I should have been a little more expansive in my response to you. ROAR is new, just getting started after many months of research and hard work to put together a plan that will work. As Jim stated, he and I met at a VetCorps board meeting. He liked what we’re doing and volunteered to post the basic premise, which he did last week. I asked him if he would also post this and he graciously agreed. Being new as we are and needing financial assistance to get it going, it’s understandable how people would be skeptical. What you have seen here will also be posted on the webpage and this posting had two purposes (1) see how people would react to it and (2) hopefully generate some financial support. And, yes, I had not been a part of Free Republic until last week. FYI, the plan to repeal is so solid that one established organization tried to talk us into joining with them, but they have some things on their web page that would be a poison pill with the State Legislatures, who are the ones who will be doing the heavy lifting in the effort. So, bottom line, we are in the position of trying to raise some money when we have no track record and people do not know who we are. It ain’t easy. Sterling H. Saunders is my real name. Also, I have to ask. If you see something you like, why is it necessary that the people involved with it be “well known.” In fact, we’re doing our best to keep the “well known” people out of it simply because every one of them are carrying political baggage of some kind that could be a poison pill for us, because the only way it is going to work is to keep it squeaky clean non-partisan. I hope this answered some of your questions.

Thank you for your kind and informative response, Mr. Saunders. I don’t know why anyone would feel that I was an “idiot” for wanting to know more about ROAR and yourself. One can hardly decide to support such a group and their efforts if one does not know anything about it. :)
