The web site for the Second Amendment Sisters is up for bid. Old timers here will remember this was an organization that spun off FreeRepublic in 1999. Someone here may want to grab that.
Daoism, whoever he/she/zi is, probably has an auto-bid function going on, so if people keep bidding, it can easily get up to a few hundred dollars. Keep an eye on the bid ending time, it looks as if it will end just before 3:00 PM Eastern, 2:00 PM Central, and 12:00 Noon Pacific.
Didn’t realize the Second Amendment Sisters had dropped off the map. Sad.
We organized to oppose the anti 2nd Amendment Million Mom March on Washington and around the Country. The Moms didn’t see it coming. At rally after rally, it was amusing to see their faces when SAS showed in mass.
InTampa/St. Pete, the Mons staged a march across the Gandy fishing bridge from Tampa to St. Pete. When the Moms topped the hump in the middle, they saw the SAS waiting for them on the shore. The SAS lit up with car horns and jeers. They couldn’t believe their eyes. The air just blew out of their baloon. There were lots of women that wanted to keep their guns??
The SAS rally in D.C. was huge. Speakers and supportes from all over the Country.
Five women, starting on the FreeRepublic, did that. What an accomplishment. It was an honor to work with them.
Thank you for standing in the gap.
Did the SAS kind of taper off after the Million Mom March movement petered out, or is it still an entity?
The motivation for forming SAS was to respond to the Million Mom March. When that was over, SAS’s main purpose expired. The National organization continued for a long time but no longer exist but, As best I know, some state chapters are still active. That’s amazing also considering twenty years.
Remembering those time made me think about Alimo-Girl, another Freeper activist from back then. Looks like we are loosing her? Her web page has been ‘repurposed’. That’s a huge lose to historical data. She had the ‘goods’ on the Clinton crime cartel. I’m gonna miss that. Wish I had some way to archive it.
Went there but only ‘THE RECOUNT’ archive link worked. The other archive links on Wayback Machine posted the message ‘This page is available on the Web’.
So! What next?
The Alimo-Girl archive is big and valuable. She did a huge amount of work on that.
What happened to her?
I still have the old site archived on an old hard drive.
Hellos Sister. It’s been a while. Were you there in 1999?

Hey, I remember that org!
They put together the AIMM-Armed Informed Mothers March. I still have my button from that march. It was awesome to see so many supporters.
It’s a good feeling to see SAS members still Active on FreeRepublic. Is that staying power or Stubborn?
I need a cap that says ‘WE AIN’T DEAD YET’!
I came on board in 2000. Until late 1999 I was with the NRA.
Glad to meet you. They can’t keep us down.
Like their worst nightmare, We’ll just keep showing up when they least expect.
Was this freeper basil’s website?
Yes, Basil was the President of Second Amendment Sisters. I miss her greatly!! She and I talked multiple times daily for over 10 years while working for SAS... :(
I remember Basil fondly as well.
Some of them still post here
