Words from the Founding Fathers |
"I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power, than by violent and sudden usurpations[.]"
James Madison,
Speech at the Virginia Convention to ratify the Federal Constitution
June 6, 1788 |
In each issue of our newsletter, we highlight one of our events. In this issue, we want to showcase a recent Rifle Instructor Boot Camp (IBC) on June 8-9 in Furitland Park, Florida. Below are some words from the Shoot Boss, ScubaSteve.
"This was an outstanding event in a great venue. Mario and Shelly opened up their home and their "She Shed" to Project Appleseed. 21 Great Americans from 3 states all gathered in the small town of Fruitland Park Fl for the event.
We had 7 ladies, 8 IITs, 2 Sr Instructors and the best group of Red hats any Shootboss could ask for. "

July 's History Article:
"The Declaration of Independence" |
"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation."

"New Adaptive Tools for Pistol" |
Whether you require adaptive techniques now or not, I have it under good authority that we are all aging, and life events come out of nowhere, There are some great tips in this month's marksmanship article. BBQ_Bandit shares his experience and his journey...
"This post is the end result of a long-term transitioning thought process: how to manipulate a semi auto pistol within my own limitations.
Also known as: How do I pull this off safely with the limited use of one hand?"

One Minute to Help Preserve Our Nation |
Imagine a conversation with John Adams, Patrick Henry, and George Washington after 8 years of bloody battle, years of economic depression, and inner bickering on how to secure their new "America". How amazed would they be with our ability to impact our country in just a minute, compared to what they had to go through? Yet, they would be proud of the fact that we have benefited so greatly from their blessings.
It takes just one minute to write a simple postcard, email, or letter to our representatives to make a difference in preserving our nation. Although you will likely never convince a representative who is dead set on a position, they simply need to know that folks back home are for or against an issue and are watching them. Studies have shown that with just 10-12 letters, representatives on the state level can be swayed. With as few as 50 letters, some federal representatives can be swayed. Not bad for a minute's worth of work once or twice a week. This link www.usa.gov can provide contact information for your State and Federal Representatives.
