To no one's surprise, the powers that be at the NRA Annual Meeting will not allow the presentation to take place at the convention, so this scene in front of the supportive assemblage will remain a fantasy image (pity, I was really looking forward to the ceremonial Wookiee roar):
In the mean time, there is a bit of a logistics issue. Meaning many (most) who receive regular value from Sipsey Street Irregulars apparently assume its proprietor can continue to serve us all with no recompense, and if he wishes to eat and provide for himself and his family, well, he can do that in his spare time and out of our sight. And that means funds just aren't there to haul Vanderboegh's carcass up from Pinson, AL to accept an award he has earned.
So I repeat my call--not for charity or for donations, but to voluntarily subscribe to Sipsey Street Irregulars. As I said in that post:
My envelope with my $12 annual subscription fee is in the mail.
Mike VanderboeghP.O. Box 926Pinson, AL 35126.If you agree with me, yours will be too, and you'll spread the word.
As with last time I put out an appeal, I did not clear this with Mike and don't wish to embarrass him. But dammit, the guy is out there every day giving his all to us. Click on the three Project Gunwalker Journalist Guide icons in my sidebar and then consider what his prolific output required of him.
Remember, I never ask readers to do anything I don't do myself. In order to keep expenses down, I'll put him up at my palatial digs in the guest room, plus I'm one hell of a cook, so meals are taken care of, and Pittsburgh is only a hundred miles or so from where I live, so I can handle that leg of his trip. Meaning we need to either get enough for him to rent a car for a few days and gas it up for a 1,400 mile round trip to my place, or else find out if he's on TSA's No Fly list, what with his being a domestic terrorist hatriot 'n all...
Let's just do this.
Well, it looks like you guys are on the NRA No Fly list.
ReplyDeleteWhen they heard you were going to be presented the award at the NRA Annual Meeting, they said, "That ain't gonna fly."
I try, every payday (biweekly) to send Mike and Joel Rosenberg (a Jew With a Gun) $10 each. I know it ain't a lot, but according to some the immaterial support shown really helps.
