFFA, let's please focus on pushing to get 100 counties represented on the NC FFA Ning.

So the best way you can help right now, is to try and get everybody you know in the State of NC who would like to volunteer to help see the NC General Assembly adopt a NC FFA as state law, to join the NCFFA Volunteers Ning and set up their own county.

Thank you for all that you do,
Glen Bradley
