In keeping with our PFRW President’s theme, “Our Children, Our Future,” Jared Boxes will be collected on October 19th, 2013 at the Fall Conference.
Individuals may bring or box, or perhaps a group or council would like to put a box together.
The goal of the Jared Box Project is to lift the spirits of chronically ill children. The boxes symbolize the importance of play and are filled with well wishes, hope, and love.
A Jared Box is a shoebox size plastic storage box filled with small gifts, toys, cards, and games. Each box contains items selected for a specific age and gender. The boxes are delivered to hospitals and are given to chronically ill children. The Jared Boxes provide a special diversion for young patients as they receive chemotherapy and other medical treatments.
The Jared Box Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. All donations are tax-deductible.
The Jared Box project was started in 2001 by the children at Our Lady of Victory School in State College, PA to honor their classmate and friend, Jared. He was a brave little boy who battled cancer with courage and faith that continues to inspire us all.
For directions on putting together a Jared Box to go http://www.thejaredbox.com/makeAJaredBox.html Boxes will be donated to the Children’s Weis Hospital in Danville, PA.

PI2013 #581 – Effect Of Decentralized Power

“Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of private firearms is the goal” ~ Janet Reno

Liberty Lovers,
http://www.usdebtclock.org: Every American Taxpayer Now “Owes” “The (federal) State” $148,148, every citizen $53,483.
“I don’t believe people should be able to own guns.” ~ Barack Obama
Two Personal Firearm Rectriction advocates have been recalled from Colorado’s State Senate. Both rationalized their recalls as not reflecting ‘overwhelming’ numbers of Coloradans favoring expanded personal firearm restrictions. Constituents voted differently.
“If someone is so fearful that, that they’re going to start using their weapons to protect their rights, makes me very nervous that these people have weapons at all!” ~ Representative Henry A. Waxman (courtesy an AAH reader)
“We, the American People“ would be extraordinarily naivé to believe personal firearm restriction advocates would be satisfied with ‘common sense’ controls like increased background checks or ammunition capacity limits.
Decentralized Power Fortifies Liberty’s promise. Despotism and tyranny thrive on centralized power and legal control over many by a select few. Centralized power has its roots in oppressive law written to grant maximum authority to public officials, minimum to ordinary people.
“Democracy is defended in 3 stages. Ballot Box, Jury Box, Cartridge Box.” ~ Ambrose Bierce
Liberty Is Self-Determination. Self-determination is forever at risk when ‘government’ (“The State”) has power to restrict means of self-defense available to ordinary people while arming law enforcement with firepower deemed appropriate or necessary.
People Intending To Live In Liberty do not allow legislators – or other public officials within These United States of America, to interfere in business matters between private citizens in any way so long as those dealings are free of fraudulent behavior by all parties and do not encourage threats to national security by foreign powers or known enemies of the United States of America. They negotiate business matters on their own.
