What does being a member of McHenry County Right to Carry Association mean to you? Did you join just to have yet another card take up real estate in your wallet? How about the big picture. Are you deeply concerned about the future of our communities, state and nation? We sure are, but here is the deal. Talking about a problem over and over does not repair it. Sometimes and more often than not it makes the problem worse.  We need a concerted, motivated effort from concerned, law abiding citizens to sway this fight. I know you are tired, and so am I. We mustn't let up.

If for a second you think the anti gun movement will let up, you are dead wrong. These are highly intelligent and deeply motivated people, who's life mission is to snuff out our precious freedoms, defined by our Bill of Rights.

LISTEN UP! There is no A-Team that is going to sweep in and save the rights you hold dear. WE THE PEOPLE  are the last bastion of defense for the protection of our liberties. A restoration of our American ideals is not so far out of reach. We must strive to do more, to be better. This is done through educating ourselves and stepping outside of our comfort zone.

It is not hard to expect success instead of settling for yet another defeat by the Illinois machine. Just because it has been bad for a long time here in Illinois does not give us the right to shrink from this fight. On the contrary, the mere thought of all the years our rights have been trodden upon by Springfield ought to fan the flames inside us.

When corruption and deceit are the traits of our leaders, we must display honor. When fear and lies permeate the newspapers, airways and halls of our capital, we must have courage and hope.
Knowledge is paramount to success. We are here to help bring knowledge and truth to the citizens of our communities.
Get involved. Show up tomorrow for our training night. Bring a friend.

The immortal Winston Churchill said,
“All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.”

See you tomorrow night,
Mickey Schuch
President,
McHenry County Right To Carry Association
