The Madiscon incident is what finally pushed me to joining. I have lurked around this forum for few months though.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

As a frame of reference, Wisconsin Carry, Inc. has been adding approximately 100 members/month since we announced the lawsuit in January.
Between the Saturday (9/18) incident and Wednesday (9/22) we saw an approximate 1/3 increase in membership.
Since the incident our membership is increasing by hundreds/week, and this is just the on-line membership and does not include the eighteen (18) new founders members. We still haven't processed all the membership(s) from the gatherings this past (25/26) weekend and Nik stated the P.O. Box was full with mail-in memberships and contributions so I expect to see additional members and founder members as we wade through the influx.
WCI is the fastest growing gun-rights organization in the state and we hope to continue this pace right through the end of the year.

Just to elaborate. Membership growth is not the measure of our success but the result of our success.
Action comes first, then results, then membership tends to follow.

This is what makes WCI different from other gun rights groups and why I actually joined. Actions speak much louder than promises.

Exactly why I finally joined myself.
And then seeing the West Bend gathering Sunday reassured me I had made the correct choice.

I think everyone should sign their own shirts and save them for their kids. You were all in on the ground floor of the right to carry movement in Wisconsin.
Also, member numbers were assigned sequentially. Though freedom doesn't lend itself to arrogance, you should be proud that your low member numbers are a personal reminded to how early you got on the train.

You may appropriately bow and grovel when in my presence.

So much for freedom not lending lending itself to arrogance.

Get a sense of humor while you are at it...
Does a founder membership get you a certificate of membership?
A certificate of membership (with member name and member number) on 100 percent acid free paper that I can frame and display in a prominent easily seen place in my home would be great. Signed by Nik (a real signature-not a stamp please).
Hats wear out, but I still want one.

For you would have to donate $250. Just joking of course, but there is an idea to be had there. I know things are really busy, esp. now, for the WCI-BOD, but there was talk of creating a higher level to recognize those that are willing to give significantly more than $100.
I am just guessing, but wouldn't a high quality certificate's greatest cost be in the initial design. Something tasteful...not elaborate. Such a certificate should be a reminder to pass on to others.
I'd pay extra...within reason ;-)
