I like Captain Will's idea soooooooo much.

Here's an idea that maybe you could run by senior management here on this site:

I see a lot of giveaways or raffles on here whose entry requirement is a post that says something like "I'm in" or " I love Spikes Tactical and Long Island Firearms".

How about making the entry requirement a letter to the politician of your choice, with a photocopy mailed to LIF HQ? That would ensure somebody wrote a letter, and actually went to the post office at least.

I think a lot of people would do this for a chance at , say, a free Appleseed entry and it does a lot more for the cause than "I'm in".

I havwe written several letters, but admittedly have become somewhat discouraged with the process as I'm sure thery are just going into the circular file. I think a lot of us could use a prodding in this respect. It is hard for a lot of us to "stay motivated" when it seems our efforts aren't of any benefit.

Fortunately, I think the other side has the same issue to contend with, and they seem to be attriting members...

So, let's get some letters together from this committee. Then I'll draft up my online forms I can create, and print out hard copies to which I will mail out one by one. This way we know who's doing the letters, they can add their own two cents (and not write something unprofessional) and we know they got mailed.

I will give away a rifle.

Give some thought to the idea of mailing one by one. Inundating them may be a better idea.
One by one is too easy to remit to the circular file by one of thier assistants.
A thousand letters in the span of a day or two is a little hard to ignore either by snail mail or email. just a thought

Hey, that's easier for me. an Overnight letter filled with letters? IM IN!

As much as I hate to say it, he came up with a good idea.  Lets see what we can come up with.

This is a slam dunk. We just need the letter and what we want to get our point across. There's an easy 200 letters right there.

Which is easier to chuck in the garbage, a thousand letters in one envelope or a thousand letters in a thousand envelopes? I think the greater the volume, the greater the impact.

When is the next raffle or simular event Steve?

 

[The Architect]

Let's get the letters written, our point across etc.

I say we have them fill out/submit more than one to get entry.

Who in on the writing the articles?

..now

Perfect timing

Indeed. What, now then, is the most urgent issue we can address?

 

[Starman]

A letter to Steve Levy about the sad state of CCW in Suffolk county or a letter to Gov. Cuomo to see about making CCW laws universal throughout NYS.  Or even a protest letter to B of A concerning their anti-gun stance?

Make that Steve Bellone and I'll throw in an Appleseed Ticket.

Not a bad idea, not bad at all! No matter what we do concerning CCW on Long island, it will take a massive effort to change anything. The minds of these bureaucrats are pretty well set in their positions but over time and with great letter writing campaigns... who knows!

This is what I meant....not a thousand letters in one envelope, but a thousand letters in a thousand envelopes all reaching them in the span of one or two days.
