Susquehanna Valley Conservatives looking for volunteers to walk in the 4th of July Veteran’s Parade

The Union County Veterans 4^th of July Parade will be held in Lewisburg on Saturday, June 29 starting at 10:00AM. Susquehanna Valley Conservatives would like to participate in this outstanding annual event provided we can get enough of our members and their friends to commit to walking the 1.2 mile parade route. Bob Harder and Bob Lebda, SVC co-founders, will lead our group and proudly carry the red and white SVC banner. However, we need to have at least 25 adults, and as many children and grandchildren as possible, agree to walk behind the banner to make it a worthwhile venture. We are contemplating having hand outs of some kind that can be distributed to people along the parade route. This will be given further consideration if we meet the required number of at least 25 adult participants.

Please email Bob Harder at rharder@ptd,net if you want to walk with the SVC in the parade. Give him your name, email address and telephone number. Indicate how many adults (including yourself) would participate and how many youth/children will accompany you. Provide him with this information by no later than June 1.

Susquehanna Valley Conservatives sponsor bus to Second Amendment Rally 4/23/2013

Fellow Conservatives,

There is a very important event taking place in Harrisburg on Tuesday, April 23^rd. It’s the PA Second Amendment Action Day which demands the attention of all citizens, especially hunters, who are concerned about our Second Amendment and plans by the Obama Administration to severely restrict our right to own and bear arms, if not to confiscate them completely. Attached are two fliers that outline the important purpose for holding this event.

SVC wants to support State Representative Daryl Metcalfe and leaders from pro-Second Amendment organizations from across the state of Pennsylvania. In order to make it easy for our members to attend this event we have chartered a bus to take us to Harrisburg and back. The cost is a very reasonable at $20 per person to ride in comfort to and from Harrisburg on Tuesday, April 23^rd. There are still some seats available but we encourage you to sign up as soon as possible but certainly before April 1. A reservation form is attached for your convenience.

SVC Planning Committee

Susquehanna Valley Conservatives Bus Trip 4-23-2013

Note time change for March 2013 SVC Meeting. Rep Daryl Metcalfe to speak on Second Amendement Rights

Please note that the March 11, 2013 Susquehanna Valley Conservatives will be held at 7:30 pm (rather than 7 pm as previously announced).

“PROTECTING OUR RIGHTS TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS”

That’s the topic Daryl Metcalfe (Republican- Butler County) will be addressing when he is the speaker for the Monday, March 11 meeting of Susquehanna Valley Conservatives at 7:00PM in the Baylor East Conference Room of the Best Western Country Cupboard Inn, Lewisburg. Recognized by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette as the Pennsylvania General Assembly’s “No. 1 Conservative”, State Representative Daryl Metcalfe is serving his eighth term in office. He serves as the Republican Majority Chairman of the Pennsylvania House State Government Committee.

On January 23, 2013, Rep. Metcalfe announced his legislation that would make any new federal gun control laws unenforceable within the Commonwealth. “Passage of my legislation will send a message that there will never be additional gun control, anywhere in Pennsylvania,” said Metcalfe. “Whether by White House executive orders, congressional fiat, or judicial activism, we will never allow the left to benefit from the wicked acts of murderers in order to advance their senseless gun-grabbing agenda which would only succeed in replacing one of our most sacred personal liberties with the chains of government tyranny.”

The meeting is free and the public is encouraged to attend.
