 JP> I've been mulling a few thoughts over ever since I first
 JP> posted this. Let me run them by you, Lyle.
 JP> I'm a member of the Republican Liberty Caucus, the
 JP> organization of libertarians who have given up on third
 JP> party politics and are now working within the Republican
 JP> Party to turn it towards libertarian goals.
 JP> One of their principal methods is outreach to Young
 JP> Republicans & College Republicans.  They set up an
 JP> information table at all their conventions, pass out
 JP> literature, and generally push the freedom agenda.
 JP> We think this will be a fruitful strategy, long term.  Many
 JP> of these Young Republicans & College Republicans will
 JP> become party activists in the future.  Many will become
 JP> candidates and hold political office.
 JP> Maybe we need to organize a "Republican Second Ammendment
 JP> Society" of committed 2nd Ammendment people who are also
 JP> Republicans who will also attend these conventions and do
 JP> outreach to these people.
 JP> If we can win enoujgh of them over in the early stages,
 JP> it's a lot more likely that most of the people who seek
 JP> office will be pro-2nd.
 JP> On a related note, the NRA should create a special
 JP> newsletter or magazine for such people and make it
 JP> available FREE to ALL Young Republicans & College
 JP> Republicans.
 JP> Ernie, did you catch that?
Hmmmmm, education pops up its head once again.  Seems that education is the
key to just about all problems doesn't it?  :-)  'Course education without
=understanding= is another story altogether.
