DON’T MISS BOB ON THE AIR OR ON THE ROAD:  

THANK YOU to all those who tuned in to hear Bob Schulz and Dr. Edwin Vieira on “Committees of Safety” last Wednesday night.  Bob had a cough that would not cease, making his participation impossible.  However, the two “Saving Fathers” did get together the next evening for an inspirational round on Patriot Heart Network – Liberty talk show, hosted by WTP member Terry Dodd.  This is an interview well worth hearing!  Judith Whitmore and Todd McGreevy also participated in the two hour + session.  You can hear the interview here.  

AUGUST 31^st - “The Aroostook Watchmen,” Steve Martin and Jack McCarthy interview Bob Schulz on Monday morning at 7:50 am EST, on WXME-AM (780) from Monticello, Maine. 

SEPTEMBER 1^ST - “Constitution Radio Network,” Dr. Kate (“Texas Darlin”) interviews Bob Schulz on Tuesday evening at 9pm EST.

SEPTEMBER 1 – 10 “They say” timing is everything!  Isn’t it interesting that Bob Schulz is heading CC2009 and also in the midst of the Discovery phase for the all-important NCEL case simultaneously?  Not fun. Most of Bob’s time thru September 10 must be devoted to the NCEL case, which is in the Discovery phase, but the CC2009 team is ready to move forward.   During this time, he will also address the media regarding what he refers to as America’s great CONSTITUTIONAL DIVIDE and the media’s recent coverage of  the open-carry WTP members William Kostric and Chris Boughton.  

SEPTEMBER 12 - Bob Schulz speaks at Northern New England CC2009 Meeting:  1-5pm – Hampton Inn, Bangor, Maine.   

SEPTEMBER 17 - 19 - Campaign for Liberty – Northeast Regional Meeting – Valley Forge, PA; CC2009 will have an exhibit table and an ad in the program.  

SEPTEMBER 24-26 (tentative): Welcoming and fundraising events in St. Charles and Evanston, Illinois. 

OCTOBER 17 – Bob Schulz will receive the Freedom Fighter Award at the Liberty Forum in Connecticut; Mr. Schulz will address the attendees at 9 a.m. and receive the award at 8:30 a.m.; Details: http://nheld.com/CTLibertyForum.htm

OCTOBER 18 - Bob Schulz and Judith Whitmore will present The Freedom Scroll Ceremony including a speech by Bob.  Northwest Ohio Liberty Conference – University of Findley.
