Maryland TRT FReeper volunteers helped secure pro-RKBA Ehrlich/Steele(R) victory! (PHOTO thread)

Maryland TRT's 11/5/2002 after action report ^ | November 6, 2002 | Hail Caesar

[Hail Caesar]

Maryland TRT members were on the frontlines, in the cold, pouring rain, until the jublilant end!

Some of the many Maryland Tyranny Response (TRT) patriots and FReepers celebrate with other grassroots campaign volunteers at the Ehrlich/Steele for Governor victory celebration in Gaithersburg, Maryland, right after the polls closed Tuesday night.

Maryland TRT members worked 13 hour shifts at key swing voter polling places for the Ehrlich/Steele (R) gubernatorial campaign in Montgomery County, Maryland on November 5, 2002. The evening rush hour shifts were worked outside during the cold, pouring rainstorm that hit this area last night. This explains the bedraggled appearances of our cold, tired patriots featured in the pictures below. Many Maryland TRT members were too cold and exhausted to attend the victory celebrations after working the polls thirteen hours straight.

Our TRT voluteers continued our highly visible and aggressive pro-RKBA support of "pro-gun" candidates despite the commonly held notion that gunowner rights is not a winning issue for politicians in this county. Well, the TRT proved the pundits wrong today by playing a pivotal role in securing enough pro-RKBA votes to keep the local Kennedy Townsend/Larson (D) voting percentage relatively low enough to insure an Ehrlich/Steele victory statewide. We kept the anti-gun turnout as depressed as possible while staying "on message" throughout this election campaign.

By aggressively pushing a pro-gun, pro-RKBA, pro-freedom agenda here in Maryland since 1999, the non-partisan TRT was the ONLY patriot group to consistently, continuously and openly oppose the anti-freedom agendas of the anti-gun Brady Campaign, "Marylanders Against Handgun Abuse," and the "Million Mom March" organizations. The TRT pressed on, even despite opposition and lack of support from Maryland's traditional gun lobby (NRA, etc.); this at a time when most of Maryland's politicians were also ducking and hiding from publicly debating gunowner rights issues.

The TRT is Maryland's best known pro-RKBA group that OPENLY continued it's pro-freedom, volunteer public service actitivities in Montgomery County during the time that just about everyone else was cowering from the recent "sniper attacks" terrifying the tri-state, Washington DC area.

MWLWN LABE!

[Hail Caesar]

Our battle cry heard throughout Maryland yesterday...

FREEEEEDOMMMMMM!!!

[DarthRaven]

AAAHHH!!! That's uglier & scarier than James Carvelle!

[DarthRaven]

"TRT Rules! Thanks for breaking the Kennedy Curse, one down and a bunch to go!"

Correction. That's TWO down (Mark Shriver & KKT) and the rest of the "Kennedy Klan" to go.

[LiberalBuster]

BUMP!!!!!!!!!

It's too bad we wound up with Van Hollen in the end, but Morella always voted with the left anyways. We now have a wolf in wolf's clothing.

Morella is no great loss. Next time, we can run an actual conservative.

The problem with Morella's loss is that every two years the Dimocrats spent millions of dollars trying to knock her out. Now that money will be free to go after Republicans elsewhere. We did not do our job in MD, by allowing the Dimocrats to go +2 in our Congressional Delegation.

"We did not do our job in MD, by allowing the Dimocrats to go +2 in our Congressional Delegation."

Wrong! Just who is the "We" you're referring to anyway?

THIS "we", the Maryland TRT and certain FReepers, VOLUNTARILY did OUR "job" and got Bobby and Michael, as well as other pro-gun candidates elected. Both the TRT and Maryland FReepers are neither political action committees nor shills for the Republican Party. However, both the TRT and Maryland FReepers tend to support CONSERVATIVE candidates and values most representative of the majority of values esposed here on Free Republic.

Morella, certain other Republicans, and even some gunowners, openly criticized and/or covertly tried to undermine the TRT's leadership and Maryland FReepers. These attacks on the TRT backfired on those particular Republicans and alienated enough of the GOP's conservative base voters to the advantage their DemocRAT opponents.

Obviously, the "control of Congress" argument to support certain RINOs didn't hold up here in Maryland either.

TRT rules!

P.S. The Ehrlich/Steele campaign's leadership wisely chose NOT to "diss" the TRT. :-)

[Hail Caesar]

Even during the time the infamous "sniper" was still at large, after having just killed five local citizens earlier that week, the Maryland TRT, voluntarily and publicly performed community service up and down a major Montgomery County road on 10/5/2002!



Members of the TRT, including children, pose next to a pile of roadside trash just collected for pickup, as part of the TRT's contribution to the local government's "ADOPT A ROAD" program. The TRT has actually "adopted" a part of a major road linking the local Bethesda and Potomac regions to each other. Anti-gun, limosine liberal trash tend to dump their "trash" on this road. Therefore, the TRT relishes the occasional opportunity to pick up and throw out "liberal trash" every once in a while. ;-)

You have anyone in mind?

Howdy drZ, I'm looking for the artist who created the M-16 Gadsen, if it's you I'd like to use it as cover art on my RKBA novel with permission. I'll freepmail you a link to the promotional website now under construction, where the first 1/3 of the book is posted under excerpts to see if it's your style.
