The Goal is In Sight
Remember seeing how far they've come?
They're in sight of the goal but an email project update says they need a helpful push:
Time to roll up our sleeves and start a serious push to get this campaign funded.
We need to raise $50,000 over the next ten days. Impossible? No. We had over 900 backers on our first campaign and we've had only a little over 200 so far participate in this campaign. So, if all of the original backers will kick in, along with the new donors that have joined us, we will easily reach our goal. But we need all of you to spread the word to your friends and hit that "BACK THIS PROJECT" button.

This Day in History: February 6
February 6, 1781 at Grant's Creek, Rowan County, North Carolina - To prevent unnecessary losses in attempting to cross at Trading Ford, Cornwallis moved up river some distance to Shallow Ford. At the same time he sent Tarleton in advance to reconnoiter. Tarleton encountered Col. Francis Lock and 100 North Carolina militia who were engaged in destroying the bridge at Grant's Creek. Tarleton sent a detachment up to around the mouth of the creek, for purposes of taking Locke from the rear. As a result, Locke's troops were dispersed, though with only 1 wounded. Cornwallis later crossed the Yadkin at Shallow Ford during the night, and was on the opposite bank by the 7th. Conclusion: British Victory [More]

Snafu keeps gun dealers in jail as attorney urges investigation of prosecutors
“They are waiting for the ankle monitors to get in for the release. United States Probation is getting them,” it was explained.Today's Gun Rights Examiner report brings the latest outrage this poor family must endure, courtesy of that entity Constitutionally mandated "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity."
What this means is, the only reason the father and son have not already been released and must wait until at least Monday to be able to rejoin their family, is because those holding them are unable to comply with the judge’s order, and made no preparations anticipating the likely potential that a prosecution relying on suppression of evidence to win convictions might be overruled.
