Citadel Cadet helps organize facebook effort to support congressman

Citadel Senior Cadet Mitch Baroody has helped organize the effort to support Congressman Joe Wilson on the web. Less than 48 hours from when the page was created there were 1,100 members and over 100 wall posts commenting the Congressman’s efforts this past week on facebook. Baroody is being credited with helping to start the “Thank You Joe Wilson Movement” all over the country.

On the facebook page that Baroody has helped create members have been able to voice their opinions and appreciation for a congressman such as Joe Wilson from South Carolina.

“Dear Congressman Wilson: Thank you for expressing what millions of Americans feel about President Obama and his plan to bankrupt this nation by passing his Health Care Reform to socialize medicine. You are a good American and have already apologized to the President and he accepted it. Do not let Speaker Pelosi and her partisan cronies intimidate you into apologizing to the full House of Congress; one apology was enough. God bless you and your family and keep up the good work!!!” These were the words from a member of the group from Florida. There are another 128 comments just like this on the facebook page thanking Wilson for all he has done to fight the Democrats in Congress.

Many members have even made contributions to the Re-elect Wilson to Congress fund, and over 700K has been raised thus far for his campaign (there is no telling how much of that came from this past week)!  Another effort that has been started is the “I’m with Joe Wilson” t-shirts , and all profits raised go towards Joe Wilson’s re-election.

So if you are feeling supportive go join the facebook page, “Thank You Congressman Joe Wilson.”

President Obama – “You Lie”

SC Congressman Joe Wilson took to the national airwaves tonight during President Obama’s healthcare speach to a joint session of the Congress.

As if on queue, Congressman Joe Wilson let out a “YOU LIE”, immediately after President Obama stated that his plan did not allow for illegal immigrants to participate.

You tell us, after reading the section of the bill below, did Obama lie?

Dean Allen’s Machine Gun Social

Greenville – Republican Candidate for Adjutant General of South Carolina, Dean Allen, said today that his Machine gun Social fundraiser scheduled for September 26, 2009 is a go. The campaign will give away an AK-47 (semi-automatic) after the event. Because South Carolina law forbids the campaign from holding a raffle anyone who wants a free opportunity to receive the AK-47 is encouraged to visit Allen Arms Indoor Range at 1210 Poinsett Hwy in Greenville beginning Tuesday.

Dean Allen said, “This event is all about celebrating our Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. We are celebrating these rights in the hopes the liberals in this country never get the chance to take our Second Amendment rights away from us.”

For the opportunity to win the AK-47 all folks have to do is visit Allen Arms Indoor Range in Greenville and fill out a free entry form,” Allen added. “You do not have to buy a ticket to the Machine gun Social to win the AK-47 but you do have to be a resident of South Carolina and meet all the legal requirements necessary to own a weapon. We do encourage participants to be present at Allen Arms at 5:15PM on September 26 when we draw the winning name.”

“The Machine gun Social itself is from 1:00PM – 5:00PM on September 26 at Allen Arms. It’s going to be a fun day filled with barbecue, music and of course the opportunity to fire a weapon on full auto,” Allen said. “I can’t think of a better way to celebrate our right to keep and bear arms.”
