Excellent!  Cool to see some news coverage for the NFOA.

So how many new members got signed up yesterday?

[Dan W]

Mr Price gave us a pretty good plug there. 

[Mike M.]

Thats some good PR for us. wonder if we could get that to go state wide.

[SBarry]

Good plug, Ginger is a very nice lady, gave us the exposure without giving her any lead time. All I had to do was ask. We signed up around 60-70 yesterday.

Good work guys.

Rick signed the majority of the 132 people this weekend, we are by my estimates around 2,450 members now. I could be missing some numbers from the Lincoln show last week. so it may be higher.

I needed to slow down a bit and take a break, the apethy of some of the attendees has been getting to me recently, and I felt that I may snap and say something that would be a bad image for the NFOA, so I took it easy. We also got a little help from the "We the People" organization from the Hastings area. I will do a little studying about them, seem to be a great group and they have a very straight forward leader. I believe they have around 350-400 members.

AAllen, Pink, Glock1, FKSSA, FarmerRick, Fluff, George and RichB all were there, glad to see everyone and appreciated the help signing people up on our way to 10,000 members.  

A very special thanks to Jim Price and Fluff for getting the NFOA a table in the main entryway, and thanks to Jim for the great plug and allowing us to get our first television exposure , and thanks to Ginger TenBensel from KHAS TV channel 5 new for doing a beneficial story not only for us, but for all gun owners.

Although we were not recognized as NFOA members, AAllen and I were on Lou Dobbs (CNN's version of a conservative, their only version) last monday, you could see Andy's face in the opening about the GRPC and see my torso and lower jaw in one scene while clapping for a speaker. Sad that Wayne LaPierre got so much attention when Alan Gottlieb was "the man" at this conference. Wayne was there for all about 30 minutes with a canned speech.

One thing they all preached, get the grass roots gun rights groups organized and active. They don't have time or money to spend on low population states, they have bigger fish to fry nationally and internationally. Pass that on to your "NRA only" buddies.

Lou Dobbs Report of GRPC event;



It was a great time, next year it's behind the lines in San Francisco last weekend of September.

Great guys! Thanks for working hard to get us closer to 10,000.

This is a very important point that can not be overlooked.

The threat to our Second Amendment Freedoms went global a number of years ago. The UN has been inundated with any number of treaties that could affect our Right to keep and bear arms if ratified by the Senate and signed by the President.

The NRA has shouldered the mantle in opposing these measures. This necessary action has left a void in the state houses and municipal councils, a void that must be filled by grassroots groups like the NFOA. The NRA has asked for our help in this regard.

Over the last several years I have talked to a number of people that feel like the NRA is not doing all it could to support us at the state and local level. I confess I was guilty of that thinking to a small degree until I had the opportunity to talk with Wayne La Pierre in 2004. The global threat to our Second Amendment Rights is very real and the NRA is the only organization that has the funds and expertise to protect those Rights.

In support of the NRA it is up to us to fill the void at the state and local level. The Second Amendment Foundation is an excellent resource for assisting the NFOA in becoming a much more effective force for "Gun Rights" in the Cornhusker State. Since the Gun Rights Policy Conference there are a number of projects that should be considered that will assist the NFOA in becoming a more effective organization.

Believe me, the NRA is working harder than ever to project our 2A Rights, it is just being done at a higher level than ever before. It is incumbent on us to support them and fill the state and local void that was created by the actions of the "Global Community".

Good post, Gunscribe.

The NRA can't do everything for everyone.  We all must work together - NFOA, NRA, SAF, CCRKBA, all of us.

[huskergun]

I agree Gunscribe. We all have to stick together.

Nice publicity & great work on getting more people signed up.
