Sipsey Street Irregulars: KABA in need of funds to keep operating.

KABA in need of funds to keep operating.

I checked with Larry Pratt about the Olofson fund and right now they are staying slightly ahead of the bills. If that were not the case, I would broadcast another appeal for David instead of passing this one on from Keep and Bear Arms.

From the time of its founding by Angel Shamaya, I have always found KABA to be the best and quickest way to find out what the headlines in the gun rights world are. As you will see below, they need help now to stay afloat. If you can afford it, send them a little something. Go to this link and click on the appropriate means of donation for you. Thanks.

URGENT FUNDRAISING APPEAL - NEED TO RAISE $9,870.00 FOR OPERATING FUNDS - PLEASE HELP

June 8, 2009

Dear Friend of KeepAndBearArms.com:

Our website is experiencing a critical cash flow problem this spring & summer.
We have so many urgent needs at the moment. In particular getting caught up on bills owed.

We are also trying to expand the number of gun owners that visit our site before Congress and many state legislatures take up new gun control measures. To do so requires us to place banner ads on other sites and ads in search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN.

We plan on expanding our reach with more news, information, and grassroots action projects to expose and defeat the enemies of freedom.

Help us send a loud and clear message to the United Nations, Brady Center, Million Mom March, Violence Policy Center, and the entire anti-gun rights movement.

BUT, at this time, we need funds. SO, if you can join, renew, and/or make a mid-year contribution RIGHT NOW, it will help us immensely. We need to raise $9,870.00 from generous donors to meet our obligations.

For those of you who can help, thanks a million!

Thanks so much from all of us here at KeepAndBearArms.com

Alan, Julie, Joe, Peggy, Bruce, and Mark

Uncle Lar said...: Y'all, I know money is tight right now, but if you have a steady job and visit KABA even semi regularly, then why aren't you a subscriber? Not to put too sharp a point on this, but put your money where your mouth is or admit to one and all that you're all mouth. The price of a beer or two a month buys a year's subscription at $25. And if you're especially blessed consider throwing a few bucks at the Olafson family support fund. He is truly out there at the pointy end of things for the rest of us and his family could sure use the help.
And yes, I do contribute to both as well as SAF, GOA, and a couple of legal defense funds. Other than my yearly dues and the occasional roundup at component vendors I do not give the NRA any additional funds. Too much of what they do does not deserve my support IMHO.; June 18, 2009 at 8:44 AM

thedweeze said...: I've noticed the welcome absence of both Tim and Deadeye over there, so perhaps I'll send them some money.; June 18, 2009 at 2:58 PM
Uncle Lar said...: Yeah, due to the increase in a very few individuals depositing disjointed off topic rants on KABA they have had to adopt minimal registration to post comments. All due to a few inconsiderate jerks with tinfoil hat agendas that abused the open forum the site offered.
A$$hats every one.; June 19, 2009 at 9:30 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
