Folks, time to ramp it up again to roll our radio ad campaign into Madison! we have a great lineup planned, balsting our ads over 3 stations for a week.

As you can see at http://www.opencarry.org/carryland.htmlwe need to raise $1,090 by next week to make this happen - but the great news is, we have another $500 matching donar: Dean Weingarten, AKA "ccwinstructor"

Every dollar you give will be matched thru an aggregate total of $500 - so let's roll now! Give today in a few seconds over your credit card at http://www.opencarry.org/carryland.html.

This will only take a few seconds - give what you can - $10, $50, or more!

Attached is the radio ad recording file:

Been a lurker for a while, but I registered to say I donated what I could afford, and that oddly enough, less than a week ago, I was emailing with Vicki McKenna about the idea of radio advertisements to inform the public about open carry and the laws surrounding it.

After communications with Gene German of the Wisconsin Patriots, I was advised that it was not a good idea, claiming that it would make Open Carry a spectacle in Wisconsin.

Considering that it's already a spectacle, I don't see where his concern lies, so I'm glad to see it going forward anyway.

A lot of gun owners are anti gun in some respects.

We have made progress - but more is needed to spread the word to sign the oinline petition.

Especially if you live, work, or go to school in Wisconsin, please give at least a nominal (e.g., $10, $25, etc) contribution to Operation CarryLand today at http://www.opencarry.org/carryland.html- it will only take a minute by credit or debit card, NO PAY PAL ACCOUNT IS NECESSARY.

And we still have some matching funds available from a generous donor - so your contribution will be doubled!

Operation CarryLand fundraising funds out radio advertizing campaign to drive people to the online petition - later the email addresses will be harvested for direct alert attack vectors at the Wisconsin legislature to repeal Wisconsin's onerous statutory gin control scheme.

Please give today at http://www.opencarry.org/carryland.htmland help turn Wisconsin into America's carry land.

Mark,


I am sorry no one has responded yet.

If you are willing to pass a hat it would be greatly appreciated. Contact me and I will make sure the money gets where it needs to go. If I have to use it to buy pre-paid Credit cards I will do that.

Thank you for all of your help.
