This makes (count 'em) eight (8, ocho, huit, etc.) active federal cases that Comm2A is managing.
What you're seeing is the fruition of many years of hard work finally coming together. Five years ago we thought this would be easy and that cases would come together quickly. It didn't turn out quite that way, but Comm2A has more than hit its stride this year. To get here we had to get over a higher than anticipated learning curve, finally develop some name recognition, put together a network of interested and talented lawyers, etc., etc..... and of course raise money.
May has been a very good fund raising month for Comm2A. Whether it was the membership announcement (oh, and the challenge coins), or the new cases we've filed in the last few days, we've seen a nice expansion of our donor pool. A big thank you to everyone that's donated to Comm2A for the first time or who has decided to re-up.
However, that fact remains that the Comm2A donor base is an incredibly small percentage of the people who actively follow Comm2A. If you're a member - Thank You. If your membership comes from a monthly donation, Thank You very much. Our next and on-going challenge is to raise enough money to keep these eight cases going and to recruit enough members to demonstrate some 'muscle'. Apart from helping to fund Comm2A, the next best thing NES members can do to help Comm2A's agenda is to actively recruit new members. The NES community is a small sub-set of Massachusetts gun owners. But, it it a diverse, visible and well connect group of people. Let's use that to our advantage.
