I keep it simple.

Private event, we have the range to ourselves, 5 shooting lanes.

Range limits use to handguns, 22cal thru 45acp, sorry no magnums.

I do have extra guns, but I have to plan for ammo, so I need to know if you are coming.
Space is limited, but I'm not going to worry unless 20 or more people show up.


We give qucik safety overview, a quick run down on the guns, then we just shoot.

Nothing formal, everyone has fun. The atmosphere is social.

I am the local coordinator for the SJ Pink Pistols and since I run the shoot, I'm the gatekeeper.

I do pay for use of the range, I ask a 10 dollar donation to cover costs.

Ammunition costs.

22cal 100 rounds 5 dollars
9mm 100 rounds 17 dollars
40 cal 100 rounds 24 dollars
45 cal 50 rounds 15 dollars.

I loan use of my guns as a courtesy.

I will be bringing at least 8 pistols with me. After the shoot, if there is interest, we can get together and then discuss where we will go from here

Hey guys.

We need to get into action this month, right after Christmas.

Many people will be sending in Absentee ballots, so neighborhood walks right after Christmas will be critical.

Republican registration is low in Milpitas. In theory, we could potentially get to every republican with Ron Paul info.

Another group we could target are independents. We should be carrying voter registration cards with us, and be willing to use 2 cards per person if needed.

One card to change a person to republican and one card to give to them so that they can change back. Most won't bother doing anything, but we need to change the registration on the spot otherwise most won't follow through.

We also need to see how we can post signs over the major highways. That will help Ron with commuters.

The Republican primaries are getting starting to really get hot. Mike Huckabee is gaining support among the Christian Evangelicals. Fred Thompson is just holding.

What we are looking at is a 6 man race. Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo are basically going nowhere.
The media sees this as a 5 becoming a 5 man race, for some reason they keep forgetting about us.

I predict Ron Paul will hit 11 million dollars sometime this weekend, he needs another 300K in donations.
I predict Ron Paul will hit 12 million before Dec 16.
I predict Ron Paul will raise 10 million dollars on Dec 16.
I predict Ron Paul will end the quarter with 22 to 25 million dollars raised.
I predict the Ron Paul meetups will have over 100,000 people by the end of this month.

Will Ron Paul win, I don't know but we increase his odds everytime we help

Ron Paul is catching fire, we need to add lots of fuel to make it happen even more.

I am in the process of possibly having access to a large San Jose nightclub which could b used for a large fundraiser. I will coordinate with other Bay area groups as well as national.

Club could hold 8 to 900 people, I would like to target at least 600 people at 200 dollars each, that would allow the event to clear 100,000 dollars. Combine that with a few other bay area events and Ron Paul could make it a 200,000 to 300,000 dollar day.

We have to think big. Even if we hit 100,000 for that event, it would generate alot of local news, the benefit would multiple the effect of the fund raiser.

Other issues we need to set up for is getting large weather proof Ron Paul banners to be held up at highway overpasses for both the morning and evening commute.

We have 5 major overpasses which would be viewed by many motorists.

Ron Paul seems to be is now getting press coverage.

Republican registration in the bay area is low, but congressional districts here carry the same weight for delegates as congressional districts in high republican districts for dlegate purposes.

Pat Robertson's endorsement of Rudy Guiliani is a major blessing for Ron Paul. What Pat Robertson has done is shut of organized support from the religious right to all the other "Conservative Candidates".

Pat's Robertson's endorsement of Rudy may also undermine some support among "moderate" republicans because they may question what did Rudy promise Pat in order to get his support.

I don't claim to be a political expert, but these events are going to actually have people seriously looking at the candidates for a change.

Fred Thompson's campaign has not taken off, he has not demonstrated that he is the new Ron Reagan.

Alot of the other minor candidates are going to fizzle out. For many conservatives voting for Huckabee, Tancredo, and Duncan Hunter will in fact be a wasted vote.

Mitt Romney is not trusted and neither is John McCain.

I really think this race will be between Rudy Guilliani and Ron Paul.

Rudy Guilliani can lose California to Ron Paul if Ron Paul wins liberal congressional districts outright.

Ron Paul's anti war, pro medical marijuania values could do it for us which is why each of us must do our part to make things happen.

If each of us would commit to send money to the campaign, especially on Dec 16, 2007 since that is the day the Boston Tea party happened, Ron will have enough money to get the word out.

His 4.2 million dollar hall on Nov 5 got him in the news. Things like that will make the campaign grow.

After Christmas we all get our letters from our friendly IRS. Of course, that will only make Ron Paul's abolish the IRS message even stronger.

The IRS is the most hated agency in the country.

With Ron Paul's message of change our foreign policy to non intervention, end the American empire and cut the spending to eliminate April 15, we hit many core gut emotional issues that many Americans will like.

Think about it, what are the other candidates offering.

Voting for any other Republican candidate is voting to cut your families budget by 4 to 10,000 dollars for the average person per year so that we can send our military all around the world, interfer in everyone elses affairs so that we build hostility toward the US worldwide.

Of course we also have to beef up homeland security which raises government spending even more. I mean things like curtailing rights or the dollar dropping in value are only small consequences, right.

I mean all that will happen is the cost of goods that come into our country will go up because of the declining value of the dollar. So what if gasoline goes to 4 or 5 dollars per gallon.

Small inconvience for the War of terrror, right.

Guys, we have the right message, we need to get it out.

Primaries will be here soon, we need to take action and I want to see what people are willing to do.

Everybody has their time/money limitations and I respect that.
Everybody has something that they can do.

But nothing happens if no one takes action.

We have a opportunity to really make a difference.

The reality is all the other republican candidates are in trouble. In USA today, Oct 5,2007, the campaign funds raised by the major candidates tells the picture.

We have more money than McCain
Thompson only has raised 9.3 million and has only 7 million on hand
Romney has only 9 million on hand
Gulliani has only 11 million on hand.

All of them have campaigns that burn through money and all of them took in less money this quarter compared to last.

Romney would be out of the race if he didn't pump in his own money. McCain is spending faster than he can take in, Thompson is not raising funds or traction like he thought.

Ron Paul has over 5 million on hand, and will hit his goal of 12 million by next quarter.
We need to be there, this isn't a lost cause.

I just came back from the gun rights policy conference in Kentucky. Ron Paul was the only presidential candidate there and these are the hard core gun activists that get things done.

Ron is getting support across the political spectrum because Freedom is Popular.

What Ron Paul needs is exposure. We are in a unique situation that because delegates from Califorinia come from each congressional district. Due to low republican registrations here in the bay area, we can have a significant effect since there are less voters to get to.

In fact, getting independents to register with Ron Paul could help us easily capture the whole bay area.

Let's get together Sat and lay down some plans to make things happen.

I want to keep meetings to a min, but some things can't be handled by posts.

Most Americans work all their lives and have little to show for it in the end.

95 percent of the population controls only 5 percent of the nation's wealth.
5 percent of the population controls 95 percent of the nation's wealth.

Regardless of what happens politically, those numbers are unlikely to change because the wealthy do things differently than the poor. The wealthy know how to make money work for them.

That is the way it is, life is not fair, get over it. The question I have to ask is are you where you want to be?
Are you willing to make changes, take calculated risks to get to where you would like to be?

I personally have decided to change the direction of my life. I am no longer going to exist, I am going to live, I am going to make choices and if I crash, I will get up and continue, because for me, the only way to fail in life is to just give up.

I know 95 percent of you would rather just stay in your comfort zone. Some of you are probably offended that I would dare invite you to a business opportunity. I apologize, you need read no further.

This meeting is for those who still believe they can have their dreams and will take action to make things happen.

I joined a company called itv ventures.

Info on ITV Ventures can be found at my company created website at www.itvventures.com/nickistallard.
I would encourage you to visit my site before you come to the business presentation.

My business partners put together a no cost presentation with a dynamic speaker, Dan Sylvestre, who will present this unbelievable opportunity and can answer all of your questions.

Many people say they wish they got in at the beginning of Amway, Mary Kay, Avon, etc. etc.

Being at the right place and the right time does not matter if you do not take action. I am sure many of you look back at your life and say to yourself, if I had only done this, done that, etc.etc.etc.

We cry over lost opportunites, please don't let this be another lost opportunity.

Ignorance is not bliss, it is expensive.
Knowledge is not power if unless it is Applied knowledge.

This is why many highly formally educated people are broke and many less formally educated people are rich.

We will be at Extended Stay America Hotel in Union City

Event will be listed under ITV Ventures.
Event will run from 12:30pm to 4pm.

Thank you for taking the time to read this event.
I look forward to meeting all of you on Sat.
