Anti-rights groups have announced that they will protest a gun rights rally planned for April 5th using social media and creating a 'thunderclap'.


Our response is to counterattack. We will need help from every single person reading this to make a thunderclap that makes their efforts look petty and silly.


First:
Go to the linked site and choose to 'support' this campaign with any of the following that you have an account for:


Twitter
Facebook
Tumblr


This costs you NOTHING. All you are doing is granting permission for the well known, secure site to post the message you see on that page to your social media account on April 5th at 12:00pm. It is easy as a few clicks to embarrass the anti-rights cultists that are hurting gun owners in Connecticut.


If you don't have an account on one of these sites, please consider starting one. Social media is a very important tool for us.


Second:
Spread this link as far and wide as possible. The supporters currently say 'of 250'. We do not plan to stop there. We will be increasing this number as we progress. There is no upper limit to our campaign.


People do not need to be in Connecticut to support this campaign, invite all of your friends, family and organizations in whatever states they might be in to crush these collectivists. Share this post with everyone on your friends list, and email to your contacts.

In 17 hours, we have achieved 90% of our goal to counter protest the anti-rights cultists at CAGV. Let's keep up the momentum and make sure that they go crawl back in the hole they came from once and for all.

Keep up the good work everyone, keep sharing, especially to those heavy hitters' on social media with huge networks. We are about to increase the goal and we are going to need all the help we can get!

Great work everyone!

Yesterday we made the bold move to double our original goal of 250 supporters which was the same goal as our opposition. We are already over 111% of that goal and we are still growing our support. We are increasing our margin over the opposition all the time and our new goal is going to be 750 supporters. For reference, the maximum goal that thunderclap usually allows is 500 supporters and we blew right past that. That is why we are the #1 trending campaign on the thunderclap main page right now. We need everyone to keep up the great work as we still have 6 days left. Imagine what we can do in 6 days, considering we came from 0 to well over double the opposition's goal in 2 days. Nothing can stop us if we all keep this pace.

Thank you to everyone supporting our fight.

Connecticut Chooses Liberty!

We are up to 650 supporters on our social media campaign. Our goal is 750 by Tuesday. The anti-rights groups are pushing hard to try and catch up to us. We need to keep pushing even harder to expand our lead. We still have 5 days left in this race.

The best way to put us far into the lead is to share this with all of your friends on facebook and tweet it to all of your contacts. Don't forget to post it on the big pages you know and ask anyone on social media with a good following to help out.

It is a new week, let's get some fresh people involved!

The anti-rights groups have been desperately scrambling to gain traction in their thunderclap. So far, we have stayed in the lead by a very good margin, but it is time for us to put our foot back to the floor.

We have not raised the goal in a while, but we are now. We need to get to 2,000 supporters by the end of the day.

The anti-rights groups have finally crested 1,000 supporters. Most of these supporters are coming from the Bloomberg funded national anti-rights groups, despite CSGV crying on twitter that we had national support. Hypocrisy is nothing new with the anti-rights groups.

Remember what we are fighting for on this thunderclap:

To provide social media cover for the CCDL Rally in Hartford on Saturday, April 5th. While people are out exercising their rights, the anti-rights groups aimed to attack them on social media with linguistic filth like accusing them of being 'the KKK', 'bullies' or out to 'intimidate'.

We have seen the discourse from their supporters, now is the time to show what a minority they are and relegate them to being a figment of history.

Please contact your state and federal gun rights organizations, gun clubs and the businesses you support to get involved. While we can still use as many individual supporters as we can get, the big names will push us over.

Make sure you explain that it is important that they actually come to our thunderclap and support it, not just reshare the link. The action of supporting only posts a message on your account on Saturday at noon, but it provides so much to make the anti-rights groups ineffectual.
