Did You Know?

It takes a substantial amount of money to organize an event like Second Amendment March. Our fundraising advisors have set specific milestones that we need to meet in order to make the march happen. Right now we are VERY short of that goal and need your help! If you can help, please click on the Contribute Now button above to donate via our secured donation page. Thank you!
Our Mission

The mission of the Second Amendment March is to galvanize the courage and resolve of Americans; to petition our elected officials against establishing anti-gun legislation; and to remind America that the Second Amendment is necessary to maintain our right to self defense.
It is the one right that protects
all others.
We will accomplish our mission by a centralized, peaceful march in Washington DC, the United States Capitol, supported by satellite marches to State Capitols and other cities all across America.


What's New

An Update from the Founder's Desk...

Things are going well with the Second Amendment March. We now have 29 State Coordinators and website traffic is holding steady at 45,000 unique visitors per week. Donations were up slightly last month but still painfully short of what we'll need to pull this event off. I hate to beg, but even five dollars per person would be a great help in organizing efforts.

Dennis Sanford, our Field Representative, will be sending out the official letters to the gun industry next week asking for monetary and logistical support. We're hoping that during these times of record firearm and ammo sales that the gun industry will help us out. If you have any leads on corporations or businesses (large or small) who would like to support the march, please email me at skip@secondamendmentmarch.com with all the details and I'll follow up.

Also, I've recently mailed letters to Chris Cox and Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association officially asking for their support. They have a lot of resources at their command and it would be great to get their help. Already, many NRA members are helping us out, but it is NRA headquarters who controls the assets we need to help publicize the march. Feel free to call or write the NRA asking that they support the Second Amendment March in some capacity. Gun Owners of America has already pledged their support to the Second Amendment March. You can tell Larry Pratt thank you by going to Gun Owners of America.

A new and improved Second Amendment March website will be up and running in a few weeks. More details will follow in next week's newsletter.

Your Board of Directors meets every Wednesday night to discuss and organize the march. Also, your State Coordinators meet every other Thursday to share plans and concerns as they organize on a state level.

Lately we've been getting a lot of help from nine-twelvers and TEA party folks. This is great because they are highly motivated and organized and they've already done a successful march on DC. We are learning from them everyday, and we appreciate their help.

I would like to do more radio interviews to publicize the march, so please have your local radio station contact me at 269-838-5586 to set it up. No radio station is too large or too small.

We've been working on a new online store and that should be up and running in two weeks. Stay tuned for details in next week's newlsetter.

If any of you have concerns, comments, or suggestions or wish to volunteer to help promote the march, please email me at skip@secondamendmentmarch.com and we can talk. Many people feel unqualified to lead or to organize, but it's not that tough. I can relate because I don't feel qualified to lead either, but someone has to do it. Why not you? Contact me if you are willing to help.

God bless and thanks for your support.

Founder, Second Amendment March

New U.S. Citizen!

The Board and Coordinators of the Second Amendment March would like to issue a heartfelt congratulations to Virginia State Coordinator Leyla Myers.

On November 18, Leyla passed her citizenship test with flying colors and will attend her citizenship ceremony on December 18.

The Homeland Security building where the test was administered is a victim disarmament zone, so Leyla wore her "Guns Save Lives" button to the test! We need more citizens like her!

Beyond the Ordinary Webcast

The County Sheriff: America's Last Hope

Sheriff Mack's newest book covers decades of research to prove once and for all that the sheriffs in this country are indeed the ultimate law authority in their respective jurisdictions. The sheriff absolutely has the power and responsiblity to defend his citizens against all enemies, including those from our own Federal Government. History, case law, common law and common sense all show clear evidence that the sheriff is the people's protector in all issues of injustice and is responsible for keeping the peace in all matters. He is the last line of defense for his constituents; he is America's last hope to regain our forgotten freedom. This short but powerful book is a must read for all citizens, sheriffs, and government officials that we may all work to return America to the constitutional republic she was meant to be. Amazing as it might be, the sheriff can make this happen!



Lessons from Armed America

True stories of men and women who defended themselves and their families!
Written by Kathy Jackson and Mark Walters

Don't rely on others to protect yourself and your loved ones. "Lessons from Armed America" is the essential primer for self defense. Kathy and Mark are the experts that answer all your questions on stalking, real-life firefights, prevention and awareness, as well as carjacking and use of nonlethal force. They tell it like it is with candor and compassion, speaking through both experience and well-thought-out-research. If you're serious about protecting your family, this is the one book you MUST read!
