Hoss, You just hit it! We do need a General to take charge, but until we get one, we do what the ARMY does, and fight with gorilla tactics ( as it were) I think what we need to do to start is to figure out how we can get the voice of the people heard! For that we need some one like etrain16, or any number of fine, well spoken folks here! take that mission and make it our own. We have a unique position here on the forum, we have many who are well spoken, well read, and could take our collective voice and spread the message to the masses! Start locally in Orygun at the State capital with Gov'ness Hateful Kate and get them to listen. Take it to the reps, the senators, the congressmen IN MASS, and make them hear! Take these events and get the media to broadcast them to the masses so that the messages will be heard! The NRA has not taken any of these challenges up and I suspect they are waiting for some one to stand up and be the voice of reason, then they will sweep in and use the power they have to further the message! That is another problem I have, You see commercials on utube all the time from the NRA, but you never see them in regular T.V. or on signs and billboards! I think a strong e mail flood to them to get the message out that way would go further! In the end, we need to do something positive to effect changes at the local and State level, make OryGun an example to follow and let that run up the flag poll! Lets put our heads together and come up with some sort of plan, otherwise, the left will just keep pushing untill the changes they want get through, and we get screwed!
As much as I appreciate the sentiment, I think we need something more. Yes, there are some very well spoken folks on this forum, you are among them. But what we lack is someone with considerable power and influence, someone that can get these messages to a large group of people. It's fun to share our thoughts on this forum, but it doesn't go anywhere. We need someone with a lot of money to back someone with a lot of power and influence, that can rattle cages in Salem, Olympia, Washington D.C., etc. I honestly don't know if there is anyone of that caliber out there - if there is, I would love to know who they are, because I'd love to put my support behind them. It seems there is a huge hole, just waiting to be filled with the right person. Maybe someone will find that person and we can all encourage them to take the lead, while the rest of us follow.
