March, 2011

This March marks the beginning of my sixth and
final year as your State Director.  I look over these
years with pride. We have grown and become a
stronger and more effective organization. We have a terrific board that is doing an excellent job. We have new charters that have come on board and are full of enthusiasm. Our Safety program is successful and growing. Our finances are growing. The attitude of our members has never been better.

We are looking into buying land, and we are putting on a state wide poker run. We have never had a better atmosphere for our bills in the Nashville legislature.

The past elections show that people want their personal freedoms protected. They do not want the government to protect them from themselves or tell them what to do, this is our philosophy. We believe in personal responsibility and the right to be left alone by the government.

While we are doing well we can do better. We need to better communicate to the public that we are a Freedom rights organization, that also promotes safety and is a responsibility member of the community.

If we continue to work hard and follow the path we are on CMT/ABATE will grow and succeed in our goals.
