    BTW All a local preemption violators has to do to avoid any court cost and ligation cost is simply repeal illegal their ordinances and respect the "Rule of Law".

    Seems like "common sense" for elected officials to simply just obey the laws of the commonwealth of PA, which is really funny that all the anti-gunners often use the "common sense" statement in lobbying against constitutional protected freedoms, yet they don't have a clue of what "common sense" really means.

    Another in a series of overwhelming majority votes by the both houses toward CeasefirePA having to pay up as promised, HAVE A NICE DAY!


    FYI

    now got to blend them into one bill and vote it

    then send it to Governor Wolf's desk

    where its political hot potato for Wolf

    IF Wolf veto's AS he would be breaking the support for the RULE OF LAW by the legislators.
    As firearm preemption has been settled in the courts several time its a court loser for the gun grabbers.

    That law breaking veto will then be a campaign issue then used in reelection race for governor by Wolf's opponent

    Also a veto override is already being planned for just in case its needed.
    Many thanks to you guys who did the heavy lifting on this. I did my small part to support you, as did many others. The emails, phone calls and other contacts helps these guys get it done. Show up on 5/22 and get in your rep's face. It works.

    For FY 16, Ceasefire PA reports total income of $722K, of which $439K was spent on salaries. Officers are Nancy Gordon, Nancy Grogan, Nickolas Certo, and Shawn Kraemer. Executive Director Shira Goodman draws a salary of $108K. Outreach and education programs, which is their primary mission, account for $111K of total spending. Their balance sheet shows $623K in cash an hand at end of FY16. The most recent year appears to be their biggest ever: income in 2011 was only $432K. They report $45K in lobbying activities for last year.

    Looking at this from a different approach...

    I have proposed to my township PD a program which would allow the PD to give our local townspeople instruction on gun handling, the law and CC. Instead of fighting a few Liberal trolls, why not focus on educating the masses and offering instruction?

    Ceasefire PA is a small, no nothing organization. We need to counter their activities with a measure which will not only educate people, but also give them a legal, law abiding solution/lesson on guns.

    I am writing this proposal and will be submitting to our PD within the next few weeks. I would suggest we have other members of PAFOA do the same within their own locales.

    I think being proactive is going to bear more fruit than being reactive. What say you?

    I'm believing that they funnel a lot more money that never passes through their accounts. Their ability to be a PITA should definitely not be underestimated.

    I agree that educating more people will be extremely beneficial, especially in the cities and their immediate suburbs. I think the only way to get that done with a PD would be to totally fund it from the outside, and even then there would be political interference and problems if the program tried to use resources like police ranges. There are probably better ways to do it. Perhaps forming small non-profits that could channel money from anonymous pro-2A sources is the ticket...

    BTW, if only 15% of your spending is on the programs that your mission is about, you are a HORRIBLY ineffective, inefficient non-profit.

    IMO, they should not be a 501c3. There's another chapter of the 501c tax code for non-profits that is for political groups. I don't know enough about the code to say for sure.

    Stupid forum access on a tablet, ate my post.

    They are not required to disclose donors.

    I'm skeptical about $45K for lobbying. What are their 'educational' programs? If you're 'educating' government officials, you're lobbying, IMO.
