[align=left]VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
[/b]
[/b]To date members have worked independently as a grass roots operation with a small core group of people assisting where they can, and that has worked out well. There is no board of directors, no official officers, just volunteers doing what they can. But the [/b]Michigan[/b] Open Carry (MOC) movement is growing and with growth comes increasing responsibility as our actions could affect millions of [/b]Michigan[/b] gun owners.[/b]
[/b]It’s evident that open carry is growing in [/b]Michigan[/b]. With the recent arrest and dismissal for open carry in Grand Haven and the possible civil litigation to follow it’s prudent to consider the possibility that as word gets out those opposed to OC will start enacting ways to restrict or ban our OC right.[/b]
[/b]So, with the assistance of Gun Owners of America’s (GOA) Michigan Representative I’m asking for volunteers to be “MOC Regional Team Members” (MOC-RTM) with a goal of five for each region, that’s just 25 people total, and more is always welcome. These Team members would be the “go to person” in managing OC activities in their regions. Ideally I would like to see one contact person for each county, but for now 5 people per region would be very helpful. Duties for the contact person could include but not limited to any of the following.[/b]
[/b]1) [/b]Organize OC get-togethers, present talks on OC to local sportsman groups, gun clubs, Police agencies, etc. Develop other members to be county contact persons within their regions.[/b]
2) [/b]Contact and be interviewed by the media.[/b]
3) [/b]Keep abreast and post any current pro and anti-gun legislation in their regions.[/b]
4) [/b]Work to develop good relationships with Sheriffs, Local PDs, and Legislators in their regions. Also help with any clerical need e.g. mailings, fund-raising, etc.[/b]
[/b]Everyone has talents that they can use to promote the OC cause. The MOC-RTM would develop a network of talented volunteers within their region to assist them in promoting OC.[/b]
[/b]As a start I have divided the state into regions that takes into account Counties and to some extent senate political boundaries. There is some overlap between districts but at this time we will have to deal with this until we get more volunteers to work smaller areas within regions.[/b]
[/b]If you are interested in helping to represent and work in your area let me know either by posting here or by PMing me. You will have the opportunity to shape the future of OC in [/b]Michigan[/b] and by working together we can help protect not just our firearm rights but all our rights as Americans.[/align]
