Thank you. Now I hope you can get four of five of your rights and freedoms loving friends to do the same . . .

I joined the TFC when I finally got my head out of the sand and began to realize how many of our rights and freedoms are slipping away and that my single voice could be amplified manyfold by linking with a lot of responsible folks of like mind. There is no cost to join the Texas Firearms Coalition - but you can make contributions if you would like to support specific efforts. The total number of us that join is extremely important. Sadly, political respect today seems to revolve entirely around numbers instead of ideals and ideas. If those are the rules, let's play by them. If we can get just half of the current Texas CHLs signed up as TFC members, then when the TFC speaks to the Texas politicians, ALL of them of all stripes WILL listen to a voice that represents literally hundreds of thousands of voters. I, for one, sincerely hope that folks like Charles continue to help us understand what our challenges are and what we can do to retain and refine our right to bear arms.

It seems to me that far too many conservatives just continue to try to "play nice" while far too many liberals don't seem to try at all. Why are we "playing nice"? If we cannot sieze the opportunity to do the right thing when we control so much of the State House as well as the Govenorship, then we are doomed to suffer under so many very wrong things that are simply being forced upon us. I have answered every call to action this legislative session and intend to continue to do so. We are talking about trying to protect some of our basic rights and freedoms. If we do not respond in large enough numbers with loud (but respectful) voices and use logical reasoned points of discussion, another legislative session will dribble down the drain with more accumulated incrimental losses and little or no gains. How many of you wore the uniform during times of conflict ? You were willing then to stand up and be counted and to go that extra mile. It is time we do that again. All of the above applies several fold to what is going on in Washington D.C.
