The "Rally in Tally" was a SUCCESS!

Oath Keepers from as far away as Pasco and DeSoto counties drove themselves to Tallahassee WITH NOT MUCH NOTICE at all.  -Amazing show of support from OK at this rally.  We were glad to have the opportunity to support fellow patriots.  -We met up with some great speakers... such as Patrick Henry himself (Harry McKay, but I swear: a spiritual experience), Sheriff Mack, Billie Vaughn (father of Seal Team 6 Aaron Vaughn, killed in Afghanistan, again: WOW! What a strong message Pres.Obama REALLY doesn't want America to hear!), Pastor Chris Hall (great speech), Mike Austell (FL O.K. Pres. -patriotism personified), Karen Schoen (what a great non-"PC" firecracker!) and there were many others that made it a treat to listen to also.  I hope our reps got the message, but we'll stay on them regardless.  A lot of us met up afterwards at Jalisco's for good mexican food and beer. -Good times!!  Then everyone had to get back on the road.  If you can get to these events (including these great after-rally dinners), DO IT!! It's the fuel we use to keep going and it lasts a good, long while. We look forward to meeting each other (and new faces) each and every time.  -Good people and great times!! -Ivan, an oath keeper   PS. Special thanks to Ray & Harry

Success is measured in many ways. Our objective was to “keep the ball in play and moving forward”.  And we certainly did!  Due to global warming (or NOT) and the resulting cold weather, the Capitol Authorities moved our event inside. This was hugely appreciated by all. We had over 150 attendees who were strongly committed to protecting our 2nd Amendment in every way possible, including State Sovereignty.  The 11 speakers included keynote speaker Sheriff Richard Mack. All the speakers (you can read more about each of them on the Florida Citizens’ Alliance website) were very well received. Each of them was a great messenger for liberty.  We will be posting individual videos on our website as soon we can get them edited. Multiple media folks also attended.  We know the Rally was reported in Naples on the 5 o’clock TV news and this morning in Hillsborough County on the radio. Hopefully it was reported in your area as well. The only two downsides were that Senator Greg Evers just didn’t show (and didn’t offer a reason) and that Governor Scott was unable to talk to us briefly when we stopped by his office. We were not able to schedule an official meeting ahead of this event, but we did alert his staff and hoped he would take 5 minutes to affirm his personal commitment to the Second Amendment and State Sovereignty under our Constitution. All in all, the Rally exceeded most of our expectations, but our work continues. Rep. Dane Eagle has committed to file the 2nd Amendment Preservation (2AP) bill in the House, consistent with the content provided to him in September. Once done, we will need Senator Evers to honor his commitment to file it in the Senate, or find a Senator who will champion it. Go to our website and urge them to file 2AP now! In your local counties/districts (once the bill is filed), we will be asking you to: Encourage your local legislators to co-sponsor the bill Meet with your sheriff to ask the simple question “Are you ready to stand for Liberty?” We will also be asking you to reach out to key legislative Committee Members and Chairs to support this bill.  Lastly, we will need strong attendance at the key committee hearings as they are scheduled. We’ll continue to provide you with updates and contact tools on the Florida Citizens’ Alliance website.  Please forward this email to anyone you know who might be willing to stand with us in support of this effort.  Encourage them to subscribe to our mailing list right there on the website’s home page. Thank you for your support!
