    Tuesday, March 16, 2010
    Dear fellow gunner,

    Wow!
    Front Sight's April 19th "Don't Tread on Me" campaign is already off the ground and soaring.
    I spent all day and half the night responding to those who have already printed their five, 8.5" x 11" flags, addressed envelopes to President Obama, their Federal Representatives and Senators and are waiting to drop them in the mail on April 19th to flood Washington, DC.
    Here are some of the responses I have already received from people who understand our 275,000 subscribers, using the power of the Internet, can multiple geometrically into tens of millions of patriots sending a strong, clear message of discontent to those elected officials who dare to trample the Constitution...
    Dr. Piazza,
    Just to let you know my envelopes are ready to go. Great idea!!!! Also, I've forwarded your e-mail to 312 other people! Thanks. Bill M.

    Here's one from a subscriber who forwarded this e-mail to over 40 people on his list with this message:
    "...It does not matter what your party affiliation is or whether or not you are a gun owner. If you are tired of the way things are going in our nation's capital, four envelopes, four sheets of paper and four stamps, will send a wake up call to Washington. I don't know about you, but I am tired of what I am seeing and will be sending my four envelopes on April 19. The cost of doing this is around $2.00, but the cost of not doing this is losing more of your rights every day! Ted"


    Dear Dr. Piazza,
    Just letting you know I have sent your e-mail to fourteen (14) of my friends that feel the same way. Great idea!
    Fritz H.


    Dr. Ignatius Piazza,
    GOOD MOVE!!!! I sent the blog on to my American Patriots distribution list. Too many people complain but are not willing to engage, so it is up to guys like you and I to make changes in the greatest country in the world!!!!
    Keep up the good work and THANKS for making a difference. John C.


    Dr. Piazza,
    Your "Don't Tread on Me" flag idea is brilliant. I am the co-chair of the Upper Perkiomen Concerned Citizens Group, and I am also the co-chair of the 2nd Amendment committee thereof. Our next meeting is Wednesday night, and I am taking your idea to the meeting. I will make the color copies and pay for them myself. I have obtained the addresses of all our representatives, and along with the address that you provided for President Obama, I will provide these to our meeting attendees as well. Our area will respond to your call to action!
    Thanks not only for all of the information that you provide for gun owners, but for being a true American patriot.
    Respectfully,
    Michal H.


    Dr. Piazza,
    I enjoyed your Blog today and the "Don't Tread On Me". I am not only mailing that flag to my representatives, but also to Speaker of the House, both majority and minority leaders of both houses. And will e-mail them all. And as a last step, tape that flag to the rear window of all my vehicles and my front door! I will also be sending your e-mail to nationally syndicated talk radio personality, Glen Beck. Thanks. Gary H.
    Ignatius,
    Forwarded it to about 25 people and I am putting my return address on each one so they know where it comes from. Keep up the GREAT work! Alan

    I'm sure you get the picture from a few samples of the hundreds of similar e-mails I have received.
    We really can multiply our 275,000 subscribers into tens of millions and flood Washington, DC with a most relevant symbol of our discontent. All you need to do is follow the 3 very simple steps outlined below and be ready for the reward I will provide you on April 20th for doing so.
    See the e-mail below that is going viral across the Internet as we speak and GET ON BOARD TO DO YOUR PART TOO so your voice is heard and to receive your reward on April 20th.
    Here is the e-mail that kicked off Front Sight's April 19th "Don't Tread on Me" campaign...
    Monday, March 15, 2010
    When I started this blog, 100 Mondays ago, I didn't think it would grow so fast. We now have over 275,000 subscribers who read my posts and forward them on to their family and friends.
    Over 275,000 subscribers and growing is a number I want you to remember because collectively, with the power of the Internet, 275,000 subscribers can make history and in doing so influence a much needed and proper "change" in the direction our country is heading!
    I'm serious and not only am I going to prove it to you, I am going to make it so simple for you be a part of making history through influencing a much needed and proper change in the direction of our country, and I'm going to reward you greatly for doing so!
    Here is what I mean...
    As you know, there are a number of organizations that have conducted marches and events to send a clear message to our government that the Silent Majority in this country are more than unhappy with the direction America is heading.
    The discontent has no party lines. We are disillusioned with and distrustful of "politicians" in general and that includes Democrats and Republicans. Basically, we are damn tired of the Constitution and Bill of Rights being ignored, our freedoms trampled, and those we elect continuing to forget who they are supposed to serve... WE THE PEOPLE.
    As you are well aware the, Tea Party Movement is holding numerous rallies in cities across the country through April 15th. The Second Amendment March on Washington, DC is happening on April 19. These are great events that will attract a significant amount of people attending, but there is no way that the "Silent Majority" will be properly represented because we cannot ALL attend.
    But WE THE PEOPLE, the Silent Majority who are armed, understand our rights, and recognize that the current batch of elected servants in Washington, DC just don't "get it" can send a clear and concise warning to the government that will make our Founding Fathers smile from above and send a cold chill down the spines of those failing to "...preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."
    Here is how easy you can make history and influence a much needed and proper "change" in the direction of our country!
    Step 1. Print out FIVE COPIES of the most descriptive flag in American history, the symbol Benjamin Franklin felt was the most appropriate for the revolution when he wrote, "She never begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an emblem of magnanimity and true courage. ... she never wounds 'till she has generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of treading on her."
    Step 2. Fold one of the 8 1/2 x 11 inch flags and insert it into an envelope addressed the President of the United States. The President's address is:
    President Barack Obama
    The White House
    1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
    Washington, DC 20500​
    Fold another and insert it into an envelope addressed to your Federal Representative. Fold another two flags and address them to each of your Senators in Washington, DC.
    Place all four envelopes in the mail so they are postmarked MONDAY, APRIL 19th. Why April 19th? Because April 19th is the anniversary of the "Shot Heard Round the World." On that day in 1775, our forefathers stood their ground against British tyranny in the Battle of Old North Bridge at Concord, Massachusetts.
    Save the FIFTH FLAG for the reward I will give you after April 19th. That fifth flag will be worth thousands of dollars to you to show my thanks for your participation in sending a clear message to our government that the Silent Majority in this country will not tolerate the direction America is heading.
    Step 3. Forward this email to your family and friends, everyone on your e-mail lists, and place it on all the chat rooms you frequent. Make this April 19th postmark "Don't Tread on Me" mail campaign go viral throughout the Internet and OVERWHELM our elected officials in Washington, DC so they know, without a doubt, that the Silent Majority, who understand the Constitution -- whether Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or undeclared are NOT TO BE TREAD UPON!
    Remember I told you that I would prove to you that as one of the 275,000 subscribers to my blog, collectively, with the power of the Internet, you can make history and in doing so influence a much needed and proper "change" in the direction of our country!
    Well here is the proof...
    If you and my other subscribers follow all three steps and just ONE of the people you send this email to does the same, and just ONE of the people they send this email to does the same, and just ONE of the people they send this email to does the same, and so on... by April 19th, TENS OF MILLIONS of "Don't Tread on Me" letters will flood Washington, DC throughout the week of April 19th creating a thunderous "shot heard round the world" that the media and every elected official cannot ignore!
    All it takes to make YOUR shot heard round the world is to follow the 3 simple steps above.
    And remember to save the fifth flag you print out for the amazing reward I am going to give on April 20th to YOU and everyone who participates in the Monday, April 19th "Don't Tread on Me" postal mail campaign. Believe me when I say it is worth thousands of dollars to you and will dwarf everything I have done as the "Millionaire Patriot" to date!
    Follow the three simple steps above and get ready to fire your shot with your "Don't Tread on Me" postal mail drop on Monday, April 19th, 2010.
    Our Founding Fathers stood their ground against the greatest military machine of their time, sacrificing EVERYTHING to win our freedom. Let's show Washington, DC that the blood of our forefathers is still pumping through the arteries of the Silent Majority and we are rattling a warning... Don't Tread on US!
    Follow the 3 Simple Steps above TODAY and get ready to fire your shot with tens of millions of your fellow patriots through the Monday, April 19th "Don't Tread on Me" postal mail drop!
    Thanks for your patriotism.
    I post a different article on this blog each Monday so I look forward to your visit next week.
