Taking To The Streets
« on: February 06, 2013, 04:58:41 AM »
I hate politics and I don't do much but quietly try to convince people around me on important issues, BUT....
Friday 2/8, at nearly 58 years of age I am taking to the streets for the first time in my life. I'm taking a day off work, driving 42 miles to catch a charter bus into Trenton to march on the state capitol in support of our 2nd Amendment rights. It's supposed to rain or snow and it doesn't matter. This is the first time I have thought it important enough and felt threatened enough to excercise my right to peaceful assembly.

I'm proud of my country and I want to keep what makes us american, and I want this class of spineless, valueless political scum to know they will not be safe if they violate my rights as an american.

God bless you, Jay.

Stay warm, and don't catch cold.

And know that we unfortunates who are stuck in warmer climes are with your freezing butt, at least in spirit.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

You're doing good, Jay.

I guess it won't be possible to haul your guitar along. 

Some 'marching music' might help buoy spirits if the weather is tough.

Now they're calling for a foot of snow and/or rain. Won't take a guitar out in that, but I do have some pretty nice rain gear I bought in a shop that sells to commercial fishermen.

Pack hand warmers, and stuff them everywhere. Thank You!!!!!

Take some pic's if you can.

I know a crowd went to Annapolis today. For Gov. O'Malley's asinine proposals.

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

A thermos of some special Irish coffee will help keep you warm, too.

Bravery and stupidity are often synonymous.  So are cowardice and intelligence.

"We Americans have been a rebellious band of freedom loving vagabonds from the very beginning. Our freedom from the crown and tyranny would not exist had it not been for the gun. That's a tradition we like to hold on to.  The same can't be said for the rest of you 'Subjects of the Queen'."--said to a Canadian friend who just doesn't get it.

Trenton NJ, within yards of where Washington crossed the Delaware and killed the Hessians in their sleep.

REALLY nasty weather, but we stayed outside of the statehouse for 4 hours listening to speakers and cheering on - talking to the asshats inside.

Christie didn't make it (of course).


Couldn't count the attendance but we filled the courtyard. Video of the scene below.
