Appleseed Project
« on: August 01, 2010, 01:22:13 PM »

Have any of our members joined or participated in this group? I read an interesting article about them in today's, August 1, N.Y. Times magazine. They have published a rebuttal letter in this link.

I have not been to one but saw there advertising for a couple of there events here in NC. Seems like a real good program.

Does seem like a good group; good program, for sure.

Any program teaching heritage and history and shooting skills to anyone interested especially todays youth is good in my book.

I agree, John, and it seems that this project has found an inextricable connection between our revolutionary heritage and the importance of the right to bear arms and, most importantly, to pass these skills to the next generation. I really liked their response to the N.Y. Times; it showed a lot of class.
