yes! I was going to mention that the publicity from the Texas billboard will spill over into the efforts in FL, SC, and OK - so please do contribute. Once we reach the $2,500, we are going to launch the next wave of publicity on the open carry movement, which even the larger gun groups are starting to recognize as a new powerful engine fueling the gun rights revolution.

Let me check my finances and I will donate what I can. I'm currently between jobs (last day of work was today, start a new job on the 21st), but I have cash saved up, just not sure I'm willing to separate with. It will be at least $25, hopefully more.

Thank you all so much!

I have updated the total as of this morning and with the matching donation, we are at $1,640!!!

I am working to update the status of everyone who has donated. Some of you have different email addresses for Paypal than you do for OCDO and I have sent you emails so that I can match the donation to the username.

As Mike said, I am in Minneapolis now getting ready for law school to start this fall so I appreciate your patience.

PS. Those who have already donated to the support of the board will also be recognized as soon as I have the time to go back and pull the records.

Sent my contribution from the Commonwealth of Virginia. Texas folks have the "right stuff" and need open carry to make their life easier. I'm salting away the pennies for the next campaign - FL, SC, OK, wherever.

stay safe.

Its kind of neat to be able to seed things around the country, even if it takes 30 years for it to do any good in Illinois.. :)

Those of youthat frequentother2A relatedforums might want to post a link to this thread in those forums. Even if it does not generate any money, it might give people an idea.

I wish I was already through with college and had a higher paying job. I'd donate the $5000 myself if I could. For now, I hope my $10 will help.

The aware people of Texas want this. 20,676 signatures and counting!!!!

That's what we are talking about - $10 or more from as many people possible - there are 8,000 people on this forum, and more lurking - BTW, even some of the lurkers have contributed money :cool:
