The future is in our hands. The future is in YOUR hands. If nothing else, this year has taught us a lesson in consequences. The consequences of not being active enough. The consequences of not being outspoken enough. The consequences of not leading enough.
You see, when I assumed the reigns of this organization from our dearly departed Kim, the world had just changed on us all, and not for the better. For the first time in well over a decade, the antiConstitution crowd had won the House of Representatives here in Pennsylvania. An anti-Constitution flood had been building for years behind a wall of pro-Constitution committees, and those committees had kept the floodgates closed in Harrisburg. 2023 has changed all of that… the gates have opened.
The pro-Constitution crowd is still fighting. They’re fighting from a MINORITY stance that leaves us scrambling to address would-be violations of our rights with white papers and public speaking. Leaves us spending funding trying to combat the push on our legislators to instill tyrannical laws burdening all of us with violations of our natural right to self-defense. It leaves me stunned at the sheer stupidity of some of the violations these would be tyrants trying to tear down our Constitution are intent on pushing through the legislature to the governor’s desk. It leaves me furious that so many men and women who have pledged an oath to defend our Constitutions have instead attacked it repeatedly.
So how is that in YOUR hands? The Pennsylvania sportsman’s worst enemy is… the Pennsylvania sportsman. We need to activate our friends and like-minded citizens to get to the polls and vote. We need to forget objections to mail in ballots and embrace the weapon of our enemy. We can’t expect to win elections voting for thirteen hours when the enemy votes for sixty days. We need to open each other’s eyes and wake those amongst us who are sleeping waiting for someone else to do it.
If each one of us gets one inactive sportsman to vote that otherwise wouldn’t, we win the House back and soon the Governorship as well. It’s time we all stopped sitting on the sidelines waiting for someone else to step up, and get it done. If you’ve ever wondered what YOU can do to help in the fight against tyranny, it’s time to step up. Reach out to me or a board member and declare your interest in making a difference. We’re putting together teams and districts to begin our counterassault to defend all that is dear to us. We’re a Constitutional Republic, and this Republic needs us objective oriented and well regulated. Now more than ever…
