    Letitia James and Fraud

    Letitia James ran for and won the office of New York Attorney General (AG) on a platform of sticking it to Donald Trump.  Fulfilling her campaign promise, AG James sued Donald Trump in 2023, accusing him and his family business of engaging in financial fraud to secure favorable loan terms and insurance terms. She claimed Trump did this by inflating the value of his real estate assets. James won a judge’s crazy ruling against Trump for $455 million.  (It’s widely expected to be reversed on appeal.)

    But was Letitia James the one who committed real estate fraud to obtain better loan terms?

    PJ Media and FOX News reports

    As early as July 17, 2023, James had registered a campaign committee-James for NY 2026 – Attorney General (ID 308810) - and filed campaign finance disclosures.  This demonstrates her clear intention to seek re-election as the AG.

    On August 17, 2023, one month later, James signed a Power of Attorney to be able to complete a real estate purchase in Norfolk Virginia.  The power of attorney that James signed said, “I hereby declare that I intend to occupy this property as my principal residence.”

    On August 30, 2023, the transaction was completed.  The Virginia property at 604 Sterling Street was purchased for $240,000 with a $219,780 mortgage. Per PJ Media, the mortgage documents require James to make the property her principal residence within 60 days (by approximately October 30, 2023) and maintain it for at least one year.

    On October 2nd, 2023, James’ suit against Trump for fraud started.

    On July 17th, James clearly states she will be running for reelection as AG but on August 17th she clearly states Virginia will be her principal residence.  New York’s Public Officers Law § 30(1)(d) mandates that an office becomes vacant when the officeholder ceases “to be an inhabitant of the state.”

    If, in fact, the Virginia property became her principal residence, then she had legally abandoned her position as New York Attorney General. Was she then ineligible to prosecute Trump?  Has she not been the NY AG for the past year and a half?

    If she did not take up the Virginia property as her principal residence, then she lied on the Power of Attorney.  This could be important since mortgage rates are lower on primary homes than on secondary or investment properties. A case can be made that she committed fraud to gain more favorable real estate loan rates — pretty much the crime of which she accused Trump!

    James may also have tripped federal wire fraud charges with this maneuver. These can carry a fine of up to $1 million and/or 30 years in prison.  Those charges would be brought against Letitia James by President Trump’s Department of Justice.  (Don’t stop laughing!)

    It doesn’t stop there.

    Both  The Gateway Pundit and FOX News report:

    In 2001, Letitia James purchased a four-story multi-family apartment building with five (5) apartments in Brooklyn for $550,000. The Certificate of Occupancy, dated January 26, 2001, says the property is legally classified as a five (5) family dwelling.

    In 2005, James refinanced the building with an adjustable loan that started at an interest rate of 7.2% with a ceiling of 10.2%. She declared the building was a four (4) family unit.  Properties with four or fewer units qualify for more favorable “residential” interest rates, while those with five or more are classified as “commercial” properties—often subject to higher rates.

    IN 2011, James sought relief from high interest rates by applying under the Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP) under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). HAMP had strict eligibility requirements. According to its official Making Home Affordable Program Handbook, “Eligibility is limited to owner-occupied properties with no more than four (4) units.” James listed her property type as: DWELLING ONLY – 4 FAMILY (apartments)

    James got the HAMP loan at an interest rate of just 2.7% (down from an estimated 10.2%.) Saving about $44,000 per year.

    HAMP warned: “False statements may be punishable by fines, imprisonment, or both under federal law.”  Mortgage fraud under federal law under the jurisdiction of the Department of the Treasury.  Hat’s President Trump’s Department of Treasury.  (Don’t stop laughing yet.)

    The Gateway Pundit and FOX News report more.

    In the Spring of 1983, Letitia James and her father jointly purchased a home at 114-04 Inwood Street in Queens, New York.  (For Letitia to live in?)  The deed for the property, executed on the same day says the property is being purchased by “ROBERT JAMES AND LETITIA JAMES, his daughter.”

    According to New York City Department of Finance records, on May 20, 1983, Letitia James and her father, Robert James, took out a real estate loan from Kadilac Funding Ltd. for $30,300 as “husband and wife.” 

    When the James “couple’s” loan was assigned by Kadilac Funding Ltd to The Richard Grill Company and recorded on June 27, 1983, Letitia and her father, Robert James, are once again listed as “husband and wife.”

    When they sold the property on May 4, 2000, the document listed the sellers as “ROBERT JAMES AND LETITIA JAMES, HIS WIFE.”

    It is guessed that at the age of 24, Letitia James may have had trouble qualifying for a home loan as a single woman with little or no income. She had graduated from CUNY’s Lehman College in 1981 and she would not begin law school at Howard University in Washington, DC, until the fall of 1984 and she was living with her parents. 

    Does this qualify as fraud?

    Will the ‘legacy media’ cover these before they are forced to do it?

    In today’s world it is hard to know what is true and false.  The above seems to be well documented and was publicized on FOX News.  We shall see…

    This email went out in January but it is important enough to do a reminder.

    Concealed Carry Recertification

    Prior to 2013, pistol permits were good for a lifetime and required no recertification. 

    In 2013, the NY SAFE Act required pistol permit holders to recertify every five years. This began in January of 2017. Those that certified in 2017 had to recertify five years later, in 2022.

    But in late summer 2022, the state tweaked the rules for those who hold a concealed carry permit and they must recertify every three years, not the five that continues to pertain to other permit holders.

    So, for those concealed carry permit holders that recertified in 2022 and thought they had five years, guess what?  You will need to recertify this year - 2025

    Prior to 2013, lifetime pistol permitting had been typically handled through the county clerks’ offices.  But the SAFE Act granted control of the new pistol permit renewals to the New York State Police.  During the renewal process, handgun owners affirm their basic personal information and that they still own the guns appearing on their permit.

    To handle this process an online system was created.

    If you want to check your recertification status:

    Go to  NYS Pistol Permit Recertification

    Click on Check Recertification Status

    You will need to know:

     your last name,

    date of birth,

    drivers license number,

    last four digits of your social security number

    and that you are not a robot

    Click on Check Recertification Status

    Your recertification status should then appear.

    Laugh or Cry

    New Jersey Senator Cory Booker has probably never met a gun control effort he did not like.  Gun control has been a key issue throughout his political career.

    He supports stricter gun control measures such as:

    Universal background checks

    A ban on assault weapons

    Requiring a federal gun license,

    Limiting handgun purchases to one per month

    A national gun buyback program,

    Kevin A. Batts, special assistant for Senator Booker was arrested on the grounds of the U.S. Capitol by Capitol Police after failing to go through security carrying a firearm without a proper license.

    _________________________________________________________________

    Millions of taxpayer dollars pour into Washington D.C.’s anti-violence initiatives.  

    Cure the Streets is a D C public safety program to reduce ‘gun violence.’  Cure the Streets hires people with criminal histories as ‘violence interrupters’ because they know first-hand about crime. The program operates in notoriously high-crime sections throughout D.C.  (That covers every place but the White House Rose Garden.)

    A Cure the Streets employee, Cotey Wynn, has a record which includes felony murder, first degree murder, possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine, and distribution of a controlled substance.  After becoming a D.C. violence interrupter, Wynn got arrested and charged with a fatal shooting in 2017.  At that time, Wynn was under the supervision of the Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia that believes preventative detention should only be a last resort for defendants, who should live in the least restrictive conditions while awaiting court.

    Wynn, was recently arrested and faces a first-degree murder charge related to a nightclub shooting.

    The D.C. Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement (ONSE) is the umbrella agency that focuses on reducing violence in D. C.

    Councilman Trayon White was expelled by the D.C. Council and is scheduled to be tried in 2026.  He took $156,000 in cash payments in exchange for using his position as a D.C. councilman to pressure government employees at ONSE and the Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services to extend several contracts. “The contracts at issue were valued at $5.2 million and were for two companies to provide Violence Intervention services in D.C.,” according to the Department of Justice.

    Former Deputy Director Dana McDaniel is another ONSE official nabbed in a bribery scheme.  She has pleaded guilty to accepting at least $10,000 in exchange for using her position to award contracts and grants to businesses owned by a Maryland-based associate.  She faces 15 years in prison.

    D.C, has these ‘reimagined’ efforts at bringing down crime and some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation.  Too bad it’s the crooks running the programs.  Maybe guns aren’t the problem.

    _________________________________________________________________

    NY Assembly bill A3662 was described by Nassau County District Attorney Anne Donnelly as, “It is the most ridiculous thing I have seen in my 36 years in law enforcement.

    The bill would ban cops in the state from stopping and searching drivers over a slew of low-level violations — including the one that ended up nabbing serial killer Joel Rifkin.

    (It’s a stretch to call it the “most ridiculous thing” since NYS has set a high bar in that regard.)

    Mao is probably – no is definitely- the worst mass murderer in history.  Even worse than Stalin, Hitler and the tyrants of old.  Mao is responsible for killing between 30 and 55 million people!

    Of course, the current edition of the Communist Chinese Party is emulating Mao in its treatment of the Uyghurs.  And don’t forget the Wuan coronavirus epidemic.

    Movement in the Right Direction

    Under 18 USC 922(g), persons prohibited from possessing a firearm include anyone who has been convicted of a crime punishable by more than a year of incarceration, regardless of the sentence that was actually imposed.  It did not matter whether or not the offense involved violence, and no matter how long ago it happened. The law also prohibits gun possession by anyone who has ever been subjected to involuntary psychiatric treatment, even if that person was never deemed a threat to others.

    That person who was legally banned from possessing a firearm had to seek relief from this ban / disability by applying to the Department of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms. (ATF)

    However, “in the early 1990s, Congress became concerned about the number of resources that ATF was using to adjudicate requests to relieve individual Americans from disabilities on their ownership of firearms. (“The Committee believes that the approximately 40 man-years spent annually to investigate and act upon these investigations and applications would be better utilized to crack down on violent crime.”). Congressional reports also stated that judging whether applicants posed “a danger to public safety” was “a very difficult and subjective task,” id., and that “too many felons . . . whose gun ownership rights were restored went on to commit crimes with firearms.”*

    So, the agency you applied to for relief was officially banned from considering the application.  (Bureaucracy at its best!)

    Attorney General (AG) Pam Bondi’s Department of Justice recently introduced an interim final rule* that rescinds the delegation of that process to the ATF.

    The authority to handle this issue has not yet been transferred to another branch of the DOJ.  Bondi considers this a first step to give the AG a clean slate to work with instead of trying to work around the ATF’s bureaucratic procedures.  Which makes sense since we are dealing with an ATF bureaucracy that has been dedicated to abolishing the 2nd Amendment.   

    Erich Pratt, senior vice president of Gun Owners of America said of this: "The [Justice Department's] decision to finally withdraw ATF's authority in this matter is an encouraging sign that this administration is serious about protecting the Second Amendment for all Americans."

    The important thing is that we are seeing some tangible positive movement.

    Ulster County  by Frank Riess

    The anti gun left will use all means at their disposal to take away our 2A protected rights, including making the permit process bureaucratic, arbitrary and a whole lot more work than it should be.

    Frank Reiss just wrote a letter to U S Attorney General Pam Bondi about this and we reproduce it below with his permission and some minor corrections.       

    Attorney General Bondi

    US Department of Justice

    DOJ Investigation into California Gun Law Patterns and Practices Should be Expanded

     Honorable Attorney General Bondi,

    The lawabiding gun owners of Ulster County, NY need your help. We are aware of your recent action in Los Angeles County and need the same assistance. The Ulster County Family Court is acting in a way that directly opposes the Constitution of the United States and the laws of New York State. Their actions include but are not limited to:

    · Pistol permits routinely take more than a year to obtain

    · A judge has to sign an “amendment” to a pistol permit for a permit holder to acquire a new handgun

    · Amendments have been routinely taking several months

    · Permit holders have been summoned to a court room to testify as to why they need certain or additional firearms

    · Permit holders have been told that they cannot purchase additional handguns until they complete more training

    · Outright denying amendments for the purchase of certain LEGAL handguns

    · HUNDREDS of permit holders have had permits revoked for missing a confusing and unclear recertification process that must be done via the internet

    · Permit applicants are quizzed on the law until they get a question wrong and are then denied

    · Judges seem to have taken pleasure in humiliating applicants and permit holders in their court rooms

    · A judge is currently refusing to renew my NYS Firearm Dealers License over an issue she has with my renewal application. It is the exact application I have used three times. I had to hire an attorney to continue operations so I can feed my family.

    My case is still pending.

    The actions and missteps being taken by “acting supreme” court judges are harassment and obstruction of government administration. While not new, these antigun actions have increased exponentially starting with the Bruen decision and have now reached a fever pitch with the second election of President Trump. In the past, letters and calls to supervisory judges in Albany fell on deaf ears. I pray that you might have more influence.

    Sincerely and Grateful,
    Frank Riess

    A1898

    Proposed Assembly Bill A1898 prohibits using toxic ammunition in the taking of wildlife.  It specifically says: Wildlife shall not be taken with the use of any toxic ammunition, including lead ammunition. Wildlife shall be taken using only any federally approved nontoxic ammunition.   (Emphasis added) 

    It was cosponsored by Assemblywomen Linda Rosenthal (D-NY City), Dana Levenberg (D-Ossining), Anna Kelles (D-Ithaca) and Assemblyman Jonathan Jacobson (D-Newburg).  Three down staters and one from Ithaca!

    Dieter Kraemer researched some background information and suggests sending a letter to the cosponsors and the Assembly Environmental Conservation Committee.  Here are some important facts:

    Assemblywoman Rosenthal references the Humane Society of the United States, (HSUS).*  HUSIS has said, “…scientists consider the use of lead ammunition to be the greatest unregulated source of lead knowingly released into the environment in the United States...It incidentally kills millions of wild animals a year.”  (Yes, lead bullets do kill millions of wild animals.  Hunters will confirm that is the bullet’s purpose.) 

    Activist Facts describes HSUS as: “…a radical animal rights group that inaccurately portrays itself as a mainstream animal care organization. The words “humane society” may appear on its letterhead, but HSUS is not affiliated with your local animal shelter.” 

    HSUS includes a huge web of organizations, affiliates and subsidiaries. 

    The American Institute of Philanthropy gives HSUS a “D” rating.  

    David Wills the former vice president of HSUS was sentenced to life in prison for a conviction of child sex abuse charges. He also embezzled money from the organization.**

    Paul Irwin (HSUS president from 1996 to 2004) founded the Humane Society of Canada (HSC) while claiming to live in Canada but he actually lived in Maryland.  Erwin was reimbursed $85,000 by HSUS for the purchase of a vacation home by the organization.***

    HSUS executive John Hoyt lived rent free in a house that the organization purchased for him.****

    When Wayne Pacelle became the CEO HSUS, he took HSUS in a radical political direction. In 1991, Pacelle told the Associated Press: “[I]f we could shut down all sport hunting in a moment, we would.” Pacelle would later resign over sexual harassment allegations.*****

    Humane Society of the United States has now changed its name to Humane World for Animals.

    Does this sound like an organization that publishes reliable information?

    Rosenthal also states that lead bullets are made from recycled car batteries. Technically possible but complicated and dangerous.  Does she have any evidence this is done by any manufacturer?  Importantly, does that make them more dangerous, more toxic?

    Iowa State University conducted a study on wild Bald Eagles.****** Their conclusion is that very few are suffering from any kind of lead poisoning.  We now have more eagles in the US than ever before.

    The use of lead-free ammunition in NY state should be on a voluntary basis, it should not be mandated by state law.

    SCOPE Activities in March 2025

        SCOPE Chapter Visits. SCOPE officials recently visited the Schoharie and Seneca County Chapters of SCOPE, engaging in discussions about the organization's key priorities. The five main priorities highlighted were: synchronizing efforts with other 2A organizations in New York State, expanding membership both individually and within active chapters, educating politicians and the public about firearms legislation in New York, developing and promoting new firearms legislation, and supporting high school shooting sports through donations. The President also shared SCOPE’s strategic vision for 2025-2026, which includes developing a robust social media plan, creating a merchandise strategy, and certifying SCOPE range instructors. Additionally, the SCOPE Board of Directors approved of a significant donation to Gun Owners of America New York (GOA-NY) to support their lawsuit against the controversial ammunition background check law; and to the Firearms Policy Coalition lawsuit against the ban of body armor in New York State; reinforcing SCOPE's commitment to defending Second Amendment rights.

        SCOPE’s Top Ten Most Egregious Firearms Legislation. With the start of a new two-year legislative period, new bill numbers were assigned to both existing and new firearms legislation. Currently, the New York State legislature is considering sixty-nine firearms bills that could potentially become law. In response to the influx of these sixty-nine bills, SCOPE (Shooter's Committee on Political Education) decided to form a committee tasked with analyzing and identifying the Top Ten Most Egregious Firearms Legislation in New York State. After weeks of analysis and deliberation, SCOPE narrowed the list down to their Top Ten Most Egregious Firearms Legislation. The bills include Assembly Bill A00929, A02229/S03562, S00418/A01774, S00658/A04085, A00346, S05813, A03376, A01210/S00362, S02158/A03021, and S01358. These bills are available for review on the New York State Assembly website and the document detailing SCOPE's analysis has been posted on the SCOPENY2A.org website, as well as shared with other 2A organizations throughout the state to ensure their members’ situational awareness. SCOPE officials are making plans to brief the majority and minority leaders in the New York State legislature, as well as senators and assemblypersons on SCOPE’s Top Ten Most Egregious Firearms Legislation.  

        Annual All Members Meeting. Coordination is underway for the Annual All Members meeting, set to take place on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at the VFW Post 6778 in Palmyra, New York, from 0945 to 1200. We are thrilled to welcome Bobby Ann Cox as our guest speaker. A dynamic speaker and civil rights attorney from New York State, Cox has a distinguished history of suing government entities and recently secured a historic victory against Governor Hochul in a landmark lawsuit. The meeting will also feature a presentation on SCOPE's progress over the past year, as well as the organization's plans for the 2025-2026 period. In addition, elections for At-Large directors will be determined. Lunch will be provided for all members, followed by an afternoon SCOPE board of directors meeting.

        Updated SCOPE By-Laws. The SCOPE by-laws were updated in the last year and the updated by-laws will be voted on at the board of directors meeting on Saturday, April 26, 2025.

       Increasing Active SCOPE Chapters. In March, SCOPE officials visited the Tioga County Sportsmen's Association with the goal of boosting membership and exploring the possibility of starting a SCOPE Chapter in Tioga County. The visit proved successful in attracting several new members to SCOPE, though there was no interest from attendees in taking on the responsibility of leading a new chapter in the area. Despite this, the visit was seen as a positive step in expanding the organization’s presence within the county. Additionally, several other counties without SCOPE chapters have recently shown interest in activating a chapter.

        SCOPE continues to protect and restore the Second Amendment. We need your help. Please join us by volunteering your time by joining a committee or writing an article for the Firing Line.  Before the end of April, the annual All Members meeting will occur.  I hope to see you there.

    Gun Rights Are Not a “Culture War” Issue -They Are a Civil Rights Imperative  by James D. Tresmond, Esq.

    In their endless quest to obfuscate, deflect, and trivialize, politicians and the media have taken to dismissing the right to keep and bear arms as just another front in the so-called “culture war.” This is a grotesque misrepresentation. To call the Second Amendment a “culture war” issue is to place it in the same category as petty political squabbles over pop stars, social media trends, and other frivolities that occupy the minds of our ruling class. Gun rights are not a “fad” to be debated alongside the latest manufactured outrage of the 24-hour news cycle; they are an unassailable pillar of individual liberty, as fundamental to a free society as the right to speak, to worship, or to seek redress against an oppressive state.

    A “culture war” is, at its core, a manufactured conflict designed to inflame passions and distract the public while preserving the status quo. These skirmishes are waged not over principles, but over headlines. The right to keep and bear arms, on the other hand, is not a matter of mere ideological preference. It is the hard-won recognition of an existential truth: that power unchecked by the armed citizen is power inevitably abused.

    The history of gun rights in America is not the history of suburban hobbyists or political slogans; it is the history of resistance against tyranny and a safeguard against systemic oppression. During Reconstruction, the disarmed freedmen of the South learned that their “rights” were nothing more than paper-thin promises when met with the iron fist of armed mobs and complicit state governments. Jim Crow laws went hand in hand with disarmament because those who seek to control and subjugate understand that an armed citizen is a citizen beyond their coercive grasp. The Second Amendment has long been the lifeline for those abandoned by the institutions meant to protect them.

    Fast forward to the present day, and the lesson remains the same. The smallest minority in the world is the individual, and no right is more fundamental to preserving the autonomy of the individual than the right to self-defense. Those who would trivialize this right - those who would condescendingly lump it in with the day’s political entertainment - are betraying the very notion of civil rights. It is both appalling and unsurprising that the same politicians who wrap themselves in the language of “justice” and “equity” fail to grasp the cruel irony of advocating for an unarmed populace. An unarmed citizen is a subject, not a sovereign. And history has been unrelenting in its demonstration that disarmed populations do not meet happy ends.

    This leads us to the so-called “gun rights champions” in the Republican Party - the same party that depends on gun owners every election cycle while treating them as disposable every legislative session. You know the people to whom I’m referring. They know who they are, too. The idea that Republicans can brush off the Second Amendment as a “secondary issue” and still expect gun owners to rally behind them is a delusion of the highest order. How often do we hear that it’s not the “right time” to push for pro-gun legislation? That we must “pick our battles”? That gun owners must be patient while courts slow-walk the most basic affirmations of our rights?

    Gun owners are watching. They have seen the betrayals, the half-hearted advocacy, and the gutless surrender to media pressure. And let me assure these cowardly, calculating politicians of one thing: You will not win elections without the gun vote. You will not rally your “base” while treating their rights as an afterthought. And when the time comes for the midterms, when you crawl back to the podiums and make your feigned overtures to the people you’ve spent years dismissing, do not feign surprise when your applause is drowned out by silence.

    A politician who treats the Second Amendment as a mere “culture war” talking point is a politician unworthy of office. A party that believes it can ignore gun owners and still win is a party that deserves to lose. And a media establishment that sneers at armed self-defense while enjoying the protection of armed security is a hypocrisy so glaring, it borders on parody.

    Gun rights are not a political spectacle. They are not a partisan gimmick. They are the last line between liberty and subjugation, between self-determination and state control. Those who fail to recognize this simple fact will be discarded by history just as surely as those who have sought to erase this right before them.

    Onward!

    Bobbie Anne Cox

    will be the
    guest speaker

    Bobbie Anne Cox

    Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox will be the speaker at our Members Meeting on April 26th. She has described Kathy Hochul as an elitist Governor…and her lawless Department of Health.

    Bobbie Anne is a 2023 Brownstone Institute Fellow and an attorney with 25 years of experience in the private sector. She passionately defends and preserves the Constitution against egregious government overreach, defending citizens against tyrannical acts of heavy-handed government.

    Are you familiar with the NYS Department of Health (DOH) “Isolation and Quarantine Procedures” regulation?  You should be.  It’s another attack on our liberties by Governor Kathy Hochul and her administration

    Here is what Attorney Bobbie Anne Cox had to say about it in the American Thinker: “Imagine a land where the government has the power to lock you up because the unelected bureaucrats in the Health Department think that you might, possibly have a communicable disease. They don’t have to prove you are sick. They don’t have to prove you are a health threat to others…and you must stay there for however long they want. No time limit.”

    “No chance to prove that you aren’t actually infected with the disease. No chance to confront your jailers, see their supposed evidence against you or challenge their quarantine order in a court of law before getting locked up. And they can use law enforcement to help them carry out their forced quarantine… “

    Sounds a lot like Red Flag laws (Extreme Risk Protection Orders) where your guns are taken away without “due process of Law.”  You know-that part of those pesky 5th and 14th Amendments that Kathy Hochul and the NY Legislature ignore, at will.

    Cox went to court and successfully got it struck down before it could become a permanent regulation; it does not exist today.

    However, the Appeals Court reversed the decision and dismissed the case because the plaintiffs did not have standing…Some of the plaintiffs were NYS legislators and they didn’t have standing!  The DOH is now free to reissue its dystopian regulation.

    There is nothing stopping the tyranny of the NYS Executive Branch and its unconstitutional DOH, now. 

    Cox also worked with Lee Zeldin to prevent the unconstitutional gerrymandering of the Congressional lines in New York State by the Democrats.  Cox formed Stop NY Corruption and with help from other members of NY’s Congressional delegation were successful in preventing that shameful political ploy to illegally retake the House of Representatives. 

    Cox again teamed up again with Congressman Zeldin and together with her organization, Vote NO on Prop One Committee, fought against the radical Dems that run NYS with their dishonest campaign to pass Prop 1.

    Bobbie Anne Cox has been a David versus Goliath fighter for our rights against the far-left assault on those rights, in New York State.  The Members Meeting will give you a chance to hear her stories, ask questions and develop a strategy to protect all our rights – especially our 2nd Amendment protected rights.                                                  _________________________________________________
